Birches i [Demo]

Parliament [Demo]

First single from the upcoming album 'Moving. Picture. Image.'

'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' written by T.S. Eliot and read by Anthony Hopkins. 

"Do I dare 
Disturb the universe?	
In a minute there is time	
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.	

For I have known them all already, known them all:	
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, 
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." 

"No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;	
Am an attendant lord, one that will do	
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,	
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,	
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;	
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;	
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous -	
Almost, at times, the Fool."

[Stanza 6/7; lines 45-51 + Stanza 15; lines 111-119] 

Originally published in 1915 in 'Poetry; A Magazine of Verse'

This album is for a final university project. The composition/structure of the album was incredibly significant so due to time restrictions put in place by a submission date these tracks are not fully realised in a production context and should be viewed from a composition stand point as opposed to a mixing one. We effectively had 5 months to compose, conceptualise, arrange, record, mix and master all songs from scratch whilst writing dissertations and scoring a student film. Despite this mammoth task we're both very happy with what we've achieved and can't wait to take the pieces further.

A quick note on some of the albums content is needed to establish relevant artistic properties. As you can hear we have used a plethora of poetry and voiceover samples of which we do not own the creative rights to. This is a non-profit project however that still does not mean we cannot give credit where credit is due. Without the works of Robert Frost this album would be a mere speck of meaningless dust so we cannot thank his brain enough.
