Love the mood and the vocals on this track, great!

Sparse arrangement and a wonderful vocal performance. 10/10.

For someone 'new' to music this is amazing. This sounds like a seasoned pro. Vocal dynamics/colours and harmonies.

Hills & Glens
(traditional)

V1
'Tis Nova Scotia is my home
I love it as no other
Where man is free to ply his trade
And each to each his brother.

Chorus
The hills and glens that I love well
The rolling surf that charms me
The lake with speckled trout lie still
And all is peace around me.

V2
In summer warmth and winter cold
In fog and storm and sunshine
What 'ere it's mood my heart is here
And will remain for all time. (Chorus)

Repeat V1 +Chorus

Ending
My home... Nova Scotia... is... my home.

This track is a  performance of a re-imagined, Nova Scotia folk song, arranged and performed by Susan McBride. The traditional version of 'The Hills and Glens' was collected by Helen Creighton and is part of the famed Helen Creighton Collection. In providing Nova Scotia content in her curriculum during her teaching career, Sue taught this song to many children in the province.

Hills And Glens

the amazing boy

A Fool's Paradise

The title comes from Steve Fullyard who heard a preview of the song and went into a trance for a couple minutes haha. 
He comes out of it and asks if I had a title, I said no and he says "Vimana". So I had to look that up and thought it fits great.

So Close

In this piece the newly invented string instruments are playing in combination with flute, soprano voice and piano. The strings are being stretched between the beams of the mezzanine of the building and also hanging from the ceiling beams with heavy weights on them. The hanging strings surround the audience and musicians. A very special building HET VEEM (Van Diemenstraat 410, 1013 CR Amsterdam) - former warehouse, where the piece was premiered, inspired us to create these instruments and this composition. The concert was performed as a part of Toetsdestijds Concerten Series.
