FROM A MOVIE, AS YET UNMADE

'a quiet life keeps you happy but you always feel there might be more'

Rough mix: Laid back 12 string guitar and vocals start, but soon morphs into 'another world'

Another Room, Another World

Lyrics and vocals by Nic Evennett
Mixed by Adam Ellis

We are watching us ghost side,
There are clothes to be washed and hung from the line,
You are blurry and blue-eyed...
Chop the wood into diamonds on cloud nine.

Stir the pot, sing a lullaby,
While the angels around you scream 'Fire!'
For the child to beautify,
For the man to inearth every choir.
For the man to inearth every choir.

The joke's on you, 
Careless little thing. 
Bold unyielding, 
Bouncing round a ring. 

So whose side were you on?
Whose side were you on?
Turns out they all decide. 

Merge with the motion... 
The blow, the cornering, 
Just for the simple things, 
Just for arrival. 
You want to take me on?
So won't you show yourself.
I bleed survival. 

Masked marvelling!
Pointed, china chin...
Just keep the peace, girl, 
Keep the weakness in. 
So who'll guide you along?
Who'll guide you along?
Turns out it always turns out. 

Merge with the motion... 
The blow, the cornering, 
Just for the simple things, 
Just for arrival. 
You want to take me on?
So won't you show yourself.
I bleed survival. 

Merge with the motion...

A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR
A TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR
A GUARDIAN BEST FICTION BOOK OF 2021

Treacle Walker is a stunning fusion of myth and folklore and an exploration of the fluidity time, vivid storytelling that illuminates an introspective young mind trying to make sense of everything around him. 

 ‘Ragbone! Ragbone! Any rags! Pots for rags! Donkey stone!’ 

Joe looked up from his comic and lifted his eye patch. There was a white pony in the yard. It was harnessed to a cart, a flat cart, with a wooden chest on it. A man was sitting at a front corner of the cart, holding the reins. His face was creased. He wore a long coat and a floppy high-crowned hat, with hair straggling beneath, and a leather bag was slung from his shoulder across his hip.

Joe Coppock squints at the world with his lazy eye. He reads his comics, collects birds' eggs and treasures his marbles, particularly his prized dobbers. When Treacle Walker appears off the Cheshire moor one day – a wanderer, a healer – an unlikely friendship is forged and the young boy is introduced to a world he could never have imagined.

Treacle Walker is a stunning fusion of myth and folklore and an exploration of the fluidity of time, vivid storytelling that brilliantly illuminates an introspective young mind trying to make sense of everything around him.

Treacle Walker, By Alan Garner, Read by Robert Powell

I found this Northumbrian pipe tune in a manuscript. It's called 'Over the Border' and I think was about Hadrian's Wall. I got a slight obsession with the sound of this tune, and the idea of borders. How humans perceive and create borders which do not exist in nature, and what this means for the world.

Competition entry for the Professional Composers Community 2020 August Sad Music Contest.

I had a really hard time with this competition theme. This is my fifth attempt, and the first idea that didn't just end up depressingly uninteresting. Unfortunately, I didn't come up with it until the weekend before the deadline, so I only had two days, but that's enough for a piece like this, once there is a proper idea to build on.

The vision behind this piece is rather abstract... "Where do we go from here?" I suppose that's how I feel about life in general right now, but not exactly in a way that inspires creativity, which is probably why I had such a hard time with this.

Hold out a hand to those mislaid.
...Naivety's best accolade...
And still we warm the wild wanderlust.
But I can't tell what blooms, what's broken,
And what is true in all that's spoken,
With nothing left to paw through all the dust.

What's coming's flashing blue into the night,
The beaming's blinding every time.
But please don't wake me,
I,
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know. 

Those good intentions look so pretty,
And so do lights in violent cities - 
We're not that good at being good at all.
Not always weak who need your worry:
The strong are tired and always sorry.
Been built so high, they're liable to fall.
 
And so my riddles gather in the hall
With flowers, standing by my side. 
A you-shaped gap...
Oh, I, 
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.

I Don't Want To Know
