I love the 80s vibe to it! Feels like I'm in a video game or shopping channel somewhere! ❤️❤️❤️

The Eighties Spaceship

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A
California dreamin' on a winter's day

I stopped into a church I passed along the way
I got down on my knees and I pretended to pray
The preacher liked the cold, he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm
I'd be safe and warm
I'd be safe and warm
I'd be safe and warm

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't go, I would leave today
California dreamin' on a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day

by The Mama's and the Papa's
Cover by Saoirse Gribbon

The song talks about going for a walk in the winter, and so I thought I’d create the ambience of this old classic with a peaceful, calm acoustic in G major reflecting a winters day. For the final performance of this, I would like to add strings and a little percussion to support the melody, but not take away from its delicacy.

Dancing With Grandma's Skirt (She Doesn't Approve) is a story about a young matador who forgets his capote (bull fighting cape)before a big fight. His grandmother, being an avid spectator of the sport, has a house situated next to the arena, so the matador races to her house and borrow one of her skirts for the fight. 

As we hear the fight between the matador and the bull go on we realise the story is being told by the grandmother in her local supermarket and how she is frustrated with her grandson creative use of her prized skirt!

The story finishes with a triumphant call on saxes but whether that is between the matador and the bull or the grandmother successfully telling her grandson off is up to the imagination of the listener!

Dancing With Grandma's Skirt (She Doesn't Approve)

Sound as excitation of space
a flash through the unlit quiet
earshot illuminations
as shimmering series of spark

Comprising multiple personal binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) - samples of space in the human spatial register - this piece explores the modulation and dynamic of the spatial image via abstract materials.
