::::::::::::::::::: thank you for listening :::::::::::::::::::
This is the first album I have put out under my own name! I recorded this music between late 2018 and early 2020 using synthesisers, guitar and tape; for passive or intent listening. Based on the poem 'The Starlight Night' by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
This video uses footage from the film Baraka (1992, directed by Ron Ficke) which can be seen here: http://youtu.be/pCyPV_5xbsw
00:00:00 (1) Look at the stars!
00:03:14 (2) Look, look up at the skies!
00:07:12 (3) O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
00:10:23 (4) The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
00:12:52 (5) Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes!
00:17:25 (6) The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!
00:22:14 (7) Wind-beat whitebeam!
00:26:27 (8) Airy abeles set on a flare!
00:30:19 (9) Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!
00:32:48 (10) Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize.
00:35:12 (11) Buy then! bid then! — What? —
00:38:56 (12) Prayer, patience, alms, vows.
00:40:52 (13) Look, look: a May-mess,
00:42:57 (14) Like on orchard boughs!
00:46:28 (15) Look! March-bloom,
00:49:54 (16) Like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!
00:51:52 (17) These are indeed the barn; withindoors house
00:54:27 (18) The shocks.
00:57:40 (19) This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
01:00:02 (20) Christ home,
01:04:27 (21) Christ and his mother and all his hallows.
