I've been a Kate fan for a long time and this is a fantastic cover. Enough faithfulness to the original, but the arrangement breathes some new life into it. Well done!
Lovely to work with the talented Ms Daulby again...she had asked for a version of this super Beverly Craven classic and I was happy to oblige! Thanks to 13111y for his usual excellent tweaking and mastering......

Particularly following a very recent piece, Nordic Noir, I may have slipped into movie/TV/Game trailer mode!!! So here is a piece featuring solo violin that has been titled An Awakening...and listeners can then put their own imagination to work…
Aaaaaaar - har har me hearties!! A swashbuckling adventure on the high seas....!! The BBC Symphony Orchestra to the fore again....such a pleasure to compose with.....
Something different again...using only free sample libraries, mostly from the amazing Pianobook community, I imagined a trailer or theme music for a Scandinavian dark crime thriller series....

Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…

Good to get a discussion going now, even if a bit round the houses!! Glad it wasn’t just me re the Floyd thing on this track, and now reading other comments from your thread, I can agree some Tull influence too...a rather excellent combination! I was late to the Floyd party, to be fair, being a total Genesis nut since forever, but then when I was invited to join a PF tribute in 2008 for a few years, grew to love their music totally.....
