A most mournful and lovely piece with a definite feel of Japan. A perfect accompaniment to your amazing photograph.

This is a motet I wrote for theory class slowed down by a factor of 12 and sung by 4 different choirs. A contribution to the ImprovFriday drone fest. And I made a video too.

very nice,,, im going to have to come back and watch the video,, in a way it reminds me of the softer side of Michael Hedges, have you ever heard of him? if not i think you would really enjoy looking him up,,,, this is very beautiful!! perhaps we could figure out some sort of piano and guitar colab... though im not sure how that might work with the tunings you use,, but perhaps i can re-tune my yamaha i use for recording,,, or we take care Richard,, and once again well done!!
