For the past 8 months, our lives have been changed by COVID. I've been working to put my experience to music. Pulling into myself, I have had time and space to create. For this I am grateful.
COVID has been a time to sit with myself; with the good and the bad, the dark and the light. The music speaks of pain, yearning, isolation, anger, solitude and beauty.
This tune is a folk melody that I learned as a child. It's a melody I like to hum when I'm feeling anxious, and goodness knows these are anxious times.
I have arranged the melody using my loop pedal. As you listen, you will hear one voice become two, then three, and eventually five voices singing as one.
What this process reminded me of is the importance, the power, and the beauty of many voices. Of communicating and co-existing together. Of Community and Connection.
This is a one shot take. It's not perfect but it's real. I hope you enjoy.
