about

This is a vocal/choral/electronic composition my friend Jerome and I have been collaborating on the last few months. It's very different from anything we've done before, and all started with music I heard in a state of lucid dreaming, This song features Alter Ego voice synthesis along with human vocals, orchestra instruments and world percussion.

lyrics

Since you changed me I've been waiting on a call
It feels so strange watching writing on the wall
Since you changed me I've been looking for a fall
When the leaves drop I am waiting for them all

These illusions rearrange them all around
Keep my secrets in the stories that I've bound
Buried deeper so they never can be found
Until the day there's no earth below the ground

Since you changed me I've been fading on the grass
Hollow shadows streaming pictures flicker past
I've been waiting for the time to come so fast
Time is changing, look how long the time can last

Jewelled movement, rings of stars stream 'round her crown
Spinning spirals, balance wheels of tensions wound
Neolithic henges gate the Ages round --
Dawn is breaking, I am waking with the sound

Andromeda, fairest daughter bound to stone
Cassiopeia, revolution takes her throne
Leviathan, Cetus bringer of the storm
Stella Maris, trusted beacon guide us home

Orpheus hangs his harp upon the World Tree
Cygnus' bough breaks, sings its swansong melody
Globe and sceptre, precession strikes the Dragon's crown
White Wand Willow, Brigit brings her Starry Plough
