Hi all,
I'm in the midst of recording a concept album called 'Fields'. It will be a series of 'ambient' pieces of music which are recorded at my home with me, alone, improvising, sometimes live, sometimes multitracking. The pieces are sonic representations of fields, that is, literal fields, as in the fields that have grass growing in them! Hehe. Literal is a strange word to describe them though (or anything really), but I think you get the picture. So far I have recorded 'Dusk Field', 'Morning Field' and 'Lost Field', but only one of these is complete. I've just posted the complete one, entitled, 'Lost Field'. There will be 6-8 fields recorded for the album.
At present, these fields are my hope and where I'm pouring my love.
Each field will have a silent text that operates within the song. Here is the text for 'Lost Field'.
Lost Field
....................
At what point
did the love,
once cherished,
become poison?
.. ..
Infected blood,
an unnatural, angry crimson.
.. ..
And so, the bloodletting begins,
and fevered expulsions
become a gnashing desire,
wilted limbs, cheeks that could cut,
sallow skin wraps itself
lovingly to your bones,
your bones, yes,
even they have been penetrated,
perhaps the origin of all memory,
lies in an aching shudder,
deep within their chalk white centres.
I hope you enjoy.
xo, Adam
