This Strange Eventful History

[tonecarver]

Here is a non-ambient piece from me, my first for a long while. I lost all hearing in my left ear some months ago and have been timid about putting anything out due to having no way (except for meters) to judge the width aspects of a piece. But birdies gotta sing so here is the latest piece that seems to really resonate with where I am right now.

It's an introspective piece ... synths, samples and spoken word.

Is it all from Romeo and Juliet? It's a lovely entwining of words and music. Sounds great but I'm not listening to it through anything decent to be able to evaluate accurately.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

The Shakespeare readings are from several different plays; Romeo & Juliet, As You Like It, Macbeth, Hamlet, etc.

I'm not hugely up on my Shakespeare but I really like the ideas you have here. His poetry flows like music anyway (If music be the food of love-ahh I remembered that quote!) so it makes an interesting layering system when you put them together. I found it quite inspiring. Another thing I found inspiring is that often when people lose an element of hearing, something else becomes enhanced to make up for that deficiency. I wonder if you are 'hearing' many different things now so your music will be taking on a new and different dynamic-just a thought.
Thank you for your helpful comments on my Sound Cloud btw :D

Wow! I loved the mix. It sounded great here on my monitors, at quite a high volume whilst doing some paperwork.

I think the synth instrumental would also make a great ambient track in its own right.

Good work
