Story: Don Campau I didn't know. Wallace Stevens I didn't know. Now I do, and I'm happier for the experience.
I'd always wanted to attempt a multiple harmony 'thing' and this seemed the perfect place to try it. All in all I'm happy, though this is top of my list of tracks to tweak when I get a moment.
The spoken word pieces were the muse food for this mix.
My 6th track
Lyric: World
Words by Wallace Stevens
This cloudy world
By aid of land and sea
Night and day, wind and quiet,
Produces more nights, more days
More clouds, more worlds
The water never formed to mind or voice,
Like a body wholly body, fluttering
Its empty sleeves; and yet its mimic motion
Made constant cry
This cloudy world, this cloudy world
He never supposed divine
Things might not look divine, nor that if nothing
Was divine then all things were, the world itself,
And that if nothing was the truth, then all
Things were the truth, the world itself was the truth.
The world itself was the truth
