about

This is a long suite. There are no words, coz that would be much easier to express the despair and loss I feel about what happened to us this year. Instead, instruments tell the tale of 2020. It borrows structure and form from other long pieces such as Echoes, Telegraph Road, Los Endos and Supper's Ready.

There are four parts:

00.00 : 04.11 - another day in the wet market
04.12 : 06.14 - virus!
06.15 : 10.41 - lockdown
10.42 : 12.56 - new reality

lyrics

this is an instrumental so a lot of guitars and electric keyboards, but plenty of noise from the percussion dept as well. keep an ear out for the xylophone, glockenspiel, triangle, moroccan camel skin bongoes, the obligatory tambourine and a jar full of chick peas.

about

trio of misfortune Sydney, Australia

I hope you enjoy these collections of my music. Michael. ... more
