Today I had the delight of being a part of the book launch for "it was never about the Kingfisher", a poety book by my good friend & multiple award-winning poet Helen Kay, published by Dithering Chaps.
Helen had asked me to collaborate by writing and recording music for, by her own account, darkest poem in the collection "O Morpheus".
I was keen not to turn the poem into a song, but to keep the structure of this poem as it is, and instead use music to emotionally annotate, illustrate & illuminate this beautiful but disturbing poem.
