Welcome to Sound and Music!
Play this song – voice and guitar – simply sweet, connecting…
Sound seems to come in so many forms…when I was first learning as a child, it was in the form of classical music and, along a completely different track, it was also in the form of solitary walks in the forest, listening to the wind move through the leaves in the trees, the sound of the sea lapping at the edges of the stony east Anglian beach, the acoustics of a room, the sound of someones voice…
Then, one day, I came across the surprising discovery that sound is touch, sound is intelligence, sound is form, sound is emotion… in fact, it seems to be everything… even in silence there is movement, aliveness – and that awareness changed my universe.
I have heard Clare play and sing on many occasions and she has always impressed me with the mellow articulation of her voice. I enjoy her singing her own songs, even more when she intones wordlessly to the sound of her Shruti. This has a primeval quality that, for me, goes to the heart of our evolved musical sensibility. It is in tune with the music of the earth and that makes it all the more relevant in the face of the pollution challenges we all face. Lastly, and this is so important, as an artist her style is subtly changing from year to year as she matures and becomes more zen-like. This continuous development is always the mark of an artist with integrity and I shall look forward to more of the way that she makes music out of sound. Revd. Richard Mapplebeckpalmer, The Abbey, Martinez, CA, USA.
