Today, the 21st of June, is World Music Day. Most often it falls on Midsummer Day, but Summer Solstice came early this year: less than an hour before midnight\u2026 and that is enough to make it so that\u00a0 yesterday<\/em> was Midsummer Day.<\/p>\n

1985 was special for me. It had been designated European Year Of Music, and I was privileged to represent Cork City with an event. I have made a point of doing little musical meditations every year for both Solstices since then.<\/p>\n

This year I composed some music using only my Cork City sounds and those brass chimes which seem to insert themselves into almost everything I do.<\/p>\n

Sunrise In The Glade<\/a> – about 4 1\/2 minutes long, 4.3 MB in the iTunes \/ iPod AAC \/ .m4a format, opens in a new window. I re-used the drone build-up from Fluid Mechanics<\/a> and added two more layers. It now has 12 layers of solid sound by the time it reaches the climax.<\/p>\n

Enjoy, and feel free to remix it, cut it up, mangle it, as long as you do it within the rules laid out in the Disclaimer<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
