about

Immersion Composition Society Session Sunday 26 April, 2020

First composition of the day.

Part of my ‘CITIES’ series; homages for places I’ve lived in the past. Dublin was one of my favorites; I got to live there when I was 16, and since I'm part Irish it was mostly a dream come true. The chords/melody are loosely based on the number of infected and dead measured in Ireland on the day I recorded the song. (21,787/1,359).

lyrics

There once was a chemist from Dublin
Whose consumption of whiskey was troublin'
But the drink being Irish
was sure to kill the virus
So on most days his steps were stumblin’

Whiskey for the heart and
Brandy for the stomach
Warm plaster of Brooklime to cure that pesky cough
that's dry! unproductive! and sometimes fatal!

There once was a virus asleep
Which woke up, found new hosts, and settled deep
When it moved in it was silent
Until the wracking cough was violent
Now its hosts are mostly lying in a heap

This rather astounding record can't really be categorized - musically, it's so full of everything and so original that a short description is impossible. It is superbly played. The words are FANTASTIC and I would have chosen The Butcher as my favourite if the app had allowed me to ;-) Tom Landon

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 14 fans who also own “Dublin (21,787 / 1359)”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
