Changing Tides Changing Tides was inspired by my travels in Cornwall, England and spending my summer holidays on the south coast of Cornwall. Those long summer days relaxing on the beach, walks along the harbour side watching the boats come and go with the tide. Porthleven is my favourite and I have very fond memories of this quaint harbour town. It was here that I started to think about a story of the many different aspects of life by the sea. The changing nature of the sea and weather ranging from those beautiful summer days with a gentle breeze and calm seas to raging gale force winds and huge waves battering the shoreline.
I remember walking along a beautiful beach on a gloriously warm and sunny evening, seeing the damage left by the 2014 winter storms. Huge rocks had been swept onshore and trees that had stood for many years, uprooted or washed away. So my album, Changing Tides, takes us on a journey of life by the sea. The music of Changing Tides is a fusion of electronic sounds, drums, orchestral instruments and percussion. Not in all the same track but across the album to varying degrees depending on whether a particular track needs a fusion of different types of sound. Here are the tracks: 1. On the Beach 2. Harbourside 3. Darkening Skies 4. The Storm 5. Out at Sea 6. The Rescue 7. Homeward Bound 8. Sunset Reflections 9. Party on the Beach In future blogs, I’ll be writing about each track and the story behind the music. Stay tuned.
