The chapter sets the scene as the protagonist, having left the city at the end of day, muses about the deceased infant while getting ready for a lonely night of mourning in nature.<br /> <br /> The music strides forward as the protagonist transitions from a city dweller frame of mind to an introspective state, all the while advancing deeper into the wilderness. As the piece concludes, memories give way to reflection as the griever becomes enthralled by the surroundings and the starry skies.<br /> <br /> At its origin, back in July 2017, the composition was intended as an experimental research and development exercise, with the aim of reaching new creative spaces.<br /> <br /> The composition blends stylistic elements borrowed from many genres ranging from urban to progressive. The music pulses to the beat of electronic and acoustic drum sounds, and is augmented by excerpts of poetry readings.<br /> <br /> This is a video for the single version of the piece. Hopefully, when the recording of the whole of « Written In The Stars » is complete, and as means and resources allow, a proper conceptual video, or more likely a short film, will be released.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the new music !<br /> <br /> §§§<br /> <br /> *** attributions ***<br /> <br /> a list of the media files used in the making of this video is available here :<br /> <a href="https://poligraf.tumblr.com/post/610963848609120256/stillborn-attributions">https://poligraf.tumblr.com/post/610963848609120256/stillborn-attributions</a><br /> <br /> §§§<br /> <br /> *** download link ***<br /> <a href="https://poligraf.bandcamp.com/track/stillborn">https://poligraf.bandcamp.com/track/stillborn</a><br /> <br /> *** instantly get everything i make via the Monthly Release Club ***<br /> <a href="https://poligraf.bandcamp.com/monthly-release-club">https://poligraf.bandcamp.com/monthly-release-club</a><br /> <br /> &lt;3 thank you for your support &lt;3 Rising From The Ashes tag:peaceformeandtheworld.ning.com,2020-01-29:5143044:Video:281408 2020-01-29T21:29:59.304Z Christopher Stewart https://peaceformeandtheworld.ning.com/profile/ChristopherStewart <a href="https://peaceformeandtheworld.ning.com/video/rising-from-the-ashes"><br /> <img alt="Thumbnail" height="180" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3839465477?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240"></img><br /> </a> <br></br>a restless instrumental that evolved from an unusual chord progression i stumbled upon while noodling on the nylon guitar.<br></br> it evokes the indomitable loving energy that animates all that is alive, and which seemingly never stops surging and thriving onward even when the unthinkable happens and demise appears unavoidable.<br></br> the artwork was inspired by photographs of… <a href="https://peaceformeandtheworld.ning.com/video/rising-from-the-ashes"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3839465477?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=180" width="240" height="180" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />a restless instrumental that evolved from an unusual chord progression i stumbled upon while noodling on the nylon guitar.<br /> it evokes the indomitable loving energy that animates all that is alive, and which seemingly never stops surging and thriving onward even when the unthinkable happens and demise appears unavoidable.<br /> the artwork was inspired by photographs of signs of life returning after the Australian bushfires.<br /> no picks were used during the making of this recording.
