Hi all. I'm afraid I'm only an occasional poster on this site. I principally use BIAB these days for creating music for theatre productions. I'm presently working on composing songs and incidental pieces for a new large outdoor production of Alice In Wonderland. This is a demo of the song which may start the show off, with Alice (not me!) singing it. All comments gladly welcomed! https://soundcloud.com/phil-babylon/world-of-wonderThe lyric: All my life I've longed to be Somewhere where adventure Waits round every corner for me And every night In my dreams I see A lovely world of wonder Where my heart always longs to be What's the use of books That just have words But don't have pictures? They don't hold much interest for me What I want Are books that help me see The lovely world of wonder Where my heart always longs to be It may be savage and strange, Wild and untamed But I wouldn't be scared Once I was there 'Cos all my life I've longed to be Somewhere where adventure Waits round every corner for me And every night In my dreams I see The lovely world of wonder Where my heart always longs to be The lovely world of wonder Where my heart always longs to be Copyright Phil Sculthorpe 2019

Phil,
Nice composition and singing! Everything sits well and very balanced to my ears. Would be fun to listen to "Alice" sing it. Please re-post when/if you will have it.
P.S. Alice In Wonderland was one of my favorite novels in younger years. Only in my twenties I discovered that Lewis Carroll was also a brilliant photographer.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

"What's the use of books That just have words But don't have pictures?"
What a great line. Love the words pictures you paint Phil. Really enjoyed the melody and fine production.
looking forward to hearing more from you. Rob

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass are some of my all-time favourite books. This was definitely a very interesting take on Alice's story. I've always associated those stories with darker (but still whimsical) elements with the human psyche, so it was neat to hear a more upbeat version of Alice's story, even if it was filled with wanderlust.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Ember

Sounds like it going to be a good start for the show...
I assume your other entries on SoundCloud are also part of the production...
It sounds like it will be an interesting play to see...
Since this forum consists of international members...
Who will be the lucky ones to get the chance to see this theatrical production of Alice In Wonderland?

Hi Jim...
The production is in the UK. In the North East. The production company takes over the grounds of a large 19th century house (that is now a museum) and builds an outdoor sound stage every summer. Yes, the other compositions on the Soundcloud page are bits and pieces in development for the show. As things stand most items will be sung live to backing tracks, though we're working on doing some stuff totally live or, if necessary, partly pre-recorded. Trying to work out the technicals at the moment. Most of our actors aren't great with head mikes but - since they're a Shakespeare-based company - they do know how to project in the open air!
