Hi Mark Lovely composition, really well suited to the images in the video. So sad, the impact we humans are having on the other species who share our planet. Regards, Leon

Hi Leon, I totally agree. The superb book 'The Seabird's Cry' by Adam Nicolson highlights the plight of many of our seabird species that live 'on the edge' of our world. A key theme in his work is that these creatures perceive our world in different dimensions using senses that are lost to us. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. Keep safe Mark

Wow! Very well done. It seems like every song I click on in the forum takes me in totally different direction, musically speaking. This instrumental piece is heavenly, uplifting, airborne and nostalgic, all at the same time. Certainly raised my consciousness about the state of survival of the world's seabird population. This is an inspired act of musical composition, sir, seamlessly orchestrated and transparently mixed, too. I pray these animals will survive the environmental havoc wrought on this planet by a so-called 'dominant' life-form -- us human beings, that is -- who confuse acts of physical destruction of the Earth with the concept of 'progress'.
Your response to the comment by 'Leon1' about your composition intrigued me: "The superb book 'The Seabird's Cry' by Adam Nicolson highlights the plight of many of our seabird species that live 'on the edge' of our world. A key theme in his work is that these creatures perceive our world in different dimensions using senses that are lost to us." That is true, and the reasons for that loss are well-documented by aboriginal indigenous people all over the globe, particularly those tribes/nations of the North American continent, who have oral traditions that tell stories (what we questionably call 'myths') about how 'man' and the animals once lived together peaceably a long, long time ago, spoke each other's languages, and praised the same gods/goddesses, until 'man' got too big for his britches and upset the order of things...

This is simply beautiful! Beautiful chord progressions, beautiful folk-like melodies - and the video, too, is stunning. The entry of the guitar I found great, a nice change of timbre. You also have a great control of pacing yourself in this piece, so nothing happens too quick, too soon. By the ending, I was spellbound. Bravo ... superb job, full stop!

Gosh, thank you so much Ardent for your thoughtful response to this piece. I am extremely grateful for you taking the time to listen and comment. Your interesting remark about the indigenous peoples relationship with other animals got me thinking. I read that in many of the North American cultures, the Great Auk was an important part of their culture - both as a food source and as a symbolic item. Of course, as you noted that was fine when man and such creatures lived alongside and respected each others part in the great cycle/chain/web of living things. The last two pictures in the video are that of the Great Auk and a painting by Conrad Bakker of a replica auk egg which he sculpted and then painted. Just one of the many creatures that we seem to have eradicated from the planet. As you rightly say: 'progress' - it has a lot to answer for. Thank you once again, Mark

Hi Musician17, really kind of you to comment on this piece. I’m glad you picked up on the ‘entry of the guitar’. I got lucky with that little phrase that BIAB (ELEC GUITAR: 512 Solo Dire Ev) threw up and used it as a link phrase earlier in the piece which helped to make it feel part of the overall piece. Extremely generous praise – thank you again, I really appreciate a considered listen. Mark
