  • In some other


    Here’s a piece I wrote about a Utopian place. Rolling fields, no sense of time, warmth and happy solitude… Solo violin by the very excellent Elspeth Hanson.
    I would say it’s ambient, but it’s got too many melodic lines. It’s a bit celtic, but it’s not folk. Looking for a good title – any ideas?

  • Music for a new Utopia

    Music for a new Utopia

    Suspension by Parke Harrison

    Whilst our politicians in the UK struggle to create a government, I started thinking an ideal society.

    Music can sometimes describe the impossible. I love the escapist potential of music and sound design, and my constant struggle is to write pieces that act as soundscapes to imaginary places. This piece is called ‘If there is a Heaven’.[soundcloud url=”http://soundcloud.com/radiomovies/if-there-is-a-heaven” params=”show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=1b5a7a” width=”100%” height=”81″ ]

    Stumble It!
    I play music for the sense of solace, and sometimes the texture of a sound is enough to make you feel everything could be ok.

    Layers of sound can define an architectural place in your head through suggestion and perception. The bass note in this piece is more of a feeling than a real note – try and listen with headphones if you get the chance.

    If you like this kind of thing then try The Glass Cathedral, or The Diver in the Crypt… they’re coming from a similar place!

    Would love to know what you think. If you like this try these:
