Brother 111

Written around the time I interviewed Brian Barritt (author and part of the Beat generation, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs) https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2011/mar/03/brian-barritt-obituary and Flinton Chalk

You can hear the interview on my mixcloud site: https://www.mixcloud.com/georginabrett/the-111-hz-interview-with-brian-barritt-and-flinton-chalk/

I decided to write this track centred around 111 and 222hz..

The track starts with a flute solo then continues with a sound-bed of vocals with oboe improvisations.. at approx 6 minutes the track includes some echoes of the round ‘Frere Jaques’ with a drone underneath. The vocals get ever more abstract, ending in what seems to be vocal versions of bird calls.
