The River is Flowing – (Pagan chant, extended, ambient, melodies, harmonies)

I have sung this song in many different contexts since 1990. In this version I mess around with the length and content of each melody/vocal line.

When I was studying music at Edinburgh University, I sang a collection of Pagan songs with some friends on a Sunday night for a while, it was in a cosy little cottage in Roslin, with a fire burning and we all brought a dish to eat, we created some amazing vibes. Moving from singing to percussion and drumming and back again, seamlessly. It was an education in a type of music making that didn’t feature in the academic course.. I was so grateful for these experiences as they widened my knowledge and scope of singing style and improvisation.

These songs were from a book called “Prana Chants”, published by Tony Wrench who was part of a community in Wales.
