Meltwater

Story Behind The Song

Inspired in 2012 by some of the natural floods that seem to be more frequent in the UK but used as a metaphor against the backdrop of the human tide of protest against injustice. The idea was to demonstrate the reflection of the gentle tranquility of slowly melting water at one end (one person) to the massive, unstoppable power that is achieved when just one droplet is joined by millions.

Repetitive phrase gradually introduces more and more instruments as strength of momentum gathers: Bass guitar, drums, additional synthesised sounds, glockenspiel / chimes, vox, flute, strings, additional piano accompaniment, piccolo, timpani, tuba, horns, trombone, trumpet, cymbal, voices
