It’s been a while since I shared any music. And hey—it’s Friday, so why not?
Last week I stumbled upon Robin Williamson‘s “The Four Points Are Thus Beheld,” a setting of William Blake’s poetry to “foreboding flute, string and pipe drones with eruptions of squealing tenor saxophone to punctuate tome-like tales of lost Elysian lands”—according to this old review in Dusted magazine, anyway.
Don’t let that frighten you, though. It’s a pretty remarkable piece of songwriting.
