Field Songs, 12 poems for two voices.(HD)

The poem HOUSE posted a while back is a prelude to this sequence of poems, but the presentation of that piece was not exactly what I wanted. I had to wait until I caught up with technology before I could record this in the way I had imagined it. Watch in HD and listen with head-phones for the full effect.
Two parallel voices occupy the same space but 40 years apart.

Amazing, wonderful, touching. You even let the cow moo at exacty the same time as you mentioned it in the poem! And it is really fascinating that all the things you mentioned in your poem (in your youth) are realised in your present life. Cherish that!

@ourDC888 Actually, one voice is that of the previous owner of our house, the man who built it. I wanted to see if there was any common ground between myself ( a towny) and a man from the country and where those common experiences occur. I had a lot of fun putting this together but it was really hard to get the cow moo at the right place. Cows have no sense of timing!

This is such a fascinating experiment. It works well. Good for you! Reminds me of the lost art of Choral Speaking. Doing poems with an orchestra of voices - solo voices, bass, alto and different vocal textures. Can be wonderful. Do keep this part of your output going. It is so refreshing. Best, F.

@Caspar33 Thanks Fred, I needed to wait until I caught up with my skill in using technology in order to create this one, partially inspired by Peter Greenaway's film Prospero's Books. Glad you liked it.

What fascination and beauty combined with such perfection in verse is all I can say!!

@pnm1941 Thank you, you said it all.

An interesting temporal and spatial experiement which shows how technology can offer a new dimension to the poetic experience. Thanks Andrew for your continuing good work.
