Alven. (River Song) by Tunesmithy.

Submitted by: Phil S.

The song deals with finding contentment through loss. Sometimes we are close to someone and suddenly they are not there. The river is the means of taking a message of hope . A dream song.
I wanted the song to also convey a visual image. I composed the song and then arranged it for a small chamber group. We recorded it separately in stages in lockdown. I slowly built up the arrangement through multi track studio techniques.I then made the film animation with Matt Sandbrook who in turn created a lovely filmic animation. After the initial sketches I edited the film .. I tend to enjoy writing and creating visual music with film which conveys a message, a feeling and a emotional response from the listener or viewer. The song nevertheless has a positive message of beauty in the world.
