Description
Description of the atmosphere just as a storm is about to break.
The unsettling harmonies, with the guitar's lowest string tuned down a semitone and the resultant strangeness of the progression of harmonics, are very effective.
This was written when my sister, the poet, and I, the composer, were quite young....
The sound sample is my own performance
