Harmonielehre: III. Meister Eckhardt and Quackie

Jason Weir recently proposed this piece for the Music to Watch Clouds by page.

Laurianne Fiorentino – A Long Smoke

This is an original composition sent in my Laurianne Fiorentino who wrote “Assembled from photos cloud and video files I have taken in New Mexico, USA, and from a plane. The music is an improvisation between Michael Kott (cello) and I (flute), captured impromptu in Nashville. I’d love to hear your comments!”

Kym “Bid” Bidstrup – Sunlight on Water

An original piece by Kym “Bid” Bidstrup who says it inspired by the exquisite duck pond in Barnes, London, UK, a magnificent place to spend time lost or found – or both – in thought.
This is the Extended Version.
In this version you might hear some frog noises, an extra ripple or two, a dragonfly that I’m especially proud of creating musically, and, well, whatever duck imaginings you can conjure.

Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now

Suggested by Helen Glazer – Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. The lyrics say it all…

“Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It’s cloud illusions I recall I really don’t know clouds at all”

Winterlight – A Sky Full of Clouds

Cloud Appreciation Society member, Mark Johnson, has recommended this music by Winterlight.

Composer, Tim Ingham, found he could use a laptop late at night once his family had retired for the night to create his own electronic version of the kind of warm, hazy sounds that he had gravitated to since his youth and recorded two singles as Winterlight for UK label Years Without Art.
