Thank you in advance for supporting my music and “hand-made” music or any kind when produced by independent musicians such as those supported by the bandcamp platform
My musical story, The Tarot Canticles, is an album with music and lyrics. It’s an introduction to the evocative archetypes of the Tarot deck.
With the book you can follow along with
Part 1/Act 1 - Daytime and the 56 cards of the Lesser Arcana, the 4 Suit - Wands, Cups, Swords and Coins -and their corresponding elements - and
Part 2/Act 2 - Nightime - time of mystery and the 22 cards of the Major Arcana - The Moon, The Fool, The Lovers, The Tower, Death, and The World.
For me, music alone often tells a story, but The Tarot Canticles enticed me into going further by writing lyrics and narration. This album also features flute and oboe (husband Colin) bass, guitar and touch guitar (son Corin Gatwood) along with vintage keyboards, like the harmonium, Rhodes electric piano, soprano and alto recorder, kazoo, rainstick and kalimba. Painstakingly recorded for sonic detail in Italy at Ritmo e Blu Studio.
