Sky High

Sky high or Sky fall?

The sky can prompt a wide range of feelings and moods. The brilliance of a clear day - to the sombre tones of an overcast one, is a mirror of the kaleidoscope of human nature.

Music inspired by a stormy sky can sound like turmoil or conflict, using dynamic and dissonant elements to convey tension. On the other hand, a composition inspired by a serene, open sky might sound peaceful and harmonious. A lullaby rather than a hullabaloo..

This week, we explore both sides of the musical sky..

Resolution

New Year's Eve is a symbolic transition from the old to the new.

It's a time to leave behind the challenges of the previous year and approach the future with resolution – or even several resolutions.

New Year's Eve encourages us to set goals for the year ahead. To make next year better than last.

As 2023 trickles away, we can pause for a moment and reflect on the successes and failures –celebrating, with resolution, that we are still here, with another year ahead, full of possibilities.
