The piece Bradnor Hill became music in memory of David Bedford as I composed and played it. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Jan. 08 2012, 06:08 Yes I like it too. Meditative - calming - soothing - wise - healing - magical - hopeful... Mike was very lucky to have had someone like David Bedford for a mentor. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

I think you've also captured something of the atmosphere on Bradnor too.   I was hoping to walk on the hill myself this weekend but unfortunately didn't make it. -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

Sweep Group: Members Posts: 61 Joined: Sep. 2011 Posted: Jan. 08 2012, 12:53 Thanks. I'm glad it seems to be coming over right. The impression of Bradnor Hill was a late Summer one, the last day of September this year, which was unusually warm. It'll be interesting to see what it's like at different times of year. David Bedford died a day or so later. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

No wonder Mike chose to live there. Must have been bloody cold in that house though! I took these vids and stills last January and early March. Sorry about my amateur attempt at making a video!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDhlopytNJA -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'

I enjoyed that, and I think I'm going to return to it from time to time in the future. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

Had a quick look at your website and listened to a few of the pieces. Liked them a  lot. Some really relaxing sounds! Enjoy your next visit (pilgrimage) to Bradnor.         -------------- ‘Is my team ploughing,    'That I was used to drive   And hear the harness jingle    When I was man alive?'
