Here are links to a little taster from the stunning forthcoming album "Sirius Rising" by Mountfitchett.

Very nice!  Such a talented beaver!!

Thanks for sharing those Eth.  I enjoyed all three, but I believe "For Charlotte" is my favorite.

The Charlotte in question is my friend's 10yo autistic daughter.

There are 3 albums altogether - Sirius Rising, Sirius Ascendent & Sirius Resplendent. I'm still working on the latter 2.

What you really mean is that you can't listen to much of it at a time  [:(]

No Not at all... LOL My system seems to be downloading slow this morning.. I just now finished listening to Lilith and I liked it.. I like th e little chiming at the start and how it evolved and moved into the rhythm with all the instruments.. very cool. I like the end as a if i was hearing a wind storm fading out and moving past.. I liked it! It was very cool...

Close.

There is a train of mystical thought that Lilith was Adam's first wife & that it was she who appeared as the serpent to tempt eve. God laid a curse on her that she would suffer in childbirth and that all her children would die.

The ending is meant to represent their spirits howling on the wind.

(What a charming subject for a piece of music! lol)

That is very interesting as all I could think of was the wind blowing through and hearing it pass by..as if a turbulent storm had passed through and the last of the wind was stirring in remembrance of the storm... its very good.. I like music that is like that and the subject matter although I did not know that about your song, was great and fits exactly how the music felt. It was charming..

Charlotte was sweet and warm and curious almost! a feeling of closeness and serenity came with the music. Touching mellow sound. Intense but at the same time quiet and melancholy! Happy though! The beat seemed up like an outer spirit.. and sweet like an inner peace.. Very nice.. I like it  a lot. I cannot choose a favorite they were all three very good doc! Very nice!

Thank you. I may post some more later. They're on the other PC so I'd have to fire that 1 up, transfer them to my external hard drive, and then post them.

The ones I've already posted I had on CD.

The Charlotte in question is my friend's 10yo autistic daughter.

Has she listened to it?  

I have a friend who has a 10 yo daughter with Aspergers.  I've developed quite an affinity for her, possibly because her mother is VERY impatient & short with her.  I think she's beautiful and refreshing...anyway, my point is that I'm thinking she would love all 3 of your songs.

Charlotte is profoundly autistic. She has no speech at all. But she is an absolute treasure.

Oh yes, she certainly has got a lot of spirit. And her tantrums are a work of art!

Karen, I meant a link between Sirius's Rising and Doc'S music, not electronic links to listen!

He's an amazing man. And despite the impression that track may convey, I have the utmost respect for him.
