CALIBAN’S ISLAND …

… is the new CHRONOMETER collection and it will be available for streaming and download from Spotify, iTunes and other outlets by the end of May.  However, it is already available from the shop, where you may also hear some excerpts..

Written together with Michael Hinton, and produced as ever by John Mercer, I am very happy indeed with this album.  It represents an exciting development for CHRONOMETER in its use of rock, jazz, world and new age influences, together with the usual electro-acoustic and contemporary concert elements.

The cover is another stunning image from Riverrun Records.  The music of the six movements of the Suite all come from Caliban’s speech in Act 3, Scene 2 of THE TEMPEST:

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.
