gutted by music

17/1/2020

We are doing a collab. My piano audio file returns via email with her accompanying viola. I double click the file. I'm done for.

I sit in front of my computer monitor. My head goes down in my hands and the tears flow. I bury my head in woven arms. My face is wet with tears, I'm keening, sobbing. I can't stop. I play the piece again and again. I can't get enough.

It's the viola. Beautifully, hauntingly played, mesmerising. The notes reach down inside my soul, my body, my spirit, my entire humanness and pull at the guts of me. It soars, swoops, dives; dives to the very depths, its dark night chords pulling and pushing; it goes up an entire key from the depths and reaches for the sky. I'm flying and dipping with it.

And my piano, haunting and triumphant it carries the viola and the viola carries me. I am carried away. Hurting, loving, crying, abandoned, restored, lifted, dropped.

Later in bed I plug in earphones and listen again. Put my tablet away and sleep on a bed of notes.

"Stuff that seems to come out of nowhere bam can be so confronting, yet means so much."

I said to her.

introducing my musician son, JEREMY HUNTER

Jeremy Hunter is a songwriter and producer from Brisbane, Australia, who just happens to be my son. This promo video has excerpts of his current weekly podcasts, original songs and covers. It was my idea to promote his channel on youtube and because I love his music. I am the editor of this video.

He has formed bands, performed since teen years, his songs played on radio, discovered by TripleJ Unearthed, travelled to the UK with his music, a full history of musical endeavour.

Many of his songs are melancholy yet beautiful ruminations on love, loss, dreams and death which spring from personal experience. He strives to retain a tenderness in his music whilst exploring emotionally complex territory.

Jeremy both plays and produces entirely on his own, showcasing both his production skills and talents as a multi-instrumentalist. The results are lush layered walls of piano, guitar and harmonies that swell and subside, all the while supporting his ardent vocal style.

Mitchell Anderson and Steve Clisby sing Walking In Memphis

They were fantastic, spine-tingling, on The Voice Australia on Tuesday night. They brought down the house when they took to their duelling pianos! And they both got through. Seal took Mitchell through and Delta Goodrem used her only save on Steve.

Mitch Thompson - "love the way you lie"

Mitch lost out in The Voice but what a voice. Personally I reckon Fatai should have been out and Mitch through. She's a bit contrived but he's a natural. But them's the breaks. You decide! A lot of truth in the words of this song.

He's an all round nice guy. Check out his youtube channel: mitchthompsonmusic
