Music Demos

These are first drafts of songs based on poems by Ravenna Cole from The Alchemy of Grace: Devotional Sonnets after Vittoria Colonna and Without Which Nothing: Love Sonnets (forthcoming from In the Wind Press). We're still learning the software and the hardware, so the audio is not as polished as we'd like, but the main idea for each song is there. All of the music was composed by Ravenna on GarageBand using both available loops and a midi or keyboard player, and she sang/spoke all of the vocals.
