Sky High

Sky high or Sky fall? The sky can prompt a wide range of feelings and moods. The brilliance of a clear day - to the sombre tones of an overcast one, is a mirror of the kaleidoscope of human nature.

Music inspired by a stormy sky can sound like turmoil or conflict, using dynamic and dissonant elements to convey tension. On the other hand, a composition inspired by a serene, open sky might sound peaceful and harmonious. A lullaby rather than a hullabaloo..

This week, we explore both sides of the musical sky..
