Sound of London Collective
MARIA: 1920's Paris - it started as an idea for a French detective film theme.
BAMBOO: Set in a quasi-African musical landscape where the strings and vocals act as bright colours, accentuating the chord changes.
ISABELLA: Perhaps the most classical sounding, it is led by a solo piano rather like that of a concerto.
PORTHMINSTER: A place of nostalgia and memories - a samba with a slow moving melody over a rhythmic accompaniment, ending with a gliding 'Birdland' style.
SAUDADE DE MAECENAS: A tribute to the wonderful Villa Maecenas in Ibiza where the band stayed, wrote and performed.
MONTECITO: It takes the form of a 6/8 Afro-Cuban jam. The subject of the piece is the sun drenched landscape of Santa Barbara, California.
