The Burden
The Burden is an EP in the sense that Ferrero Rocher is chocolate. Finely crafted bits have been put together in such a way that taking a bite should give you a variety of sensations, most of them pleasurable.
I've written a poem and four pieces of music, although "written" is a loosely applied word in this case. The pieces of music helped to shape the poem, and the poem helped to influence the music. Some bits were entirely improvised (both the music and the text) and then left that way. Others were worked on over a period of time to make them the best they could be for now.
You can listen to a sample of the EP (the final track in full) on my Facebook Page and if you like, the poem is available as one of the items on the Poorly Prepared Poet blog.
If you want your own copy, please buy one right here. You need only hit the button below to purchase a .zip archive of all four tracks and the poem. This for only £4.00 and Paypal does the rest. [Update: well I thought it would... proceed with purchase as usual and I will e-mail you the link as soon as I receive the notification. Many thanks, AC]
