On 2nd February, I overheard a mother saying to her children: 'the daffodils are out, spring is on its way'. Around her voice, the birds were singing, fledgling and eager, kids were heading home from school and it was just a deeply wholesome scene. So i wrote this little piece. Another Soundaub, all the percussion is me trying to make sounds of winter and spring by hitting things and shaking things etc. and in the background is the recording i made that day. The musical elements evolved from a combination of Bach and Glass.

I hope you enjoy this and it brings a bit of spring, even in the depths of winter. Jx
