More about the Places In Time project HERE

It would be in the early 90′s Molly and me found ourselves in Derbyshire visiting Matlock Bath (Little Switzerland) and one day we set out to find Crich Tramway Museum. In those days I was not a driver so we got off the train at Whatstandwell and trekked for what seemed like hours. It was a beautiful day and at one point we had climbed so hight that as I looked down at the valley to the railway snaking through the rolling countryside, I felt that I was on the top of the world. Even the air seemed thinner.  For me this track evokes that feeling. Hope you like it. The (And Never Found) added to the title is artistic license. We did indeed find the museum but it took some doing. Mark my words, Peak District travel leaflets are prone to exaggeration. Remarkably I found a guys blog HERE – his pictures tell the same story as my music.

Two years ago I contemplated a music project idea in a restaurant in
Tuscany http://stmedia.org/places-in-time/

I’ve thought of it many times since but have still to lay down the
first track. At the weekend I finally began. I awoke in the
Blackenrigg Hotel to one of my favourite views overlooking Ullswater
in the English Lakes. On listening back once home again I must say the
slow evolving chords do indeed evoke that scene. Lots more needed
before there is a full music collection. I hope the sound of the Duomo
bells tolling in Prato is still in my iPaq.
