Patrick Glynn’s Past Beginnings could be “an abstract creation story for a non-existent culture”, with his songs providing the soundtrack of Fourth World folk. A cinematic chamber-folk journey bathed in soft light, composed as an instrumental album with the intention of creating a unique experience for each listener.

A Theory of the tides

In A Theory of the Tides, the music of the spheres bears continual influence on the undulating forms of a blue world below. Grounded by an ostinato bass line, guitar swells rise and fall, following the path of least resistance while reflecting the shimmering melody above. Variation is as perpetual and languid as the movements of the night sky. Slide guitar provides a counter melody and new perspective to observe our surroundings while the glow of soft synths offer a glimpse of the infinite beyond our senses.

A contemplative Fourth World processional. Ambient electric guitar emulates a pump organ as it states the minimal framework of melody and harmony. Moments of clarity are glimpsed through droning strings; at once anchored by double bass and lifted by violins. Continual variation culminates in a moment of brief transcendence when the ensemble is joined by a chorus of guitars.
