The CD started off with Brent Harpur's poetry. We wanted to do something a little unusual and exciting with the poetry, so Twenty Two wrote some backing music for each poem. This was quite a difficult job as the poems vary in subject quite dramatically. They range from the hilariously funny to the tender sweet about love / relationships. Other poems confront the subjects of life/death/loss and have a certain intensity that the music accentuates. The music creates a cohesive soundscape behind the poetry which brings out the emotion to its fullest extent and adds a richer dimension to the spoken word. The musical genres covered on the CD range from ambient electronica / acoustic piano in the styles of Tangerine Dream / Moby / Debussy to Reggae beats behind the faster moving poems. The CD finishes off with some acoustic blues guitar and a sweet Hendrix-like (a la 'Little wing') piece behind the 'Fragile' story. The exciting thing about the CD is that there are so many twists and turns, both poetically and musically that you can listen to it 100 times and still hear something new.
