#4/10 singles out today! 'Hommage'
The lyrics of Cecilie Anna’s “Hommage” portrays the loneliness she has experienced through years of writing songs for artists’ voices living far away. Cecilie Anna views their beautiful voices as meteors landing in her garden. She makes songs from the pieces in the hope that they can rise into the sky and become stars of their own. Perhaps one day the owners of the voices will see it from where they are.
The arrangement consists of one jingle bell 'ding' slowed down heavily, multiplied and placed manually one by one. It took Cecilie Anna almost three months, using only her perfect pitch as a holding point.
