Would you like to see: the cover and title for the brand new track that I am releasing in 6 days time?
Brace yourself.
OK, Ready?… ;-)
(You get bonus points if you can work out what the original photograph was of.)
‘Invocation’ will be the very first track that I am releasing from: ‘The Sketches Project’.
It was written and performed almost exclusively with: Acoustic Cello, and Voice. It is beautiful. It is light-filled. It is sensual, and it is Thoroughly Gorgeous. The last movement sounds like: victory and joy dancing in sunlight. ;-)
I honestly cannot wait to hear what you think of it.
Why is it called: ‘Invocation’? How did it come into being? And what does it actually sound like? Good questions, one and all. These, and Many More Things shall be Revealed before the Day of Release.
In fact, in just a few days time on this very blog you will be able to preview a small clip of the actual finished piece. ;-) I will also be revealing: the story behind the track itself, why it was named ‘Invocation’ and, as if that wasn’t enough, there may also be some video of me in the studio…
Until then, what did you think of the title and the cover? Love it? Hate it? Think it spells ‘Satan’ backwards? (It totally doesn’t). Whatever your thoughts I’d love to hear them. Let rip in the comments box below.
See you in a few days. ;-)
My name is James Radcliffe and I am a 100% audience supported independent artist. If you like what I do (and can afford it) then please consider buying some of my music. Each purchase really makes a big difference to me and 10% of every sale goes to a charity which: houses, feeds, clothes, and educates orphaned children in Nepal.
Also, every month I send out a newsletter packed with Interesting and Exclusive Things. If you sign up today you’ll also get 3 FREE tracks of my music as a welcome gift.
And lastly, if you’d like to find out what I’m up to on a more day-to-day basis then here is my brain on Twitter:
I’m a bit late to the party, but I just had to drop in and say that I absolutely LOVE the cover & title – they’re gorgeous! (Also, I do believe the image is of the bridge of a cello, no?)

Thankyou so much ;-)
You are totally right about the picture. Well done! If you look at the blog after this one, you can see some of the CRAZY AWESOME guesses people were making. ;-)
Don’t worry about lateness, there is still (apparently) 23 hours to go.
