Snowdrop....
I'm an Independent musician/composer/singer-songwriter based in the U.K - - the album 'Snowdrop' that's for sale here was first released in 2004 on Powderkeg Records.

myspace is my main portal with fans and listeners (www.myspace.com/chloemarch) and I've been posting new material there quite frequently as I'm currently writing and producing a new album. Although I always start with the piano, as that's my main instrument, I've been experimenting more and more with vocals being at the heart and starting point of the song - I feel a very strong connection to the english landscape and to history and myth and that's what's been emerging on this new album. For example, there's a song I've just finished called 'Lollen' - my lament for Anne Boleyn as sung by imaginary women rowing down the Thames - it's all interweaving vocal lines, with a melody trying to break through - I wanted it to sound like an old song that already existed. Then there are more fully scored, big, harmonically lush songs that are more in the vein of the song 'the fisherman's house' on the 'Snowdrop' album.

This new album is inspired by water in all it's forms and should be ready for release by Spring 2008 - release dates and more info all on myspace and my website www.chloemarch.co.uk Anyway - I hope you enjoy 'Snowdrop'

:* snow kiss
I wrote 'Snow Kiss' a few weeks ago when I was dreamily longing for that kind of frost, ice and sparkling snow that we used to get before global warming ~ you know, when the ice used to be inches thick on the inside of the windows in the morning and you could use icicles as a great big set of bell chimes like Pingu... I thought perhaps it was just going to rain drably for a few months before spring - but then, when the song was finished this week, there was the frost - so beautiful and reassuring....I was on the train on one of those really frosty days, watching the landscape go by, with the sun shining that low slanting light and the shadowy muddy corners of the fields still sharp with ice. I love that.

Once when it was very wintry one night, my dad took us all to a field where the flood water had frozen over and we played ice hockey on it using a shoe polish tin and big sticks.... took some brandy along too and fell around in the freezing starlight..... I really want to do that again one day.....

Anyway, it's basically a romantic offering of a song. I love christmas, it's lights and potent combination of rituals ~ it's a big old paradox going on, for me anyway ~ but I do really love hanging on to the old fantasies that it evokes.....
