‘Safe Harbour’, written in November, 2010, is the first poem that I have recorded to SoundCloud. I have been meaning to experiment with this for some considerable time but I confess I have been apprehensive about using a technology hitherto unknown. As it has turned out, it really couldn’t have been easier and I have to say I am more than pleased with these very early results. I am also confident that a little more practice will see an improvement in the quality of the recording. My grateful thanks go to Aaron Kent who gave advice and inspired by his example. All I need to do is work out how to get the SoundCloud recordings up on here. As you can probably tell, I am not a natural at this. Still, onward and upward.
