THE SEA TURTLE (from the album Dancing Alone)

This song was written as a lullaby, and is based upon a poem by the great Persian poet, Hafiz, who was born in the city of Shiraz in the year 1315.

Hafiz wrote,

“I am like a magnificent, magical, ocean turtle
Setting aside his dazzling wings of blue
Crawling upon your shores
To bury the divine seed of verse.”

This is one of fourteen songs from the album, DANCING ALONE, inspired by the works of four 12th and 13th century Persian Sufi poets: Rumi, Attar, Hafiz and Iraqi. I made the album for myself with no intention of releasing it, and it sat on a shelf for several years - until now. For anyone interested, it can be downloaded from all the major digital music providers.

The two main instruments you hear in the recording are the Ethervox MIDI theremin made by Robert Moog in the late 1990’s, and the Indian “surbahar”.

Dear Peter, your work is wonderful and I am grateful to be able to hear it.

I am worried, because as of a few weeks ago, I noticed "Dancing Alone" isn't available on any platform anymore.
I didn't have a chance to buy it, but I listened to it almost nonstop on Spotify, it helped me get through the past year.
I truly hope everything is okay & that it becomes available again, because it holds a special place in my heart & I regret not buying it when it was first released.
If you don't intend on putting it back on streaming platforms, I would love to buy it directly from you both digitally & physically, along with any other albums you may have available.
I hope you see this; your music is beautiful & touching, I don't want it lost to time.
Much love to you.
