Natasha Khan Instagram – Thank you so much to everyone sharing and supporting the first single from my forthcoming record The Dream of Delphi! I wrote this album in California over 2020-2022, and it feels so exciting to finally start sharing these devotional songs with you✨
‘The Dream of Delphi Bonus Extended Strings Version’ is available on streaming. It is how I originally wrote this song, slowly building, like a hymn or incantation, coming in over 6 minutes with amazing strings from Jake Falby (@jakefalby), harp by Mary Lattimore (@maryoverthere) and flutes and horns by Logan Hone (@loganhone), who all contributed to developing this sumptuous sonic world… I am so excited to share this original piece with you, which will also feature on the forthcoming album.
For the shorter single version (which you have all already heard) I commissioned Ben Christophers (@benchristophers) to programme beats, bass and soundscapes for the ending, as I wanted a crescendo, a final burst of rhythm to take it to another place sonically. If you listen carefully you can hear some early recordings of my daughter Delphi saying “mummy, mummy” at the end. Coupled with the sound of a baby’s heartbeat from the womb and birdsong. Ben and I discussed the ending and how it could hopefully convey the power of transformation, the wonder of new life and the dawn of a whole new world for me.
You can pre-order the album vinyl and CD now via the link in my bio 🌀
