About Me |
|
| 'Im Rigil, a little solo music maker from a small village called wootton. I lived in Bedfordshire (UK) for eighteen years, and now switch between two places. I study at Keele University and live in stoke on trent when im studying. I make music to find some sort of common ground. Switching between two places, its hard to define whats home. Music however doesnt change, its a something that remains the same wherever the location.'
'I never really used to use my voice when it came to my music. Im not overly confident with it which is why its kinda breathy and hushed. On the space there is only one vocal track (Free to Roam). Previously I only had a small fourteen quid microphone, so the quality isnt beautiful. I have recently been in the studio to record a non live version of 'Minefields', 'Full Circle', and a better quality version of 'Free to Roam'. Exciting times...' 'I use music as a form escapism. You can create your own little weird world and get lost within it. I like the thought of other people hearing the tracks, its like im offering them a seat into that world that summed up exactly how I felt at one particular moment in my life.' Below are also a few banners that lovely friends of Rigil have created. Feel free to add them to your space.

I hope we come full circle I hope we come full circle I hope we come full circle My fingers are crossed We’ll see each other again soon With new stories and anecdotes Of our travels and time apart Who did you meet? What did they say? Sleeping under the stars The support of strangers I see your tracks in the snow Not far ahead of me Were on are way back to where this started I gather pace I hope we come full circle I hope we come full circle I hope we come full circle I hope we come full circle Rigil: Free To Roam Lyrics: It takes you hours to get in But soon you are warm Your feet sink down in the sand Keep moving forward It wraps around you like a blanket It moves on its own It’s in complete control of you You’ve been here before, and soon You sway with it, don’t try to fight it, don’t try to fight it You sway with it, It takes you under, you cant breathe. Shut your eyes Close your mouth Don’t try to listen Shut your eyes Close your mouth Move with the Current You’ve been under longer than Than you can remember You could now go on land now But you turn down the offer You belong here with us now In the sea like a creature Slits form you neck like gills And skin be-tween fingers You sway with it, don’t try to fight it, don’t try to fight it You sway with it, It takes you under, you cant breathe. Undiscovered, Unknown, and free to roam Undiscovered, Unknown, and free to roam Undiscovered, Unknown, and free to roam free to roam, free to roam, free to roam, free to roam.
