bitsixteen recently recorded and produced two hour-long CDs for Dublin-based yoga intructor, Helen Sherlock. Helen put a huge amount of effort into writing a script that would reflect the yoga classes she gives in person. We spent several recording and post-production sessions re-taking lines, adjusting timings, and arranging music until Helen felt that the recordings were just right. The result is a set of CDs that anyone wishing to begin practising yoga can play in their own home, or take with them on their travels. Helen’s years of experience ensure an excellent yoga workout. You can listen to some samples below, or if you want more information, check out Helen’s website.
Note: to play these samples, right-click each one and choose ‘Save Link As’ (or the equivalent option in your browser).

bitsixteen has just completed a new video (below) for Scottish singer/songwriter, James Grant. The track is taken from his 2002 album, I Shot the Albatross, which hosts some of the best 20th century poetry, cradled in some of the most sympathetic and moving music. Song is a poem by William Soutar (1848 – 1943) and here, James is arguably at his most sensitive, recreating the style and quality of an old ballad on a scratchy gramophone record. Bitsixteen trawled through hundreds of photographs on Flickr’s Commons archive in order to identify a small selection that would do justice to both Soutar’s and James Grant’s work.
