An uptempo electroacoustic instrumental tune composed & performed by Kitty Allen on prepared harp, flutes, melodica, keyboard & laptop. Inspired by a visit to the D-Day beaches of Normandy, France. The tune's photo (above) illustrates a uniformed model of a U.S. soldier seen on display within the Utah Beach Museum.

"The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944 brought together the land, air & sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest invasion force in human history. The operation, given the codename, OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France."

Quoted from an online document within the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum & Boyhood Home.

Uptempo 6/8 dance tune composed & performed by Kitty Allen on melodica, harmonica, slide whistle, pedal harp, flutes, analog synthesizer, keyboard & laptop.

Over five minutes of lighthearted instrumental silliness. If you're seeking a serious contribution to new music, with an element of sophistication, this number is probably not for you. If, on the other hand, you appreciate an occasional escape into unpredictable elements of melodically interwoven & slightly bombastic sound clips, you may be nicely entertained. Whatever your reason for listening, please enjoy!

Available on Spotify, Pandora Plus & in most digital music stores.

Contemporary instrumental mellow blues tune composed & performed by Kitty Allen on harp, bass & C flutes, melodica, slide whistle, analog synthesizer, keyboard, & laptop. 

Inspired by a recent winter respite to Miami, Florida's South Beach. While the beach & ocean proved reliably relaxing, therapeutic, & eclectic, the hotel's poolside courtyard offered unexpected overhead entertainment. In addition to the occasional passing pelican, the courtyard palm trees were  home to clusters of monk parakeets. These fluorescent green inhabitants regularly serenaded guests throughout each day while flying overhead in groups  to deposit twigs & other miscellaneous building materials into their apartment-like nests.
