Our film of Lori Laitman's "Sarong Song" has been collecting quite a few laurels! @kittywhately and @SimonLepper performing this beautiful song with illustrations by @ianarchiebeck, directed by @PangolinTeatime's Jeremy Hamway-Bidgood. Watch it at youtu.be/hDWBcvC1GgM

Premiere today of Sarong Song by Lori Laitman. 6pm BST youtu.be/hDWBcvC1GgM @Vocalcomposer @kittywhately @SimonLepper @ianarchiebeck

This song seizes on the moment Dave from Colorado met Chrissy from Tasmania — and her mesmerizing effect on him, which later resulted in their marriage and move to Tasmania. "I came from an underworld of snow, She from a windy dune."

Sarong Song is from The Soul Fox, a cycle composed in 2013 by Lori Laitman (@Vocalcomposer) to a poem by David Mason, her frequent collaborator. In it she sets Mason’s autobiographical poems to create a narrative about the upheaval in his life as his marriage dissolved.

Join us on Saturday for the YouTube premiere of our new film "Sarong Song" by Lori Laitman. A captivating performance by @kittywhately and @SimonLepper gorgeously illustrated by @ianarchiebeck. Premiere link: youtu.be/hDWBcvC1GgM Subscribe for updates: youtube.com/PositiveNoteFilm…
