Music | Todd McHatton

Thought I’d share a rough demo from the concept album I’ve been working on for some time now. I love this project so much – it’s like I never want it to end so I just keep doing little tiny bits at a time. We’ve got stacks of sketch and water color pads piled around here with concept art, a complete set of story boards, a rough (some of it finished) large format picture book, various flash animations, and of course… loads of music. Eventually I’ll assemble it into it’s final glorious production. I’d love to have the assistance of some brilliant animator out there in bringing this story to life. If you know someone please pass this along.
In the meantime…

You know what…? It’s time for a brand new record!
Stay tuned – I’ll post the big announcement video right here – very soon.

For Tea Birds In The Vast Nest
Mrs Tasket unwraps the basket she packed for tea birds in the vast nest – Shining silver, silken lace – And porcelain pots – And seeded cakes – Some things she borrows – Some things she bakes – Some things she asks for – Some things she takes – For tea birds in the vast nest – Good things will fall upon those who wait as Mrs Tasket will kindly state – For tea birds in the vast nest – On winding ladders up she takes her box of saucers, cups, and plates – Her set may chip but never break – She’s always early – Never late – For tea birds in the vast nest – Oh fortune smiles for ten aisles of four birds each in forty styles – In Forties styles – In different styles – When the day is done each wing she shakes – Giving all the birdies a heart felt thanks – Call it destiny or fate – Just make a place to celebrate for tea birds in the vastness

It’s a brand new song! Sit back with a nice cup of tea, your favorite birdies, and enjoy.
