The I Am Blues

Just a quick note. Some of you may remember a poem I wrote a few years ago called I Am. Apparently it's just been turned into a song.

I didn't know anything about it and only recently stumbled across it via Google; I had licensed it under a creative commons licence and it looks like someone liked it enough to turn it into a kind of song/audio reading on ccMixter.

It's actually two samples; an a cappella reading of the poem by Togora and then a remix with music added by Syenta. I think it's excellent, particularly for what was probably just a quick project, and I really like the bluesy feel to it; suits the poem perfectly.

I've embedded it below if anyone wants to listen and the original poem is available here. My thanks to Togora and Syenta for their work; I'm honoured that they liked my poem enough to reinterpret it. Makes me want to write a proper song. ;)
