Postscript:
This is a cover of "Clearing" from Grouper's Ruins album. I've been fascinated by this song since it came out in 2015 and initially thought of it as a beautiful spur of the moment work recorded on an upright piano and microphone. While being holed up in my sister's apartment in New York during quarantine, I listened to this song more closely and found more of Liz Harris' artistic intention within her performance and production. There were instances where she'd put breaths in between some lines of her verses that could easily be sung in one breath. Elsewhere, I listened to parts where she added a second or third voice to sing at the same time as the main voice but hum/sing a different but similar sounding word. The somber ambience created by this vocal ambiguity and reverberating piano washed over me in its sonic landscape. I tried to keep these thoughtful performance notes in mind for this cover with one of the gentle giants of the Flute family.

Edit: Here is the link for the piano score I was requested to write up:

It's very simplified but have fun learning all the nuances that Grouper employs :) It's a worthwhile learning experience!

Hi thanks! I learned it by ear. I'll try coming up with a generalized piano part! All the little things Liz Harris does (like omit the right hand playing with the singing in one part, for example), I'll leave to your ears.

Great idea, the flute sounds beautiful!!! Perhaps you could have added some reverb to the piano to make it sound even better. Anyways, nice cover.

thanks! I know what you mean regarding reverb, in this electric piano emulating a grand piano, there already is a lot of reverb that I added on to it. A proper upright piano properly mic-ed with even more reverb would sound even better too.

Hi I just finished writing it up! Sorry it wasn't sooner! It's in the description of this video. Just a general idea, the rest of the nuances are for you to figure out! Have fun!

Really good cover but your transcription seems to have an error Bars 4&5 bass clef should be A# and E#(f natural)
