WINGHAVEN: THE WINGSTERS’ WORLD
WINGHAVEN IS A TINY PLANET ORBITING EARTH. IT IS ALSO THE HEADQUARTERS AND HOME OF OUR CELESTIAL COURIER COMPANY, LITTLE WINGSTERS.
Winghaven is a planet, floating through space, singing and reflecting earthly sounds of daily life and laughter in its ‘music’. At the core of the little blue-green planet dwells the brilliantly sparkling cloud seething with light known as Moya. Also known as ‘Dispatch’.
When she isn’t dishing out tasks to the four couriers, Dispatch assembles and distils the sounds emanating from Earth, sometimes with a full orchestral accompaniment, depending on her mood, into something rich and fine.
She has a really broad sense of what comprises music, so the sounds become a beautiful mashup of conversations, sounds from nature and everyday civilisations from all over the world.
The Slynaps tree grows straight through Winghaven, its trunk forming part of the decor of Moya’s control room at the centre. Its crown catches passing star-seeds in its feathers, forming cocoons from which new baby angels emerge.
The talent behind Moya’s singing planet
I first heard Stuart Ziegler’s music live at an exhibition by Katherine Glenday. Two musicians performed with stones, shells and various other objects from nature. Stuart then mixed these with music he composed.
I hope to collaborate with him to supply the track for Moya’s mashups which will probably include many more everyday sounds as the planet floats through space around the Earth, emitting the Moyamusic comprising sounds gathered from everyday life on that planet.
The Song of Wings plays out each episode, and can be used as the base for general theme music or as part of Moya’s mashups. Scorecloud is a great tool for non-musicians, like a speech-to-text app for music.
So that’s why the music awaits an expert’s touch!

THE VERY GRUMPY
GARDENER
Sometimes, Winghaven’s pet/gardener, Ignatius usually feeds off the turquoise grass of the planet. He also likes fallen Slynaps feathers. In his (many) unsociable moments, he curls up for a nap or a sulk on top of the ever-patient and immensely understanding Slynaps Tree.

WINGHAVEN:
THE WINGSTERS’ WORLD
WINGHAVEN, A TINY PLANET ORBITING EARTH, IS ALSO THE HEADQUARTERS AND HOME OF OUR CELESTIAL COURIER COMPANY, LITTLE WINGSTERS.
Winghaven floats through space like a large speaker, playing earthly sounds of daily life in its ‘music’. At the core of the little blue-green planet dwells the brilliantly sparkling cloud seething with light known as Moya, – ‘Dispatch’ to her couriers.
When she isn’t dishing out projects to the Wingsters, Dispatch assembles the sounds emanating from Earth, sometimes with a full orchestral accompaniment, depending on her mood, into something rich, fine and it has to be said, truly weird.
She has a really… broad sense of what comprises music, so the sounds become a beautiful mashup of conversations, sounds from nature and everyday life from all over the world.
