a head in the sky

Driving In A Car With You
Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band - The Sun Is Down Remix by Elizabeth Merriman (A Head In The Sky)
A Head In The Sky is a musical project started in loving memory of my brother Mark. The phrase 'a head in the sky' is a play on the title of an unpublished book of poetry he wrote when he was 17 years old. This project allows me to free myself from the self-imposed restraints I feel I am under when I write songs as a singer/songwriter under my other project 'Elizabeth Merriman'. My influences are of some of the best artists that have ever made music: Brian Eno, Gorgio Moroder, Gui Boratto, Shinchi Osawa and other more diverse influences from Crass to Funkadelic to the existentialism of Kafka and the passionate love of a Shakespeare novel. New album coming out soon. Then comes the hard part when I try to re-create all of this music live with a band. CREDITS: All music, vocals and electronic percussion are performed, recorded and produced by 'A Head In The Sky' except electronic drums on percussio 13 by Laura Petracca and vocals on I'm Through With Love and Talking Loud And Clear by guest vocalist Chloe Griffin. Kitty Boo was remixed by Hop Frogg, recorded by Mountain Dred and mastered by Don Sklepowich. The songs 'Creation' and 'I'm Through With Love' were mixed and mastered by Ron Solomon. The short Vimeo video version of 'The Sun Is Down' was mastered by Ron Solomon. Video footage for 'Marching On A Frozen River' shot by Toni Cavaco. The remix of The Sun Is Down is released under a creative commons license as part of a contest put on by Yoko Ono And The Plastic Ono Band. Congratulations to the 20 winners and thanks to Yoko and the band for the amazing opportunity to work with their music.
