Type of Project: Recording, Production & Release
Sound recording released: 27th September, 2021
Video project released: 11th October, 2021

Details:
River of Change
The song is a tribute to Gumbaynggirr country and the Bellingen Shire, one of the places that Stav calls home. Includes Gumbayggirr translations by Micklo Jarrett and the Muurrbay Aboriginal Language & Culture Co-operative.

A blend of sonic sound built from a palette of acoustic guitar, vocal layering, resonating lyric and light percussive undertones. The song is highlighted by rhythmic movement leading into colourful sparkling melodic playfulness. A song that is flowing with what is. It's meditative, real and mesmerizing.

 "River of Change" written by Stav Shaul and Shirley Lynn is a songwriting project facilitated by APRA AMCOS 3-2-1 Home Sessions during the 2020 pandemic. While this collaboration started as a blind connection for a co-write, it’s  evolvement has  eventuated in a produced song, mixed and mastered by Zac Barter and supported by a music video. Metaphorically, a river personifies the notion of constant change. From day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year – it’s ever changing.  Life is like that too… a constant flow of ever change. Let’s take a swim.

Vocals: STAV. and Shirley Lynn
Instrumentation: STAV.

Production: Stav Shaul
Mixing and Mastering: Isaac Barter

"Live and Let Live" was a song I was always going to record in North Queensland and pivotal to seeking recording for it a further two songs became part of the project as well.

This song generates seeds of awareness with a gentle reminder to prepare for times when extreme weather is part of the distinctive character of living in NQ. Its shared regional narrative in speaking about cyclone season brings a sense of connectedness for people sharing this recurring experience.

The project agenda was set to develop collaborative ability, create employment and build capacity in the creation of quality outcomes for song production.

"Keep it Real" - Recording, Production & Release
Project Title: "Keep it Real"
Type of Project: Recording, Production & Release
Released: March, 2020

Details:
"Keep it Real" was produced and recorded with Barb and Adie Hannan at The Song Store in Melbourne in November 2019.

Keep it Real
Keep it Real is a song inspired by Self Realisation. If suffering is a part of living and heaven and hell are already here and now, liberation from suffering comes from seeing things as they really are.

The song challenges the listener to question thoughts and beliefs.
We can all get caught up in the human condition and as we look to the world outside, people are the mirrors constantly reflecting this. How do we get to the peace and harmony we may strive for in our lives?

Country music has always been a strong musical influence for me, so there will always be an element of country in my songs with anything from country blues, alternative country, americana, country rock, country ballad, contemporary and traditional country along with folk and roots influences also. The direction of my music is driven by creative endeavour with a need to be able to explore eclectic possibilities.

Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Harmonica by Shirley Lynn and all other instrumentation by Adrian Hannan.

Project Title: "Cry Baby Cry"
Type of Project: Recording, Production & Release
Released: April 2020

Details:
"Cry Baby Cry" was produced and recorded with Barb and Adie Hannan at The Song Store in Melbourne in November 2019.

Cry Baby Cry
[tears of joy]
Everyday is a new day.
With underlying understanding that out of suffering, there can be wellbeing of joy. Turn off autopilot. Wake up! Find clarity with an open mind. Choose how to face each new day. Experience the joy that's possible.

Human experience is created within, we are each the source of our own joy. It doesn't matter what we have or what we have not. Do we face each day with clarity and an open mind to leave misery behind? Experience the wellbeing and joy that's possible. Now that could be something to truely cry about.

An uptempo, bright uplifting song in country blues, alternative rock style. As a glass half full kind of girl, it's realised that change in our world can be made with change from within. As simple as it may seem it has potential to shift the perception of our own experience.

Country music has always been a strong musical influence for me, so there will always be an element of country in my songs with anything from country blues, alternative country, americana, country rock, country ballad, contemporary and traditional country along with folk and roots influences also. The direction of my music is driven by creative endeavour with a need to be able to explore eclectic possibilities.

[4] Toplining Song Demos
Project Title: Topline Song Demos
Type of Project: Topline writing with track demo
Topline recording: 18th April 2018

Details:
I'd read a book called "The Song Machine" written in 2015 which elaborated considerably on the evolvement of writing style for hit music and in evolvement with our current era. It was fascinating as always to learn the ways of doing things in the songwriting world.

Songtown offered a crash course in writing to tracks. This course was specifically oriented toward toplining on tracks already created and developed. Over the duration of 4 weeks, six (6) tracks were received which provided the foundation upon which I would write my lyric and create a melody to four new songs. Until these songs are fully produced they remain as demo songs.

In doing this course, I was mostly blown away by how many cracker songs were written by participants in the group, all with such different song versions.

The song titles that evolved and are part of the Demo Tracks are:
"Never Let Go", "Tangled Blue", "Fallen Angel" and "A Little Wiser".




"Life's About the Little Things" - Carter and Carter + Co-write & Song Cut
Project Title: "Life's About the Little Things"
Type of Project: Songwriting Collaboration

Details:
Collaborating on the song "Life's About the Little Things" was a great opportunity to work in a songwriting project with David and Merelyn Carter, Mary Harrison, Sam Bellamy, Robyn Hull and John Collins.
Blog Notes: Co-write opportunity
David and Merelyn recorded the song on their "Better Day" album.
Blog Notes: Carter and Carter Cairns Workshop
Blog Notes: Tamworth Salute Awards

It was at the Australian Songwriters Conference where I first met David and Merelyn Carter - a husband and wife duo with acclaimed awards for their music in country and gospel genres. I was impressed with the sessions they facilitated at the conference. They provided information openly sharing insights into their processes for the interest of all. They struck me as innovative in their approach in the way that they build communities within the industry they loved working in. They were planning their forthcoming album "A Better Day" and they had many options available for people to come on board in support of their project with relative benefits offered in the process.


I decided to join them in their Song on the Album Project and along with four (4) other participants we set about writing a song together. As much as anything, I was interested in finding out about their approach to writing a song with multiple co-writers while enabling it to be a true collaboration.

This project is now completed... The initial session bought together David, Merelyn, Mary Harrison, Robyn Hull, John Collins, Sam Bellamy and myself. Google docs and google hangouts enabled us all to be on the same page so to speak to meet, collaborate, share and exchange ideas. Brainstorming was initially the order of the day and our sessions together productively moved the shaping of the song.

The song was ready for recording by 21st November 2017, when David and Merelyn went into the studio to record.

Being a part of this project offered...

  • A special opportunity to come and write a song with David & Merelyn (Carter & Carter) for the new album.  This songwriting session was limited to 5 people.  
    Writing a song for the album offered:
    * Taking part in a songwriting workshop
    * Brainstorming with Carter & Carter
    * Making lyric and melody suggestions
    * Helping in song rewrites before recording
    * Opportunity to head along to the studio to hear the song recorded
    * Credited on the Better Day album as a co-writer
    * Registration as a co-writer with APRA
    * Receiving any royalties due as a co-writer
  • A personally signed copy of Carter & Carter's new album Better Day prior to release posted to me 
  •  My name added to the supporters list on the website & album booklet
  •  A personal thank you on Facebook for my support
  • Exclusive access to the New Album Project website where shaping the artwork for the album took place, heard demos of song, saw videos exclusive to the New Album website
  • An invite to a special Better Day facebook page
I was so excited at how the song shaped up. With David and Merelyn being the artists to perform this song, ultimately their decision making gave greater direction to the outcome that evolved from this process of songwriting.

The single song is available for digital download from iTunes. The song was awarded Contemporary Ballad as well as Best Country Song in 2018. It was a finalist in the UK Song Competition in Country Category as well as Lyrics only Category. It was also given a special mention in the 2019 Lyrics of the Year Awards. Check out the music from Carter and Carter's website.
