‘Let The Rain Kiss You’ is a short piece for trombone and electronics, which takes inspiration from the poem ‘April Rain Song’ by Langston Hughes. The electronics create an atmospheric landscape with reference to the rain that is the basis of the poem, whilst the trombone both merges and floats above the electronic texture. The structure of the poem relates to the fragmentary phrase construction of the trombone line by acting as an unspoken vocalization of the prose.'  ©G.E.M.2015
