An exploration of alternative meanings of the song "Summer Time" By - George Gershwin

The original song created for the Opera, Porgy & Bess has firmly established itself in the psyche of Jazz, Blues, Folk and Popular musicians.

This experiment is a take on the idea that the song has some darker meanings.

It is also an opportunity to merge some digital sound design, field recordings and vocals into a stripped back soundscape.

Recently, the Spacehaul project has been playing with the idea of uncomfortable listening experiences.

So for some relief, here are some other, more palatable versions of the classic track.

What is your favourite cover of this track?

Do you know of any obscure performances of Summer Time or any other undisputable classics?

Or...

If you loved / hated my hard to listen to version, let me know how it made you feel.

I'm always happy to discover new music, so hit me up with your most grating tracks.

If you take the time to leave me a comment, I will do my best to visit your profile and read some of your posts.

Until next time, Spacehaul
