And here's the story:
"
A boy, that frolicked on the banks of Seine,
Fell in, and would have found a watery grave…
For this I wanted to create some longing sounding atmosphere. To create the (somewhat annoying) guitar part in the second half I used an ebow.
"
you stand a long time at the door
observe the lighting on the floor
you are not welcome anymore
no…
I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.
I recorded my voice…

I found silver in your mouth
on a holiday
found stories in your eyes
beautiful as mould
6000 miles away
I finally recalled
the secrets on your skin
in scars and birthmarks

secret stories of…
"
At the lake we were crawling around
til our knees left bloodstains on the ground
licked our wounds and the pain went away

I hope the emotional content will outweigh the technical deficiencies... this is the sound of me singing with a broken heart and a killer sinus infection. I guess this one is 8 or 9 years old by now; another one from the trunk-full of songs that…

I set myself the challenge of making a track this evening. I've uploaded it with 2 minutes to spare.
I started out with a wind chime instrument in Kontakt. I sequenced it using the PX-18 sequencer and then fed three different version of it…
A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
