This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
This song is sort of like New Wave, but with a more modern feel.
There are no real guitars used in it at all - it's all synths and samplers.
I think this version of the song needs a bit more work, and hopefully I will get around to it one day.
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
as well as enjoying the interpretation.. I LOVE the 'about' column!! haha. Me ol' ma does a similar thing when she sets the meals down 'meats overdone, potatoes could have been on a bit longer and the sauce is too thick. Enjoy!'
Oh horray! LOVE this arrangement and the lyrics sound so much better when you sing them! That guitar riff echoing the original string pipe motif sounds so haunting! Nice work! (Oh and those sweeping vox of yours..!) Right, I'm going to have to do a cover of your cover!
