acapella vocal loop
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
- Christina Rossetti 1872

Very evocative....I remember seeing a meteor shower in rthe UK mid eighties...the display,well it was gobsmacking....which means it leaves you speechless ! 80)
I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own.
As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY
most lovely ,,,, im not much of a singer myself, but if there are words that call to you why not give it a go,,, then we can all have 2 songs to fav...... the cadence of this is very nice and most comforting ,,, merry mid winter

Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…
My 5-year-old daughter has asked me to make music for her to have playing in her room as she falls asleep. So, I'm working on a new album of ambient and downtempo electronica called "Sleep." Here's a work-in-progress mix of the first track.
A drone + some angry drunken guitar playing.
Trying to capture a feeling...
You have just had a fight/argument with a lover but you're drunk and your feelings are lost in a swimming haze.

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
For the daughters of two of my favorite people.
Bonfire Lullaby

With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why

A homage to Steve Hackett (who wrote this piece)

This is played using John O'Sullivan's Blue JI tuning. Pianoteq and Kontakt didn't play nice together so I had add 4.81 cents to all of the flute notes.

Glorious!
Well, thanks to your narration, I was right there with you. Absolutely magical telling of a majestic moment!
What a beautiful piece!
Store !
BTW I love all the background noises ...where were you playing this....in a shop ?? 80) JTO
great live feel ....cos it is !! I take it this was straight out of the tin as it comes ....very impressive... Jarvo
A cool refreshing tune. You should sing more often.
Killer Kavin Kover
not sure how i did not fav this before...killer
Great tones /Harmonics use/ Non standard progression/twin picking sound all appeal to these ears, Bloody lovely mate!
Cool. The child in the adult is for wonder.
great delivery.........
What a beautiful memory!
Very evocative....I remember seeing a meteor shower in rthe UK mid eighties...the display,well it was gobsmacking....which means it leaves you speechless ! 80)
cool track,nice blend of instruments....cheers Jarvo
Very nice memory. Sounds like your father was a good man.

One of my favourite Christmas carols beautifully played sir.
Dreamily. Singing, being intimate, should not destroy magic here. The main thing - do not overdo with it ;-)
most lovely ,,,, im not much of a singer myself, but if there are words that call to you why not give it a go,,, then we can all have 2 songs to fav...... the cadence of this is very nice and most comforting ,,, merry mid winter

So what happened to Johnny? This is the only thing that remains. Did I miss something?
Another hit. These blow me away.
Aahh. Hints of Alison Krause. This top stuff yawl.
Love the acoustic interplay on this!
Dig the minimalism here!
Yeah Kirk, definitely check out DM. One of the best modern westerns I think, and I usually don't like westerns. NY's soundtrack is perfect for it too.
Lucky lucky. Great sweeping tone on this. Got a pick of the entire guitar?
Like the Hendrixian guitar that comes in at 4 min...is that Ken playing?
Woaw yeah, great low end! The ominous intro might induce nightmares tho..
Your mood really comes thru in the music. Hope it all works out.
Inventive and free. Is the cat like a tree falling in a forest?
The Dark Riders are near. Wish this were 10 times longer!
Simply lovely. Will have to search for more Scartaglen.
Great work yawl. Even rivals the great Vincent Price's recitation.
Ha!
I must echo everyone else. Beautiful songwriting.
Fantastic, inventive stuff.
This just seems to float in the air and tickle the ears. Nice epi.

Hackett and this one are a big fave of mine, nice take on a beautiful melody.
