decided to do a minimalistic chord progression of the Choro de Berimbau tune.

this was an attempt at making a tune where the vocal melody was nonredundant with the chords (or never found in any of the notes of any of the chords). Almost succeeded - but it was fun trying.

Also known as Cooking With Condiments! A snack. Nothing much of substance in the cupboards or fridge, but doesn't mean you should go without eating.

Instrumentation: fretless bass, tabla, acoustic and distorted acoustic guitar, hang drum samples (courtesy of Sudara), soft synth (AAS Ultra Analog), ambient sample of the jungle (pitched down two octaves) a sprinkle of ebow (from my Sudara files).

this song tells the story about a haunted man condemned to jail because of the crimes he did.

The berimbau is a brazilian percussion/string instrument that is the foundation for this tune. Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece. And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…
