Folk Alt

Works in Progress

Rock

Demo for a cover of Jethro Tull's "Witch's Promise", done with GarageBand software Instruments and Doggiebox drum programming. When, I get the chance, I will record proper guitars, basses ... and vocals! :)

Witch's Promise (Instrumental MIDI Demo)

A demo recorded for my former UK band, The Hibachi Dealers, in about 2005/2006, dusted off and slightly remixed in 2013. The vibe is supposed to be sort of "Black Öyster Tull", though it probably comes out a bit more sub-Spın̈al-Tap ... ;) I think this remix is about as good as I can make the original fairly rough demo recordings; I have started thinking about doing a good new recording. (But should it be faster? The same? Have to play with it some more ....)

On the Hill (Demo)

With apologies to Messrs. Davey and Chadwick, a new version of a partial demo of this classic Hawkwind song. There's more to do, but I kinda like how it's coming along. :)

Recorded in Garageband, using Amplitube's Orange amplifier models for guitars and basses.

Chemicals

Partial demo for a projected longer piece. Starts with ambient synth scares, then picks up with some riffing drone rock and world-pysch touches. All done in GarageBand with various soft synths and instruments, samples, and a bass through Amplitube.

Bottoms Up

When We Stand Together

Jon and I reprised our Buddies hit-making method from last year and wrote a happy new year song in about half an hour. Enjoy!

Happy New Year (Frank Turner & Jon Snodgrass)

A partial demo for an "epic metal" arrangement of the famous Scottish border ballad (Child 39). It's definitely unfinished: at the moment, the story only reaches the point where Tam reveals that "the Queen of Fairies, she caught me when from my horse I fell" -- and it's already over six-and-a-half minutes long. Recorded in Garageband, though the guitar and bass amp models are courtesy of some Amplitube plug-ins, and the drums were programmed in Doggiebox with the old ns_kit7 samples. My version of the lyrics is kind of a mash-up of various attested variants; the music is mostly my own, though it references bits of the arrangements made famous by Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. It's gonna be huge and bombastic as all get out by the time I finish it! :)

Tam Lin (Partial Demo)

Original song featuring vocals, lyrics, and artwork (!) from Dunken Mullett of cult space--punk-metal band Mournblade (http://www.mournbladeband.com). Even when there's no more gasoline, this one will get ya goin'!

Dunken Mullett: vocals.
@andy-gilham: synths.
@carledlundanderson: guitars, bass, synths, programming.

No More Gasoline (with Dunken Mullett)

Formed in 1971 ;) Carl grew up on a musical diet of folk, jazz, and classical music, before succumbing to the heady glories of rock-and/or-roll in a teenage daze. Thereafter, he played guitar and bass, wrote songs, and generally jammed out in various bands in the US and UK. 

Now based in Colombia, South America, the demands of fatherhood and family life may have, admittedly, slowed his output a bit, but have by no means dampened his enthusiasm as he continues mucking about with home-recording projects (thus being forced to add keyboards, drum programming, and -- gulp! -- vocals to his repertoire) while hoping that technology eventually makes online collaborations easier. :)
