What Child Is This - XMAS 2015 - Demo 01

Simple piano and voice arrangement of a traditional carol. Away in a Manger has several melodies, in this I've used two of my favourites. Hope you enjoy.

Found this lost little gem of a recording from 2008 so putting it up as a Christmas thank you to my fans and friends.

Away in a Manger (2008)

Live recording at Spadina Station in Toronto of a very romantic song. Lyrics are a classic poem by Rosetti adapted from Shelley. Music is an original melody by Chagall Sierra.

Chagall Sierra - Skylark (Live, May 2015)

Created with Nanostudio/AudioReverb on iPad3 for the RPM / FAWM Warmup Challenge Sponsored by Olympia Noise Co.

Minimalist scifi 60bpm. Visual is a tiny radio tower ship orbiting in the vast sea of stars.

Other apps used were: Audiobus, Audioshare, Audiocopy, and Reaper to trim the ends.
Although the contest asked to do something that is "very you" my style varies depending on the instruments used, so far this is very "me" for what I'm making on the iPad.

Chagall Sierra - iPad - Isolation Tower

Bleak, despairing electronic piece with rock beats. 80bpm, 6/4. (Dear iPad software devs, 6/4 exists and is not just 2x3/4. Thank you.)

Used Nanostudio & Stria, then to Reaper & Drumcore. First time using Stria. Love how screaming this is. Two different Stria solos. Managed to record the second one while totally muted but it worked.

Track still needs automation and some solos of other stuff, however it's day 5 of FAWM so I'd better get moving!

No vocals or lyrics. Not sure if there will be or not.

Chagall Sierra - FAWM2016 - 01 - Don't Look Back

A wintry mood perfect for meditation or yoga, or for listening while enjoying tea and cookies while looking over beautiful scenery.

Chords are from a well-known public domain piece, converted to 5/4 time and produced in Nanostudio and Reaper. The arrangement is original.
