Sierra Wave AM Promo001

This is the final mix.  One of my early promos & includes one of my songs, Star Ryder,  for the background music. Used on radio and in a TV spot. Completely self produced.  This is the final product after I edit the voice over,(from the raw version I also posted) add my music for the background, compress the voice over a bit and mix the levels. I don't always get to edit and produce the whole product, so I wanted to post something that I did everything from start to finish.

Please let me know if you feel anything when you hear this. If you like it, I'd love to hear from you.

My Orange guitar amp was delivered the day of the same night I lost my wife of 24 years, Karen. 

All day I was so excited. Couldn't wait to go home & try out my new amp. Before I got off work, I got the call that Karen had died. The amp sat in its box that night. Couldn't imagine playing at that time. The next day I made myself unpack it. First thing I did was write this for her.  I needed to do SOMETHING in her memory. Music / a song is one gift I could still give her.  This was the first time I played my electric guitar in a couple years. With the loss of my soulmate weighing so heavily on me, I wanted to capture this song for her, while I was as sad as I have ever been. Even though I was rusty, my emotions were so overwhelming, I figured it had to come out in whatever I played. If I could even play. That's when this tune came to me. Used my phone to record it quickly. I feel it captured some of what I was feeling at that moment. 
Please let me know if you feel anything when you hear this. If you like it, I'd love to hear from you. In Memory of Karen Moran - Oct 24 1962 - June 27  2019

Song for Karen (Original Live recording)

Song for Karen 6 28 2019

You heard the recording I made, with my cell phone & practice amp. If not here https://soundcloud.com/chris-replogle/song-for-karen-6-28-2019
Here is what I did with a my DAW. I recorded and played everything (Guitar & Bass) but the drums, which I programmed. 

This is just the melody. There will be more to the song & more instrument tracks later. 
UPDATE
Last night I added the rest of the movements & piano & synth parts. Need to record some better performances. The framework is all in place. Now just need to stay up every night for a couple weeks & finish it

Thanks for all 44 who listened to the original scratch track

Song for Karen

Song For Karen 02

I was given a guitar track, which is a song a friend wrote. He gave it to me so I can work on it. First thing I did was figure out the chords. I'm not a keyboard player or piano player. I'm actually a guitar player / audio engineer. However, I try to play a bit of everything. I've never played much keyboard & am self taught. But while I was figuring out the chords to this song, I was feeling it. I decided to try play it without a click track or drums. This is how it came out. I didn't want to quantize or edit anything. This is just a raw performance. It was written for my late wife, Karen.
