Mordor National Anthem (disquiet0392)

Performed by DD
Harmonium, electric piano, bowed basses, synths, chromatic harmonica, bombo.
Photo by Frantzou Fleurine

I often do this, taking some used and unused takes and blend them together, as I accumulate idle recorded ideas and unfinished demos I do that recycling sometimes.
For this one I used a previously recorded but unused Indian Harmonium improvisation in Ebm using one of the harmonium’s drone (a Eb note) and the “Low” stops.
The I took an electric piano and synth pad tracks that was at a different tempo and key  but as it was midi I could easily make it match the harmoniums tempo and key.
Third I took a couple of bowed upright basses playing a free-tempo drone, just bowing on the open E note. Pitch shifted that stereo track down to Eb and blended all together.
Then I added today a second stereo harmonium recording playing a melody using the “High” stops. Last, I played some high pitch Ebm notes on my chromatic harmonica.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
