Set Em Up

Generous soundclouders shared their tracks to add my accordion or I added to their tracks.  In the process, I've had a lot of fun and learned a lot as well.

Collab Projects

This is a song about my ever restless heart.  I would like to thank Carl Suiter for his amazing vocal on this track! 

Over The Line

Of Rivers And Religion

Lord Have Mercy

My friends Pikachu and Elephant heard all the fun the mouse and I were having making our little orchestra and decided to join in.

note - Ok I know it's enough already, I'll stop and get some actual work done today. 

Jamming With The Cat, Mouse, Pikachu, And Elephant (multi-species open collab)

This song goes out to everyone who has problems with Alcohol. My father used to sing this to me jokingly, until alcohol ultimately claimed his life. Remember it's never too late to make a change. Special thanks to Patrick Doyle for helping me mix this one.

The Shifty Twin's Torch Light Waltz

Here is my take on Personal Jesus in the style of Johnny Cash.

PERSONAL JESUS

I enjoyed versions posted by @fingerstyle_guitar  of Besame Mucho so much I tried jamming along with my accordion to two of them.  


Violin: Dick Vestdijk   @oorlab
Guitars: Didi van Frits  @fingerstyle_guitar
Accordion: Alan Ingall  @newshoe

Besame  Mucho -(collab with  Fingerstyle Guitar - Oorlab - Newshoe)

The shift supervisor is still out and the night shift boys are not getting much work done as they play their accordions instead of greasing the machinery.  I hope their easy jobs are safe from any layoffs !

note:
I wanted an early 20th century factory kind of sound for this track.  I tried using an accordion bass but then I remembered Hank Tilbury' s ( @hanklebury ) recording of the real thing posted a while ago see:
https://soundcloud.com/hanklebury/steam-sketch        So I added it on - hope Hank doesn't mind.

I heard Hank Tillbury's track and thought I would jam along after breakfast this morning.

Banjo With Accordion After  Breakfast (collab with hanklebury)

from Alan:
I heard some of Greg Savin's tracks and thought it would be fun if he applied some of his modern audio processing techniques and added his "Uke Bass"  to an old klezmer tune played on my accordion.   Quite a change - and certainly more interesting than my rather plain starting track.

Accordion: Alan Ingall
Uke Bass,  Percussion, Audio processing: Greg Savin

from Greg:
Added "uke bass" (uke sampled and pitch-lowered). Part 2, an increased tempo chorus with some some percussion pattern added (just grabbed a drum kit in my DAW with a simple beat pattern).
