Juliette Armanet: A la Folie [arr. for solo piano]

Some jazzy drum sounds with a Boom Bap feeling.

The Wisdom Of The Flute

A song about the courage that some of us need in order to muster up the strength to ask someone we've fallen for out on a date.  I've always been one of those that's always held back, fear of rejection being the influencing factor.  Some people leap and fly, while others just fall.  I'm always too frightened of the fall to allow myself to take the leap at all.  I've been lucky in some ways, in that I've been purposefully pushed into people, and something's cropped up, but I've never actually gone up to someone and made a move.  There was someone in particular I had in mind when I wrote this song.

There's some reference in the song to how I used to overcome such trials at school, as a child "see if she's interested!" 🤣

I've been writing songs for ages and ages, because it's something I enjoy doing, and that's about it. 

I've added dates to titles, however, these aren't always dates recorded, mostly just dates written because the original offerings, back then, had little to be desired with consideration to production values and all that stuff!  For the older tracks some tracks have the old backing with a modern vocal (often with a lyric rewrite), the original vocal with a new backing (when I could work with the original vocal, but not the original backing), the original song newly recorded in all areas, and less often the original vocal and backing, but with a few additions, "No" is one such example.  Otherwise, most of it is newer stuff, post 2018, and is as is, when written and recorded.    

I've had to re-record some things on account of my abilities to record demos and all that being very limited once upon a time.  

In the early days I only had a Farfisa F1 workstation thing (it's amazing what I managed to do on that), later an Atari ST, with Cubase 2 probably, a Proteus 2000, and Fostek 8 track recorder thing, and now I've got Native Instruments 14, and Cubase 12, in what amounts to an astonishingly good set up compared to my earlier resources, for about the same money as that older rubbish was back then. 

I still use the microphone I've had since I was 18, though did just recently upgrade that as well, however still pick up and use the old one, as it's still good - a Sure SM58 with a dent in it! My upgraded mic is a Sure SM7B, which is great, and I see it all the time on TV and podcasts, so must have made a good choice! 

My musical chops are focused on the piano, my main instrument, and the ukulele, which I play a lot as well.  Not doing a lot of piano-orientated songs at the moment, but I do sometimes, and mostly try to get the best out of my Native Instruments stuff.  I'm barely scratching the surface with all of the NI stuff I've got.
