Classics and Traditional

Are Ye Sleeping Maggie . . . . well I was until you started blowing ye pipes!!!

Funkinova

Tannerhill Weavers - Are Ye Sleeping Maggie

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10. 

Trad - Drowsy Maggie

Trad - Angus Campbell

Trad - Dowd's Favorite

Remixed Midi's on the Yamaha Clavinova CVP705. I do not play them but produce the audio remixes using this great keyboard !

Tchaikovsky -Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy

Very loosely based on a version by Mannheim Steamroller, my production ended up being Dr Who meets Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yanni and Jean Michel Jarre.

Carol Of The Bells

Trad - Eire Nuance

This started life as a 4 track midi and I wanted to go for the effect across 16 channels that you get at a folk festival when 16+ random folkies sit in a circle and decide to jam to a folk tune which they might not have played before, but if you know the key and tempo they all know their part!

Ashley Hutchins - Ducks On The Millpond

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,900,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
