Fine cover  to all of the great Dylan song !!

The best whispered version I've heard, great team guys! Super organ sounds and JB always nails it too, really good stuff from you all.

And the stone rolls on....instrumentation is old school good (reminds me of a Stones song w/o Jagger's screaming jabber), & vocal sounds like it should have been done this way the first time around.  Just a great sound guys.

It was Dylan's 80th birthday recently!
I thought that a cover of one of his songs would be a nice tribute. He has brought a great deal of understanding and pleasure into my life and the lives of countless others.
I am delighted to be joined by the wonderful Jonathan Beckenstein, on electric guitar, and the amazing Jamie Rhind on beautiful organ. If you don't already know, they are both brilliant and generous musicians, go and listen to their music : )

So Many Deaths

When the rains came,
the carillon rang out above the pairing ships
the Good Shepherd Lutherans, 
a call to communion
their flagons filled
Twenty-three bells, for whom do you toll?
If it's God's plan, then pull the guns
from the hands of the white man

By the early afternoon, 
the rains had made pools along the Mile Ground
the dead were floating in it,
the bodies bobbing were the innocent
and the flies soon swooned
four and twenty jenny wrens flying in
to steal the crumpled spins of the skeletons

Your eyes wouldn't believe
the extent of the greed
when a nation of laws won't prevent
so many deaths

Look how you leave us with nothing to lose...

So Many Deaths

The Adventures of Vector Owl - Theme Tune and Intro

Vector Owl is a cheeky magical owl who gets up to various antics in the forest he calls home. Quite often,  he just wants to have a quiet snooze but pesky creatures keep disturbing him. 

Thankfully, with his understanding of the power of vector magic, he can conjure up solutions to these annoyances and get back to having a well earned rest.

Background
 
This project began with a 10 second piece of music and a very simple 2D animation of a little character called Vector Owl. 

The music was expanded into a full theme tune, a brand new redesigned Vector Owl emerged and a change of animation software resulted in what you see here. Whilst familiar with creating music, animation is a completely new world to me and I'm still learning as I go.

All the graphic elements are vector-based, using a combination of Serif Affinity software for graphical development and various open-source packages for animation and video editing, with the original music created in Cubase Pro.

Now this intro is complete I'm hoping to get started on his first adventure.

All music, songs and lyrics are original, unless noted.
Collaborations welcome, if you think you can add something to any of my songs, want to sing them, etc, please drop me a note
I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the good stuff going on in the lower frequencies. You don't want to only hear half of the music : )
