Allison's Infinite Round - B Mixolydian

I made this ambient soundscape  with my electric dulcimer routed through Logic Pro and enriched with Valhalla DSP effects providing a vast and calm sound.  For me the sounds evoke the sensation of floating gently in a hot air balloon above green rolling foothills with a gentle breeze moving through an open space.

I was initially inspired by a 12-bar blues chord progression but this soundscape emphasizes minimalism with textural variation and now only has a faint echo of the blues in the composition.  Can you hear it?  Listeners should expect an ambient exploration rather than a traditional blues experience.

This track is good for relaxing and continuous listening - consider putting it on repeat. I hope "Drifting Over Fields" brings you a sense of relaxation and inspires a spirit of exploration, allowing you to journey through your dreamscapes.  

Drifting Over Fields

A short adventure on the chords from my tune "Prayer For Safe Passage" --- this from July of 2015, but there is quite a bit of evolution going on with this form. Probably revolution is a better word!!

Safe Passage Jam-A-Round (short version)

This is a very slow and moody take on the Drunken Sailor form. There are basically two electric dulcimer parts, sometimes in dialog with each other, and there is a very quiet two-handed tapping track in the background - also on electric dulcimer. I have a slightly more elegant contraption now to hold my humbucking pickup, with no rubber band--- I use four little wood screws to hold the pickup to the blocks (if I ever go into production with these things, I will go to machine screws.

Recent visits to Koehler's Pond near Wooster, Ohio have inspired me to imitate some melodious bullfrogs!!

This one originally came out on Nine Meditations for Dulcimer, but I had it in B minor there. Still, the tuning is the familiar DAD
