great song and melody and voice, greeting from east of you country!

I made this last night to challenge myself to make something suitable for movie
 It's not perfect but I'm trying to get an understanding of transition in songs using cymbals. The drum sequences were programmed using one shots with a drum rack on Ableton ,.then I sliced bits together ..and there you have it. The synth was Zebra2
.quite an amazing little.synth!

Let me know what you think!

Here is a collaboration I did with Axel Menningen, who is a wonderful orchestrator. It's been a privilege to work with him and see how he brought this simple, but lovely, old folk song to life with beautiful "highland" style orchestration.

Lyrics:
The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The harp through it playing has language for me
When over its branches the sunlight is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home
 
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove
'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
But then little thought I how soon we should part

My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home

Ash Grove (feat. Axel Menningen)

*This image of canned, creamed possum, which I found years ago on the internet, and the idea of canning possum (and possum road kill), has intrigued and fascinated me for some time. As I was writing what I thought was a 'sexy' vocal on top of Oussama's sexy track, this song kept interrupting the process, and so much so that I thought I would get it out of my system to quiet the impulse, and then continue on with the original song.
I actually love possums and think they get a bad rap for being too aggressive. 
Stay tuned for the other version...

Cream Of Possum Soup by Oussama Arichi & Nadia Selvaggi

Young and reckless
We faced the world
sought the thrills
and felt so alive
you and I
Chasing sunsets
our spirits wild
hearts on fire
our dreams unbound
you and I

We lived for the adventure
looked danger in the eye
We were young and felt immortal,
We believed we'd never die.
Then you tripped and lost your balance
and stepped right over the line    
between this world and the next one

Our nights were endless
Under city lights
Wheels spinning fast
With no end in sight
You and I
We took our chances
No fear of falling
Burning bright
We outshone them all
You and I

We lived for the adventure
looked danger in the eye
We were young and felt immortal,
We believed we'd never die.
Then you tripped and lost your balance
and stepped right over the line    
between this world and the next one

But time doesn’t wait
For the fearless kind
The scars remain
No matter how you try
I stood with you on the edge
when you took the dive
The pain that you left 
Is one I cannot hide

We lived for the adventure
looked danger in the eye
We were young and felt immortal,
We believed we'd never die.
Then you tripped and lost your balance
and stepped right over the line    
between this world and the next one

The Original track is not fluenty in time, so I did a lot of improvement with after effects on Audacity. Enjoy

Swedish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Johan Alm's solo project, Jambrains, is like a Kinder Surprise: you never know exactly what you are going to get but you know it's going to be tasty and expertly packaged. His music is a fusion of strong melodies and the power of guitars en masse with just a pinch of folk thrown in for good measure.

After paying his dues in numerous bands over the years, 2014 saw the birth of Jambrains as a vehicle for Johan to deliver what he calls "power with melody". "I had so many ideas and was writing so many songs but it was just too difficult to find the time to rehearse them with the band, let alone perform or record them. I had two choices - go solo or go insane", he explains.

At the beginning there was no well-defined Jambrains sound - guitars were always a key ingredient but doing lead vocals was new to Johan and style-wise, the songs were very diverse. Eventually a pattern emerged centred around the power and energy of classic rock with the melodies, harmonies and hooks of pop peppered with the ever-present undertow of folk.

The debut album '900 Days' was released in December 2016 and was well received. "It’s personal and fun, and always accompanied by amazing guitar", one review said.  "I wanted to sort of document the first 900 days of Jambrains, so I selected my 12 favorite songs and remixed/remastered them for the album", says Johan. '900 Days' is a perfect introduction to the evolution of the distinctive sound of Jambrains.

The follow up EP 'Life, Love & Lies' was released in September 2017. "This time I wanted more coherent material with regard to both songwriting and production", says Johan. Where the material for the first album was written and recorded over a period stretching over more than 2 years, 'Life, Love & Lies' was written and recorded over the course of 6 months and as a result, the second Jambrains release does sound tighter and more focused.

The third EP Faded Dreams was release in July 2018 and was well received. Johan is currently finalising the a fourth EP named Lost Horizons scheduled for the third quarter of 2019.
