Beautifully sympathetic and spirited improvisation, seemingly informed by the natural setting in which it occurred. Sounds and feels great.

Please enjoy with me the Reservoir Dogs. We are a Soundcloud Band and have already released some tracks, which you can find here:
https://soundcloud.com/kcm069/sets/the-reservoir-dogs
We have a very unique sound and it is a lot of fun to work on music in a band, as suddenly everything goes 4 times as fast, as 4 brains are working and 4 styles are coming together.
This song was created, as Tot. had sent me a drum synth track which was already epic and dark, when nothing had been added.
So I played a bass line and sent this to Ken and Andrea who immediately came back with their parts, which I then mixed and mastered.
I hope you will like it very much guys.

Dark River
KCM  29May09
dark river is the end of the road
the current is strong and the water is cold
many have drowned trying to reach the other shore
it’s too far to swim, but too close to ignore

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

a man pays his way in dust and grime
washes it away with cheap red wine
fourty years on he comes to know
that he don’t wanna stay but he can no longer go

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

some men work ‘til they hit the wall
they sweat and swear to the final call
some might think they have something more
but they all end up on dark river’s shore

well, dark river, is all that remains
dark river, take me home again

Get two pieces for the price of one!

This is of course not the first attempt to capture two different moods in one improvisation. The cheap 'trick' I'm using is to play one rhythm (3/4) while singing another one (4/4), i.e. playing 3 against 4.
What I like about this piece in particular is that it is reminiscent of some of the pieces I recorded after returning from Bucharest in April, which was quite a productive time, if I may say so. So it turned out to be a kind of "sister piece" of the "remainders #1-4". Never mind the bum notes and turn up the volume!
