Daphne Oramics: Love Was Severed

This is a song that I recorded on the House of Wires album 'Monogamy'.  As I worked out this ukulele version on my living room couch, I thought that I would record it and share it.  Enjoy

This is one of the tracks from the House of Wires Found Sessions.  I talk about the tracks here:  http://artoftravelogue.blogspot.com/2013/06/an-explanation-of-house-of-wires-found.html

Eventually, I plan on releasing an official 6 song E P of the Found Sessions in much higher quality but for now, here is the free mp3

Here is the original tracks from my Tascam 388 for the House of Wires' song "Your Side of the Mask" from the Monogamy album.  These raw tracks were then transferred to a set of ADATS in order to add more tracks and end up with the final version that is heard on the record.

'All Music Must Die'  is from my new Travelogue album (titled 'the noise is only temporary), being released February 2012.  This is a look at the process in which I wrote the song.  I have been releasing music under the Travelogue name since 2000, and was involved with my other bands, namely House of Wires and Pivot Clowj before that.

'Tiger in Winter' and 'Last Encounter' are from my new Travelogue album (titled "Fireworks"), which was released on Holiday Records on July 4th. This is a look at the process in which I wrote the song. I have been releasing music under the Travelogue name since 2000, and was involved with my other bands, namely House of Wires and Pivot Clowj before that.

Travelogue - Tiger in Winter (processes in writing a song - with commentary)

I have been transferring old songs of mine from a Tascam 388 reel to reel 8 track to my computer.  The vocals and flute were originally recorded in 1996.  The original version was released on a CD compilation called "catscan 1.0", then a remix was later released as a bonus track on the Pivot Clowj album "It's not as if it were the end of the world... that was yesterday".  Even though there are a lot of additional pieces to the studio over the years, I still use the same method of synchronization (FSK) - so remixes are easily done. I am editing a video to share on Youtube that will show FSK sync and this remix being made.

Mostly electronic, experimental, melodic music - peppered with catchy melodies and salted with interesting chord progressions.
