@larapeterssonmusic: Oh yes ... quite a bit. ;-)

Thank you for your effort and this wonderful music. I like the ambiguity in this piece and the use of voice samples. Keep Up the good work :)

Love the addition of the children's laughter, beautiful piece overall. Durge

Your ability to evoke imagery is impressive... so Cinematic... even in the gentle moments.

Spectacular! Too complex to be truly cinematic

Lyrics:

Statues and memories
They get best of me
Shadows and photographs
They got the rest of me
But not for long

Stuck in this reverie
Can’t shake the dust off
Forever residue
On this soul
But not this song

And I, I’ve done my time
Time to give up the ghost
I’ve done my time
Time to give up the ghost

So wear your heart out
I’ve cleared my head
A new page lifted
Tune into a different song 

The old forgivable
Undone from a million to one
To blame
From right or from wrong

And I, I’ve done my time
Time to give up the ghost
I’ve done my time
Time to give up the ghost

Tear down the past
Tear down the past
It won’t last 
No, no, no, no, no

Give Up The Ghost

For Dan Lockhart, musical brother

Waiting for the rain,
waiting for the moist to come.
See what clouds can bring
to this dry dust in the sun.

What now
Can be
done

Watch the garden grow,
you can see it
when you take your time.
Just to ease your mind,
try to see what you can find.

Keen to see my friends
to chill & talk & think ahead.

Now what 
can be
done.

I seek a friendly voice
soothing presence
to feel at home.

Waiting for the rain
I can almost smell it
in the air.


Recorded 28-30 April 2020, during the corona-lockdown.

Another track from Martian Tavern Jukebox

Martian Time-Slip (Demo)

This Cinematic-style Celtic Fantasy is loosely based around an ancient Celtic gathering on Lindisfarne and had me researching the Common Brittonic language to get some interesting 'Foley' sounds.  It was spoken in Britain and Brittany and eventually developed into Old Welsh, Cumbric, Cornish, and Breton.  It also features my long suffering wife who over time has become a quasi- Foley artist and harmony part singer for me. 

The Metheglin of the title is the oil that makes the celebration happen and is a type of spiced mead, so basically fermented honey with spices added. It also obliquely connects to Lindisfarne mead and also the bees featured in 'By Castle Walls'.  

I wanted to get a sort of cinematic feel to be dropped into a Celtic Festival or feast day and I hoped the language and children's laughter would aid in the immersion. Finally in this project I get to do a fair bit of bouzouki playing which was a plus. 

So hopefully you will enjoy the feast .... "búwa slanos ac swos"

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Instrumentation

A Taste of Metheglin features low and high whistles, harp, strings, violin, alto-flute, a choir backing and bouzouki. Percussion consists of bodhrán, clapping, various taps and knocks, shaker and even tapping on my acoustic guitar. 

Vocal FX is a combination of Brittonic vocalisations and a  backing line from the Soundiron 'Voices of Gaia' collection featuring the vocal talents of Linda Strawberry.

Some of the percussion sounds come from the excellent playable VST instrument set "Flying Hands Percussion" by HandHeld Sound

A sea waves sound FX and children laughing FX that are classed as Public Domain are used to add colour to the track from www.freesound.org

Background

This track is a combination of VST-based instrumentation and real-playing of instruments  with additional clapping, tapping and knocking, all overlaid with original Foley sounds.

I wanted to try and get a well developed rhythmic feel and maybe the feel of circular dancing that hopefully comes out from the track.

Drumming Dub

A collection of songs, instrumentals and orchestral pieces charting my adventures in home studio recording and production.  All original compositions using voice, acoustic and electric guitar (sometimes using altered tunings), bouzouki, low and high whistles and MIDI instrumentation. 

I'm also using VST instrumentation to create classical compositions and integrating orchestral sounds into my songs and instrumentals.
