Name: Guitar With A Broken String by Nate Orr in Full Inbox: Batch 556
Duration: 3 min 40 s
Description: A trip down memory lane through the lense of an old guitalele, in the sounds of pop, jazz and singer/songwriting styles, with drums, guitars, bass and vocals.

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon DATE 27th January 2025: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch556

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

A thoughtful "fuck off" to haters everywhere

Well, here's something very different for me - Here's a light and quirky acoustic #folk / #singersongwriter version of my sad song called 'Promises', with the amazing 3VSound (Ava Suzanne) on vocals.

I wanted the simplest (and hopefully most effective) string arrangement and quirky counterpoint vocals, and I think I got it. :-)
This track is out for a nervous spin to see if anyone likes it.

Guitar With A Broken String

Superficially meditative and 'ambient', but conjuring alternating emotions of relaxation and tension, darkness and light.

A Joyful jaunty handpan tune evoking the joy of a sunny May afternoon. This tune bounces through melodic shifts and different time signatures to create a fun little celebration of spring!
