In Memory (Re Mastered)

First, by agreement of use, I must give credit for the backing track to http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com. These folks provide great backing tracks by many artists in many genres. One of the best sites for free backing tracks I have found to date. You can use the tracks for free for non-commercial purposes. The organ player on this track is killer as evidenced by his or her solo.

Hope you like this one. I am still working hard on my technique to wring the most expressiveness out of the Hohner melodica.

Unfortunately there is a bit of background noise (static electricity discharge) during the start of the first verse. Mouthpiece flew off for a few seconds during one of the last verses.

Polar Looming - The Swarm

A study in melodica sound modulations generated through breadth control, humming, melodica movement, and other simple techniques. The instrument was a Hohner HM-27 or HM-32 (I forgot) played into a Green Bullet mic connected directly to a Vox tube amp with some onboard reverb (mucho reverb). No pedals or other effects. Recorded to a Yamaha PR7 pocket recorder using a good quality Audio-Technica stereo mic. As always, using headphones or good quality playback equipment brings out the subtleties in the music.

Song For Today

Old Bones

'Grasping for answers, with broken hearts'

'In the face of hate and violence, we will love one another'

Orlando

A song I wrote for myself, if you can relate then great. Here it is anyway.

Lyrics:
It's just the way he is...

Small talk always short,
Slow reply humour dry,
Super smart gentle heart,
but you've always known... (It's just the way it is)

(To find real peace you have to let the armour go,
Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world)

Never thought, never grew,
Never knew that it was true,
But you've always known it's just the way he is

It's just the way it is...
