No, it's not a typo.

Little studio project I did with my little sister. Arranged by yours truly.

Old Devon folk song, pinched from a library in California, as that's just how things work nowadays.

My Ladye's Coach

So this is my final version of 'The Second Arrangement'.

The original recording of this song by Steely Dan was wiped from tape by a junior engineer, so this version is constructed from various demos and bootlegs!

The record noise featured is the start and finish of my copy of 'Gaucho', the album for which the song was intended.

Finally got it the way I like it :)


The Second Arrangement

Surprised I didn't upload this earlier really. 

So when I finished my sampler instrument of smashing bottles, banging turntables, shutting fridges, braking trains, blowing bottles and much fun with broken glass, it came together to form this étude, to show it off really.

It (supposedly) tells the story of a drummer turning up drunk to the session, stumbling across the studio making a huge mess (so use headphones!), falling onto the stool, and coming out with a big fat solid drum loop in a compound time signature. Synth sounds are made entirely from blowing over beer bottles and some hefty processing.

What became of the Sampling Project (binaural, use headphones)

Credits music I did for a short film, sometime between 2008-10.

Changing Dimensions Credits

So this has never been recorded for real, just painstakingly sequenced, because I'm yet to meet someone who will take on the challenge of playing it with me. Any takers?

Oh, Hawker.
