80's style rock song that has the flavour of disillusionment, but promises better times.

Welcome to what looks to be my the last competition for 2019.   HOFA is hosting its annual Christmas mixing competition.   When I got the invite a few days ago I took a listen and was like.....ugggghhhh!!!  An "a cappella" which puts me in my weakest spot for a starting position.  

The human voice when on a piece of music, ends up being one of the most important/relatable parts of the piece.  A great vocal performance can prop up a band... but it very seldom works the other way around.  

It's been one of the more challenging things for me to mix properly.  Here is the 2019 HOFA competition and the only thing on it, VOICES!!.  Challenge accepted HOFA and here is where I ended up brothers and sisters.  

The competition closes out in January so still plenty of time to get into the competition if you want to have some fun....working the faders.  I mean common what else could be more fun?....(blushes)  Really people, such dirty minds!!  haha

Happy Holidays brothers and sisters

Special thanks to Bill from November Sound( https://soundcloud.com/november-love-680008043 ) for being an advisor on the project... Big thank you for this and all your support in 2019. 

On a slight comedic note to one of our own:  Sunnidayz always mentions not being a techie...  If you get here sister.... I fought my production rig for 3 hours this morning to print the final mix and master...  Had everything set last night... wanted to sleep on it before finalizing.  This morning bam..kerchunk..bzzzt....with every session crash... I was reminded of those things you mention, about it getting in the way!  Three hours of fighting for 20 minutes worth of work!!

Epitaph (for Theo Calis 1960 - 2020)

Martin Hoogeboom: guitar/loop station
Marlon Wolterink: mastering

Theo and I have worked on countless music projects over the past 40 years. I have learned a lot from his stubborn and headstrong views and methods of recording and mixing music. His influence on my soundscapes is immense. In 2014 we both enjoyed working on “Where Do We Go From Here?” (2014 - Etched Traumas - ET77) which became also part of the soundtrack of Australian short movie “Grid Face”. Pieces for acoustic guitar and loop station.

In 2017 I worked on a sequel, the guitar suite "Licht". 
“Epitaph (for TC)” is originally a demo version of one of the pieces but unused in the “Licht” version as it appeared on CD (2018 “LIght / Well” - Thirsty Leaves Music - TLM019). Due to Theo’s health problems it was not possible to collaborate on this project but he appreciated the sober minimal guitar pieces for what they were.

I will remember Theo with great respect for the rest of my life.

Epitaph (for TC)

I have no real brothers or sisters.
But what is "true"?
There are things that build up with each other.

This song of, My sister, Gina.

Sometimes

sometimes sad
sometimes happy
sometimes gray
sometimes blue
sometimes night
sometimes day
sometimes good
sometimes bad

It is the life
That we all live
There's no difference
Between us
The stars to show
The ways of sailing
The ways of flying
The ways of living

Sometimes

Skalbaggen

Cylinders

A picture of A horse

Music project from Sweden, influences, rock from the 80´s.  My likes in music is  wide as hell, all from Enya to Wasp to Backyard babies and Shakira. There is no bad music only different tastes. And on soundcloud there are so many gifted people so it is unbelivable.Myself i am absolutly a novice regarding this, i dont know notes, scales or what  have you i just do as good as i can with the little i know.
