&nbsp;Featuring Les 'the milko' on electric mandolin, this one has a kind of James Bond theme feel to it somehow.&nbsp; Kinda overdid the Orchestral Hit from the D50, but meh it sounded so fab then

  

Babies 2

Apologies to Greg Lake!

Point of interest, this is a ukulele pure track.  Everything you hear is Uke.  The synth like sound is the sound of a uke string slowed down 1000 or so times, resampled in a synth and played with keyboard.  Quite pretty in the end!



I Believe In Father Christmas (Cover)

What you get when you rest your phone against your tiny kittens chest.  No pitch shifting used

Purr

A little Christmas something from the world of Simbosan.

I always thought this had a lovely melody, so I thought here was a great excuse!
I did it all this weekend so it's a bit rough round the edges, but 'tis just a bit of fun.

Merry Crumble Every One!

(apologies for the sound quality when streaming, the encoding seems to garble it a bit, but the DL is nice and clear)


Silent Night

I added some guitar and fake strings to a Peter Lehndorff track.  Such a beautiful song that I was itching to get my hands on it.  

There's some finger bowed guitar to make up for the fact that I don't have a pedal steel (which I would love) and some whirly leslie style guitar to balance it out.  The strings are all done with my EWI breath controller.

This is my mix of the result, Peter has some other awesome versions on his page, go check em out.

Peter Lehndorff ft Simbosan (Simbomix)

Welcome to the world of Chamber Folk!   A home made orchestra entirely faked using wind instrument controlled strings wrapped snugly around my trusty songwriting companion, my ukulele.   Uke has proved an instrumental (pun intended!) songwriting companion leading me slowly and surely to a quaint little world of gentle sounds and wistful melodies. 

I see myself as part of a new cottage industry, home grown music recorded in living rooms and bedrooms around the world, a revolution driven by the absurd power of computers.  Now imagination is the true limit.  Naturally, as with all cottage industry workers, I'm broke =)  

In general I would say I'm a right tart when it comes to instruments.&nbsp; First and foremost a guitarist at heart, with a sneakin love of the bass, having an illicit affair with a ukulele and a lewd liaison with an Akai EWI USB all strung together with Ableton. 

I love the fact that sitting at my PC in my living room I can construct all kinds of music that would have needed a studio just 10 years ago. Ain't technology grand!
