Having gone through some significant health issues and related life changes, this is the first song that I completed (recorded, produced, and mixed) in its entirety since these issues occurred.

All of the instruments and vocals were played/programmed/sung by me. Mixing and production were completed with the assistance of my good friend and long time friend and musical associate Mike Holtzinger.

I absolutely love this song written by Train lead singer Pat Monahan and recorded by the great band Train. According to Pat, the song came to him in a dream inspired by his recently past Mother.

I've long had a great admiration for Train and particularly Pat's vocal skills, but doing my best to recreate this vocal (and admittedly falling well short), gave me a new appreciation for Pat's truly great vocal phrasing and incredible ability to convey delicate emotional nuance. Despite my lesser talent, I enjoyed playing and recording this song immensely, and I hope you enjoy my version as much as I enjoyed making it.

For the Musical Geeks out there (or the just plain curious), here are the instruments (all virtual) I used:

   Piano was Spectrasonics Keyscape LA Custom C7,
   Organ was IK Multimedia Hammond B-3X,
   Drums were Superior Drummer 3 Hansa Marble Room, Twin Shell,
   Bass was Toontrack EZBass Modern, Legend 810 Picked,
   Acoustic Guitar was Amplesound Ample Guitar 12,
   Electric Guitar 1 was Amplesound Ample Guitar TC through TH-u Overloud,
   Electric Guitar 2 was Amplesound Ample Guitar SC through TH-u Overloud, and
   Strings were Spitfire Chamber Strings via Native Instruments Kontakt.

All vocals were through a Telefunken AR-51 straight in to an RME Babyface Pro interface.

Keyboard used for Midi input was an Akai MPK49. Also worthy of mention is the Behringer X-Touch One without which, the recording of the vocals would have been virtually impossible.

List do

Dary wiosny

Ashes represents the death of an older self in the face of navigating love and loss. It’s a song about feeling a strong sense of connection with the other person after they’re no longer around. Ashes treads a more barebones acoustic route than Mali's previous offerings, combining folk and dream pop influences, whilst still retaining a subtle nod to the more mellow tracks on her previous album such as "Horoscope" and "Really? Not Really."
The single was recorded and produced in a record span of 24 hours at Island City Studios in Mumbai. The track features Jishnu Guha on guitars and Mali on piano and synths.
The music video was filmed at a castle which was constructed in the year 1149 and features Mali walking through its rooms and corridors in a single take while performing the song. The video is due for release on December 2nd 2022.
