A return to the sound of my 2020 album "Them Hybrid Folk"

Mood Exhibit - New Hybrid Folk

I'm fed up 
of those who sell morning and night
of despair 

I don't take it well
When they try to make me believe 
that red is black

it hurts me bad
to see that we forget to do what s good 
when everything goes wrong

I'm fed up 
of those who always strike
where it hurts me

and I'm enraged
when the vultures of the weakest
feast

I feel bad 
when they want to erect to the most vulgar 
a pedestal

I still want 
to believe in another life 
in other joys  
I dream that we can still build 
a new world, 
that we can finally change history

Initial thoughts on the drums. The whole drums were created by the on bord pro logic ai.
I just let them play tweaking a around a bit.

This is a rework of an old track. I wanted to make parts of it a little more upbeat and also add some orchestral elements. 
A little nod to the last UK bank holiday before the 'C' word (I'm not saying it yet!!) and the end of summer 2023.

Free download if you like it.

Thank you for listening 💛

Spirits Of Chill

This composition started with a few earnest and honest piano chords. What emerged was a personal attempt to deal with loss through electronic symphony. 

More will come...

The title of this track is a reference to the wartime term "no quarter", which also means "take no prisoners". The 'blood' red flag is often used as a symbol of this horrible practice and, in fact, it is considered a war crime to refuse to spare the life of anybody - i.e. to refuse quarter. The term "No Quarter" prompted me to research the meaning, which is where the concept for the song title came from.

In the original 1999 version of this tune, the only instrument was the echo-y electric piano sound, which was influenced heavily by the song "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin. This is another tune I'd recommend listening to with headphones because of the heavy panning movement throughout. 

(special thanks to Chris [cgmaness] for the thoughtful perspective that reminded me of this incredible video, which speaks for itself. more like screams!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x7FGbW3IVc) 

Make music not war.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.
