"Even When It Rains"

Tom Laukemper & Mhyst - "Even When It Rains"

Johnny’s on the Water was learned from the singing of Appalachian folk singer Jean Ritchie (1922 - 2015). It twists the archetypal story of a woman left behind by a sailor, the singer rejecting grief and finding empowerment: ‘if he can live without me, I can live without him’. This line became the heart of our arrangement. 

We created this arrangement in residence at Snape Maltings in 2022. In slowing down the tempo, destabilising the rhythm, and replacing Ritchie’s sparse dulcimer accompaniment with an ensemble of modular synths, guitars and affected strings, we explore the way that the open sea warps our understanding of time and distance. The trumpet solo was played by Lissie Daly, a tireless campaigner for women in brass.

Song: Bedridden (Old Photo on a Rolltop Desk)
Album: The Archive

"I originally wrote/recorded this song around 2008, and it's been through a few badly recorded iterations to get to the most recent recording from last Saturday (04.13.24). For quite some time, I've wanted to do this song justice with regard to recording quality and overall production, but it is difficult to improve the quality without losing the authenticity of the "nostalgic/memory" feel. I did my best to make this work: first thing was to record the acoustic guitar with an old tape recorder, then capture the playback of the tape recording with a condenser microphone and use this "warbled" recording as the backbone upon which to layer acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and drums. Had the house to myself for a few hours last Saturday, which is very rare, so this is what became of my day. More improvements to be made..."
