Whose is that haunting voice, beckoning you to follow him? (What's the worst that could happen?)

In every waking moment, we are challenged to cherish or overlook the blessings within and around us.  Each of the songs in this collection hinges on whether "hidden gold" is discovered, ignored, embraced, or buried.  May you find some that shines for you.

Drake Oranwood (aka Eric Schrager) is a songwriter, singer, and medieval/renaissance enthusiast who brings some modern sensibilities to original songs set long ago and far away, with lush arrangements that transport the listener.

In the Society for Creative Anachronism, Drake is part of the bardic community, where original and period performances are shared at fire circles and waysides for weary travelers.  This collection owes a debt to many generous and creative souls who offered their talents, their voices, their ears, and their wisdom to help bring it to life.

The proceeds from this album are donated to early intervention programs for children with special needs, a cause near and dear to his heart.

Hidden Gold

Call Me Will

Call Me Will (feat. Nuri Olsen)

Glass rain & iron gale, a sound storm made solely from acoustic, off-tune instruments and items discovered in my room, plus some breezes of added reverb. Not much processed, most of the tracks just coincidentally fit together.

Glasregn & järnkuling

(Nocturne of snow)
Komponerad under våren 2012 och framförd för första gången på Rytmus pianouppspel den 22 maj 2012. Hyfsat stressad inpelning, njut.
Men finns verkligen ordet "nokturn" i svenskan? Nu finns det.

Nokturn av snö

want to make an EP in the future and this might be on it

Eldvaktens visa
Text och musik: Solvej von Malmborg

Skymningen kommer med dunkel och kyla,
skuggorna växer i skogens bryn.
Långt bort i fjärran hörs vargarna yla,
höja sin klagan mot mörka skyn.

Flammorna slår, vakan rår.
Hotet ifrån nattens väsen består.
Värmen skyddar sinne och kropp;
Så länge det finns ved, finns det hopp.

Vandrare, vilse på okända leden, 
säg, har du skådat vår lågas sken?
Här runt vår eld råder nattliga freden.
Kom, vila upp dina trötta ben!

  Flammorna slår, vakan rår...

Trollen har sett hur det lyser i gläntan;
Vi måste hålla vår eld igång.
Tids nog får odjuren bryta sin väntan,
tids nog blir gryning och fågelsång.

  Flammorna slår, vakan rår...
