When spring peepers sing
The blob goblin rings
It's bells

To awaken a flood 
Of early spring mud
Since blob goblins love
To dance in the mud

Check out Handmade Moment's second single, "This Is Your Captain Speaking" from their upcoming @Jumpsuit-Records release Paw Paw Tree.

What makes the homey Ozark stew of Handmade Moments so very nourishing, so perfectly spiced? Partake and be effortlessly guided through wistful and deep channels of musical flavor, rich with hearty roots and fungi, vegetables home-gardened and watered from the sacred well of American musics: jazz old-time country blues soul hip-hop rock (and it don't stop). Glistening with insight and whimsy, long-simmering with righteous compassion and beauty, Handmade Moments are a fearless all-weather duo - complementary spirits of musical tightrope and magic - serving up entrée to their secret river of goodness.

This Is Your Captain Speaking

My brother in law Max recently asked me to write a song for my sister for Mother's Day. The song was to be written from the perspective of her newborn son, Charlie. His request immediately sparked lyrics in my mind and I wrote this song an hour later, and then called my brother Collin to help me record it.

take hold i feel it close
the heat is rising melting snow
behold the subtle fold
emotions flaring when you feel low
controlled and grabbing hold of all the frozen thoughts i know
arose the once old rose from the falling frost that comes and goes

seeing the afterglow 
i keep my distance i let it go
the undertow will take us home
tomorrow comes and today will flow
prosper, take it go
it doesn't matter if im alone
because i know you'll make it
to the fire next to the radio

you'll make it we will never break it
i call your name through the stereo
you care i know
your heart it shows
the glow remains from months ago
embedded into these words i say
the images and focus of the brighter days
in bed i lay and hear you say
'the snow has came and it made me stay'

slowly counting time till it runs, snow is running out
feel the heat come from your heart and how it's rising now
slowly counting time till it runs, snow is melting out
feel the heat come from your heart and how it's rising now
laying in my bed in my head i hear you saying how
the snow has come into our lives and you're staying now
laying in my bed in my head i hear you saying how
the snow has come into our lives and you're staying now

laying in my bed in my head

We have never been into pop! But Elegy is one of those tunes, a little bit accoustic a little bit too darned finely produced to turn our backs on! 
It's sweet, gorgeous and has that Liz Fraser type thing going on.
If Jeff buckley were alive today he would turn in his grave but its a good thing he isnt. Its the track that all at the 44100 have fallen in love with. Just a little bit. A well produced track which dances over convention. 
It shoud be made of flowers and glass and all the things that tracks shoud be made ofbut without the nonsense that comes along with a 4x4 kick drum,and sometimes an accoutic guitar with a simple girls voice works. sometimes, more than life itself.

Inside Out

PREMIERE | Zuricha - Matches Elegy feat. Russudan Meipariani

Instruments:
lyre harp, Doug Tipple flute

The Lyre Of The Shire

An original waltz.

Instruments:
shruti box, Killarney whistle, sleigh bells, Doug Tipple flute, bongos, glockenspiel, jaw harp, wooden spoons, guiro, tongue snaps

The Luminous Gnome

I really enjoy the "Flotsam and Jetsam" chapter in "The Lord of the Rings", where Pippin's pipe is smoked during a very peaceful and silly feeling moment of storytelling and reuniting, so I named this original tune for that moment.

Instruments:
tenor guitar, Parks high D whistle, Kentucky mandolin, ghungroo bells, tinghsa bells, a regular bell, sleigh bells, and clapping

The Hobbit Pipe Hornpipe

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
