. . . More Bits and Pieces pt. 2 . . .

Apparently I have found a flaw in this blog system. I has a maximum file size per post, so it won't stream longer songs if they are grouped together. Interesting.

This is the newest piece. Consider it one part Jethro Tull, one part Schubert, and one part of something much, much darker. I present Wintersong, a melody to end the ages. (Note: this one might be a bit quieter. I haven't bothered mastering any of these tracks yet.)

. . . More bits and pieces. . .

The new studio setup is coming together. Realistically,  as my guitar rig progresses, so does my recording setup. I have a couple of new tricks for my mics, and new speakers for my guitar cab on the way. Ted Weber designed, for anyone who might care. A few more pieces to get my guitars back into tip-top shape, and then I'll be looking at new pres and a control surface. There's a nice synergy going on there. Oh, and there seems to be a new part to it too. Pulled out a book of classical scores the other day, which heavily influenced one of the songs below. It came together rather nicely throughout the course of a single day, which is kind of unusual, so I picked up a book of Lieder songs by Brahms. He's been one of my favourites as far as instrumental music goes, and The German Requiem is rather nice, but I think I'm going to have to develop a separate opinion about his Lieder as they have a different feel.


Anyhow, first we have a piece with working title "Old Habits". This one's been in the cooker for a bit, and I just can't seem to get words for the verses to sit quite right.
