Description : Retweaked the spoken word a litte April 2023 Also ADDED THE POEM in the lyrics section
My Guitar and Harmonica - both treated
Reading of Poem Softly by Aaron Kramer
Main beat is a drum loop, with a kick added and one sample - all manipulated
Other versions had more percussion but not needed I think

Don't know anything about this but you lined up vocals. Everything flows into one. Nice work. Guitar is cool. What sounds like chains is awesome

Hey CC - Ive got some catch up listening to do after a few days away! Thanks for the listen and the warm feedback. The chains sound (along with the more typical guitar lead sound) is actually from my guitar!

Reminds me of something the Clash would have done on the Sandinista album. This is different, very cool!

Sometimes it's worth going back into an idea and reworking it and using the mixing skills you've acquired in the meantime to get a better mix.

Good chit Ian!

Hey Wayne

Thanks mate - I think the original mix Id used a new FX that cluttered the sound on the poem, I thought Id lost the stems but found a couple of rendered parts so I was able to do some reworking

Sorry for the slow reply

I've listened to fair bit of accompanied spoken word, but nothing that's sounded quite like this. Really cool mate!

Thanks Rita - first time Ive tried recording with the harmonica so was happy with the final result - although it's not dazzling playing I did think it sounded kind of cool too : )

This track I finished today ( mixing and mastering ).
Kinda dark electronic and atmospheric track.
Vocals and lyrics by Alaa Ezzeddine ( the acapella from LM ). If you're claustrophobic, don't listen to this one :) :) :)
