    Took a folk search in the tracks and first one was this. Not surprisingly, I am in on this piece, the flute is the icing of the cake, we abuse all kind of them. The voice is somewhat fragile, and detained, tho it is there. In the lows it goes whisper-like sometimes, but it adds to the mood to me. It makes it sensitive and emotional. Good work. Maybe needless to say, but such music feels more like home to me than much modern stuff. But I am a mummy, so to each, his own. xD

    The search you took was prob set for most recently uploaded so naturally mine was at the top. Also there were no flutes used or abused in the track. The sound you are hearing is a Moog Theremini theremin. The preset I used sounds like a flute, granted, but I never touched the instrument while playing it, unlike a flute. I'm not much of a singer, just do it cuz I can and it adds to my tracks to have singing on them.

    Thanks Gothi!

    Awesome! Vocals pair nicely with the instrumentation. I think you have elevated the genre a bit! That ending is pure sweetness. And, now for a bit of a critique (If I may)... there are parts where you vocal races ahead of the music. If you were to re-record your vocal and get it in the pocket, you'd have a flawless song! Well done, Wayne.

    LovePeace&Light,

    It's interesting you mentioned the timing of the singing, good feedback.

    I actually did that on purpose. I've listened to countless live performances on youtube and watched so many performers do the same thing. Whether it's done on purpose to break up the monotony of singing the song the same way every time or just the breaking up of everything coming in on the beat, it is commonly done. To sing a song and break up the phrasing so that it isn't always perfect and on time is perfectly acceptable. It just makes the ears work a little harder to hear something that is expected but isn't necessarily wrong either. It's just how I chose to sing it and I re sang it twice to get it right, he. Just my interpretation in the moment. But thanks for inquiring about that.

    If you listen even closer, every thing is moving in the song, delays and phasers were put on everything but the drums and automated to some extent.

    Thanks Mykael! Hope my explanation helped you see into why I did that.

    Cheers!

    I remember finding my first gold neckless while i was metal detecting, I was so excited. It was half an ounce of 18 carat gold worth about $1,200. I got the fever then!

    Thanks!

    Hi Wayne,
    hope you are well and everything is alright. When I have time I am looking for the news in The New York Times and I am very excited because of the Midterm Election. I am honestly I am a bit scared about the political situation in your country. Hope for you all that you will be united once again (better than devided, everywhere and anytime).

    But let us come to the important things of live.

    The sound of the guitar is very nice and very well played. The Flute let me remind on something in Western Films, the indigene Americans.
    Your lyrics are great as usual like your pub made voice.
    Always a pleasure. It is a dream that never gets old.
    Cheers, greetings and stay safe

    Thanks Matthias! I just had another hurricane come through with some minimal damage to my roof. It passed through earlier today.

    I am holding tight the notion our country comes to it's senses and we fight back fascism in my country. The same thing happened during the 1940's aided by Hitler spies. Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra podcast that is out now and covers the whole story of what happened. It's an excellent set of episodes that show what happened then almost exactly mimics Trump's fascist try at overturning the govt. It's a must listen for every american.

    That's actually how I feel about the theremin track or as you referred to it as a flute.

    Thanks!

    Hi Wayne, It's a very compelling melodic well played and most importantly well sung track. Wonderful! To be honest, I've never heard of the theremini. But it sounds incredibly good. Those high notes gliding into each other - fantastic. Also technically a super designed well mixed and mastered song. All attention! Greetings Manuela

    Honestly, I had never knew there was a theremini until I saw it on Sweetwater, a musical supply shop online. I thought I would have to pay more for a used theremin but this item was found! Easy to set up and fairly intuitive to play.

    Thank you for your nice words!

    Whidbey Island is just north of Seattle. I chose that and Portland as landing places to and from the Klondike, sounds reasonable enough to me.

    I am going through another tropical storm as I type, windy and rainy now, worse to come today and tomorrow. Hope my temporary roof from the last hurricane holds up.

    The theremin is like the harmonica, all the right notes are there, it's just finding them with the right hand then, with about 20 seconds of practice you can hone in on where the good notes are. Over 20 scales to chose from which is handy. Gonna be fun seeing how i can utilize this in my music.

    Be safe!

    I am very happy with the overall sound and feel of the song. The theremin adds quite a bit of that feeling I think.

    Take care!

    Too cool - nice tune, great vocal performance, love the instrumentation
    The theremini is 650 bucks in Australia! I had better do some of that backlog of invoicing ; )

    Thanks!

    Oh wow, that's a lot. It was $100 cheaper a year ago, now $400 in America. Totally fun to play, I actually played the notes in the scale I chose. It's versatile in being able to choose the root note and scale and displays the note you are playing, which is very helpful.

    Folk tunes always hit differently for the story alone. This one is no different. Great job, Wayne.

Description : Update Nov 11.: Mastered
Many might be surprised to hear music here that lies somewhere between chanson and folk.
We wanted to write a song that wasn't dominated by synth or electric sounds. The text was written by Claudia Boekels, the music largely by Angelica Schwanitz and to a lesser extent by Manuela Boekels.

We were especially looking forward to the wonderful collaboration with Tanja Wirtz, who has great talent on the accordion, and Danior, who can make his violin cry.

Description : What happens when a short but hypnotic celtic intro turns into something completely different? The most noteworthy collaborator on this track (yeah you guessed, it's Tumbleweed) answered correctly to this question! A newly patented musical genre is what happens...yes..."SlovenianCelticCowboyMusic" is born. Sometimes we just have to cut off from being too serious...The version presented here has been carefully chosen from 4856 or so mixes...
As always all thanks to my dear friend Ed who makes such wonders possible to happen.....

Description : I was told to do a better description this time. Blast you, Dr. Evil! You know descriptions are my one weakness!

I just couldn't get this one to sound right but Micky added accompaniment that sounds great. All music is by him. This song is the 1st modernized song I know of using Mohegan language.

Translations are in the lyrics.

Please do let us know what you think about it, and if you are now afraid of zombie children in meadows.

Description : This is a country/folk track in a genre I don't do much, so I thought I'd give it a go. It also has some instruments I don't use much, namely the banjo, mandolin and fiddle. I got the title from a movie I saw a few months ago. Hope you enjoy, Scott.

Description : Kindofa '60s work song. Another song from my collab with Sunny War. This is the first song on our album HELP which we should get done this month. This song started with looperman-l-0498019-0072501-tumbleweed-90-g-slow-train-rhythm, a great rhythm guitar riff; the song just emerged out of it without effort. Props to Tumbleweed and his great guitar loops which I have often used. Then there were three other loops, drum, piano and lead guitar. Sunny replaced the guitar loops with her acoustic picking, using Tumbleweed's loop as the inspiration. The drum and piano loops remain: looperman-l-1703213-0101854-deathsquadktown-1994-inspired-hip-hop-drum-beat 90, looperman-l-0592478-0101770-designedimpression-piano-loop-will-power-94 g. Thank you, loopers! Feedback please!

Description : Start the new year off with a folk song about a train, a song about taking the long way home. This one is for Stobe the Hobo, RIP.

Description : I wanted to do something different like i do normaly. And I think that I was successful.
A -drum n chill folk song-. A kind of hippie music in colorful garb of the modern era.
At the end of the track there is a bonus.
Something in the way of bonfire music.

Description : Totally different story here as I wondered if I manage to capture the real feel of the genuine folk music which I love as much as the electronic one. I also added some classical twist like oboe or short cellos arpeggio. Very basic arrangement though, still feel more confident with pure electronic sounds.
