Brilliant instrumentalism with your unique voice...this is a soaring track with soundtrack attitude (for me)...great western feeling with lots of dust and gunpowder...:-)

Hats off, Danke

Thank you. That's very much appreciated. I still get that stab of unease whenever I upload a track. So it's good to know that people enjoy it :)

WOW 2 tracks!! Overwhelming, I mean what are you going to do with all those LOL! Can you play ukulele like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtwXdKkO75E 3:D> Muhahahaha!! Still waiting for your duet with Joan Baez ;) Well done TA, I love folk.

Yeah, I meant to write two takes for each instrument. But I was so tired that the only thing I could proof read were the Z's spewing from my mouth.
Alas, I cannot play ukulele like that. I had to sacrifice a field of goats and half my family just so I can use Ableton with reasonable efficiency. I fear if I invest more of my resources in into improving my musical talent, I will have no one left to play to!

Brilliant!
I would like to rearrange the last sentence "Out into the blue?" to sound more as and with the same pace as the guitar in the beginning (00:09), maybe just a tone below.
Just a thought.
Really liked this song. Great change-ups.

Cheers/ SJ =)

Genius sending that cassette player down the river with the auto reverse! Erik's still chasing it!! That door opening is great, I use that alot. Opening the door on the horror :p I stumbled upon this cool house under the operahouse, as I poke my head in the door, your sitting at Erik's organ jamming away!

Hey, I must say that this is beautiful! I've been into folk longer than almost any other sort of music, and I think you've done excellent work in song writing, performance, and recording! Gives me some reminders of Nick Drake, for example, who is one of my favorites. Enjoyed each instrumental part, and your vocals sounded great! I love magnetic tape very much, and would have a lot of fun with an 8 track! Sold my 4 track many years ago, something which I regret a bit. Happy that I found this song of yours! Thank you for letting us hear it! Fave!

Thank you very much! I really loved recording this way. It was much more hands on and allowed me to focus on writing and performance rather than predominantly on production.
I plan to make more folk-style compositions in the future, so watch this space.

know what you mean about the musical funk T.A....something always comes along to inspire eventually...but really like what you have created here in the meantime...its quite an artistic accomplishment to compose a piece of music that conveys the feeling you describe this well...particularly like that rich piano...could have listened a lot longer so I took it for a couple of spins....great job...definite fav...Ed

Cheers Tumbleweed. I'm going to do more with it soon, just need to wait out this blip in my creative flow. Hopefully it will not be too long!

Folk also isn't at all my sort of thing but this has a very authentic and warm acoustic sound. It's a million miles from the sort of stuff I make.

Piano sounds good and kind of triumphant with some of those chords you let ring out.

0:59 nice higher piano notes and walking groove.

Guitar is delicate.

Doesn't sound like it's been played to a click.

Good late night chilling music.

I'm glad you enjoyed the track. I did start using a click but I thought it sounded better somehow without it, more genuine. Thank you for listening.

Cheers.

I see you found your way out of the catacombes. Is that your tape that was found abandonded in the camera? Had to ditch it and run because of a lasagna shortage huh?! When I first stated playing we used a cassette player to record hahaha Eventually my friend got a 4 track recorder. 8 tracks wow! What are you going to do with all those? Sounds good :D I love folk. Maybe next you can do a duet with Joan Baez? Maybe get Erik on organ.
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 15th Oct 2015 - 10 years ago
It was a close call. Erik was on to me. Luckily I found some old Sarah Brightman recordings from the 80's; so I pressed play and threw the 8-track into a conveniently placed canoe and sent it downstream. He will be chsing that for a while...

I lived with Tascam 8 track decks for years & wore out the outside heads I used them so much...it makes an honest musician of the user...nowhere to hide...just the music...I noticed the acoustic was nicely recorded but your vocal is the star T.A...good for you....a big well done to you...enjoyed this one...Ed
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 15th Oct 2015 - 10 years ago
Thank you TW. It was difficult to get the takes right at first, but as soon as I relaxed and learned to love the soft hiss of the tape deck, I really enjoyed the experience. Also, I'm relieved that you liked the vocals, I always feel nervous about showcasing my voice. Though I'm starting to use it more and more lately.

Cheers,

Folk isnt really my drug of choice but this was an awesome listen, was perfect to just chill out to at nearly 2am in the morning.
I dont think im really qualified to give any advice on how to improve this due to my lack of knowledge on the genre but all in all its a great listen :)

toastedavalanche replied 15th Oct 2015 - 10 years ago
Thank you Xyllent. I don't think genre matters so much as long as the music doesn't grate against your mood. Thankfully you were in the right mood for this track, so all is good :D

on A Haunting by toastedavalanche
All any of us can ever ask is that our music paint an audio picture for the listener, to take them where we want them to go. You did that and did it really, really well. I wanted a lot more of this one, but I can always hit the "play" button again, haha.

Seriously, brilliant work. I think you have a real shot at winning this competition. Well done TA. I hope all is well.

Yeah, it seems to be the consensus that the track should've been longer. I think I made a fair trade-off with the door opening and closing, because you can just hit reply and ride the haunted house all over again. YAY!

Thank you for your wonderful praise. I'm really glad that you enjoyed the track.

That was excellent dude... The organ always has the ability to scare people, including myself... Good job sir! :)

Organ always adds to the scare. the way you brought in the chorus was really nice. the "welcome home" bits are def scary. nice job.

Thanks! I couldn't make a horror track without an organ. It's just so iconically haunting.
