Title: Dark and Light (by Geir and Osckilo)
Post by: OsCKilO on September 28, 2009, 05:50:14 PM
Did a bit of music this afternoon when I got home from work.....


Sent it to Geir and Mark.....

G has added to it.....


I dont know what it is about yet as I am posting it before I have even listened...


You Get to listen When I do.....


G said was about "Dark" and "Light"....

"Hope" and "Despair"


When I wrote the music, I don't know how I felt..... A bit of all those I think...




This is called "Dark and Light"


Peace



Tharek and Geir

Great track.  Has a seventies Roy Harperish sound (?).  The panning is excellent.  Creates a really full soundscape with that rich guitar.  Colours you can hear sort of thing.  Nice work again.

Flipping beauty guys.  Great song for an after work project.  I hear the Roy Harper thing, late 60's british folk, maybe Pentagle, Bert Jansch, stuff like that.  Deep and mysterious sounding for sure.

One of those songs written after a post from T with some cool music. I just went for a walk around midnight, with the yoga stereo-mic clipped to my collar.... stream-of-thought lyrics recorded outdoors .... some effects added to the vox  .....

mixed and mastered on my way home and sent to T


here's the lyrics

Dark and Light
The snake is on it's feet again
I've seen it's shadow once before
it ain't a pretty sight
I don't wanna see it no more
ooooh the moon is on it's rise
the moon is on it's rise
dogs are howling
cats running ... running to hide
a desert storm is burning
burning my skin
it dries out
every tears I have within
there is no river ... no ocean in sight
the farmer's burning down the barns to get some light
there's cold water everywhere
the sun won't heat it up
the people despair

but when the sun rise and shines it's light
people's hope coming back
bright light fill their eyes
hope is back

sun is shining bringing back hope
sun is shining bring back hope
bring back hope
bring back hope

when the sun rise and shines it's light
people get back their hope

Thanks Guys!!!

I am on a mission to "Mic-up at the moment....

I have found that my accoustic tone has suffered after playing electric for a few months....



The hardest guitar I have to record is this one........


(http://www.musikatelier-lemcke.de/images/garrison%20agd-400-12.jpg)

A Garrison AG-400 12 string.........

It has a bracing system that makes it sound great live and is VERY loud......

But it is hard to "Tame" for recordings....



Geir done an amazing job singing over this recording!

I found the sound a bit overwhelming, but G just sailed through it!

A fine song again Geir and Tharek! I like this kind of mystical music. I listened it by phones and panning sounded great. I downloaded it in my mp3 player. 12 string gtr sounds good.

Love the driving, kinda celtic jangle to this. Fantastic lyrics, vocals and playing, guys. It's Psychedelic Folk to my ears, and I like the sound of it very much. A cracking collab.

Yeah!  Love the tune!!!!!  Just got done downloading it to listen to it while I type this post...  Just checked the weather and is snowing pretty darn good (still) - good thing.  Once Tammy heads out to work (sleeping right now) I'll crank my br unit and see if can add some percussion to this song, all the while hoping that it will keep snowing --- the sun will not come out untill past 9:00 am - if it keeps snowing I wont have to go to work = yeah!  Great collab!

I know exactly what you mean about taming that sound on the 12 - soooo many strings vibrating - especialy with alternate tunnings...............
Title: Re: Dark and Light (by Geir and Osckilo)
Post by: OsCKilO on October 03, 2009, 07:47:03 AM
Wow D!!!!!!

Thanks for the offer of percussion!!!!

I hope it keeps snowing!!!

Post by: Diego Ayala on October 04, 2009, 07:31:05 AM
Here is a bit of percusion with it - hope it adds to the mood...  as I kept listening to the song kept tapping the beat on my legs and thought to add a bit of percussion,


Tried to post mp3 here but not working...

Great tune guys! Geir's voice sounds amazing and like other's have already said, the guitar eally fits this tune. Is it in an opening tuning?

Sounds great regardless. I don't know how you guys do it - but keep it up!

That's a pretty cool tuning.

Check out "Treetop Flyer" from Stephen Stills for a great DADGAD tune.

I agree.  Not a naked leprechaun this time.  Something else...  Perhaps a bearded man in a wedding dress in a tree outside my house.

Thank goodness for inside jokes, osckilo.

I stalk Blooby in the hope that one day......

One day soon....

He will Marry me...

Out of love....





Then when he is sleeping... Later that year...


I will steal all of his Guitar gear and run off into the night....




But I will forever remember our Love Blooby...
