Normet 2013 Strumming Chords in Bamble geir, jarle and james (& video montage)

Geir · September 30, 2013, 04:36:59 AM

and then there were three.

edit: oldrottenhead here didn't realise i was signed in geir's account oops.

tim , mike, tharek and bjorn had all left for home. geir's hut was eerily silent. geir was mixing and mastering the songs from earlier in the day.

i got out my micro br and mikes kaossilator, recorded some drums and deep bassy synth from the kaossilator then added two thumb strummed acoustic guitar tracks on geir's morgan acoustic. geir then transferred the individual tracks to his br800. jarle then added more drums from his roland kit. i then sang about my experiences here (my vocal chords are wrecked)geir then used a zoom g2.1u effects pedal that i was gifted by ferryman (nigel i have passed it onto geir and he loves it) he plugged in his 7 string electric and played some spacey lead guitar.

bamble is the location of geir's hut.

strumming chords in bamble
cracked vocal chords
broken strings and fingers
hey i'm running out of words
the moose has all been eaten
the beer has all been supped
our friends have left for london
we said adieu then hugged
so one more day together
two vikings and a scot
still strumming chords in bamble
we'll give it all we've got
the moose has all been eaten
no whisky vodka rum
our friends have left for london
but we'll still carry on
strumming chords in bamble
sharing the last of the wine
the sun shines on still water
frozen in time
the moose has all been eaten
so we feast on mike's cheese
think of tim and tharek
and bjorn and robert
till next year

My Kaossilator and my cheese? You buggers!

This is very atmospheric.

An amazingly atmospheric autobiography. Totally braw guys, but in my head I changed your last line to
"& maybe Hook to"

This is indeed a really lovely and dreamy piece. That guitar sounds great, I am glad the Zoom found a good home!!

Did you hunt the moose yourself.....?
