Music for a Found Harmonium (Unplugged Past Fest Revisited)

[Oldrottenhead]

guitar is a beauty and sounds lovely in your masterful hands, must say i was hoping you had actually found a harmonium in a skip or somesuch and rescued it. lol.

Dear James, it seems that the story behind the song goes exactly this way. From Wikipedia:

"Another famous tune featured in Malcolm (among other films) is "Music for a Found Harmonium", which Jeffes wrote on a harmonium that he had found dumped in a back street in Kyoto, where he was staying in the summer of 1982 after the ensemble's first tour of Japan. He wrote that after installing the found harmonium "in a friend's house in one of the most beautiful parts at the edge of the city," he "frequently visited this instrument during the next few months, and I remember the time fondly as one during which I was under a form of enchantment with the place and the time."

Alfredo

Wow this really has a great vibe and a fantastic tone.
A well done piece of music. Your style here shows talent.
I am gonna have this melody in my head all day.
