Topic: When the rain falls/Afghanistan

Hi All
Not done much in the way musical composition over the last few months. I guess I've not felt up to it for various reasons Been playing my guitar though and nailed down some old tunes though Clasical gas still eludes me smile

"When the rain falls" is a pure ambient piece which is new it can be heard here.

I entered "Afghanistan" in Ourstage last month and the piece came 5th out of 350 so it sort of inspired me to get back to writing again. It can be heard here.

Hi Phill
I think I'm back in the saddle but horse is still a bit reluctant to move smile ..........
Afghanistan I did a while back now when the UK was just getting involved in that now seeming unending conflict that has taken so many lives.
I've got a few tracks spinning around so something reasonable may come out of them..
Thanks for encouraging comments.


Hey Tuba
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.




old doll glad I'm still a hit with the "Ladies"  So Handel's water music would be a no no then...... smile
It will be pleasure to send the tracks to you.
Thanks for your comments.

Re: When the rain falls/Afghanistan

Thanks Ark, your music is always a little different and a pleasant change from the usual guitar/vocals that most of us do.

Keep in the saddle, with a few words of encouragement and pressure from your heels in it's flanks I am sure you can get the horse to move so we can have some more,

Re: When the rain falls/Afghanistan

I always enjoy your music Ark....Seriously think you could sell this to the accupunture studios they play this while youre being treated....Good show youngman

I thought ; If I had one idea,
and took it from beginning to end.
I would try another.

Re: When the rain falls/Afghanistan

Hi Roger
Thanks for the encouragement. I will get that old nag to move. smile


Hey Marc
Thanks for the comment. I just might and try and do that.
I'm hoping to get about an Hour and half of ambient stuff together to make a decent CD then test the water so to speak.

Thanks Lane
One of the things about writing an instrumental is the freedom it sometimes gives to the listener to form in their own minds the images the piece gives them.
