First tune I've composed for ages due to bronchiectasis, which means I get infections week after week. Anyhoo the tune was composed for a dear family friend ( details over on YT ) RTs used........... RealTracks in style: 533:Bass, Electric, 12-8 Crystal Sw 065 RealTracks in song: 2870:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CelticAirDave Ev 085
MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2058:Strings, Rhythm CelticAir Ev 085 Strings were multi layered in reason 10 and the accordion melody was played on my Roland FRX-4 digital accordion using my own tuning. Comments as always most welcome.
Pretty piece of music—very old world, very calming and serene; haunting in its beauty. Could easily serve as the backing to a movie, short film, and the like. Nice to have you back . . . and wishing you all the best on the health front. Stay well!
Graham, I have some idea of your tribulation with bronchiectasis as my mother-in-law lived most of her life with it. If the antibiotics don't slow you down the infection does. A VERY calm, serene and pretty. The layered strings work a treat. I found that doing some radical EQ to each layer brought out the differences a little to enhance the ensemble feel. Lovely stuff.
A really lovely and relaxing piece. Those celtic trills in the lead-lines are beautiful as is the overall progression and the way it wraps up. Really nice one.

Hi Ray and many thanks for the comment. I've about 4 layers of strings & choirs one panned left one panned right & so on. I get as much enjoyment out of creating the mix as I do playing it these days
So sorry to hear about your health! The song you posted is absolutely lovely. Here's hoping you get better! I especially love how you layered the strings together.
Oh my word, this is SO beautiful. Sorry to hear about your ill health, and so sorry to hear of the reason you wrote this song for. But ... it's a stunning, stunning track - beautiful and uplifting - exactly what I needed this morning! God bless - it has really struck a chord with me, so thanks for sharing!

A very sweet celebration of life, furry. It makes me close my eyes and drift, while letting go of all the physical burdens and embracing all that is truly important. Thank you! Stay well!
Graham, Beautiful relaxing piece of music. Nice accordion playing! I bet, it is times lighter then traditional instruments, so it does not feel like a workout in the gym after playing Thank you for sharing!

Hi Ember, thanks as always for you comment. Just finished another one and I'm damned if I can think of a title.
Hi Misha, yeah it's a hell of a lot lighter than the other accordions I own. Easier to play and it does away with the need for midi when playing live. It can be a right pain at times getting the sound right in many expanders I've used. The main beauty of it is that you can tune the instrument yourself to your own liking. Still havn't heard all the sounds on this beast yet. Thanks again for your comments

Graham, Lots of feeling in the sweep of the melody. Its good to hear your accordion again and have you back posting more celtic elegance!

Hi Robert, thanks for the comment. I've been out of the loop for a while as I just wasn't in the mood to compose, but then a few months ago I had two or three requests from people asking me to compose tunes for them or for loved ones. Have done about 1/2 doz or so this years so far.
Thank you for sharing!
