Hello everyone,

Thanks for the very enthusiastic responses to our first post "London town".
This is the second one called "Memories remain".

Here's the link:

Every now and then the Melodist comes up with a nice tune (and name). "Lyrically heroic" in this case. It was generated in the Altfolk style - Swing 16th Country with a tempo of 85 beats per minute.
We liked the initial results, but decided to only use the bass, guitar and strings miditracks (no real tracks were used in this song).
The song was exported as a midi file for further editing in Cubase where special guitar and bass guitar soundfonts were loaded.
The song tempo was speeded up a bit and finally Rob added some guitar licks and a solo on his Squier electric guitar
And so came the second part: creating a proper singing line and lyrics.
Considering this arrangements folky atmosphere, we thought it should be about things happening in a small town. To be more specific: a small-town crime that was committed by a few men who are still haunted by these events today. Hence the name: "Memories remain".
As usual, Anne-Marie did all of the video editing (all footage resides in the public domain).

We hope you like our second contribution to this very friendly and stimulating forum.

Regards,
R & AM
