Hello everyone
My son and I have finally finished our latest album Autumn Melody... yes it's a bit late for Autumn (for Fall for those of you of a North American persuasion), so let's see it as a celebration of what we have lost - a sonic memory if you will. Or just my inability to maintain a work/life balance and finish it earlier. You choose.
Anyway this album is even more gentle and genteel than the last, and thoroughly abuses the EHX Mel 9 pedal in all its glory... on every track. We hope you like flute / cello and drone compositions as much as we do
Thanks for listening.

I generally dig the stuff you post, but I particularly enjoyed this! Faux-flute noodles for all!

Thanks very much

The world needs more faux flutes!

Nope. I've stopped playing music in the traditional sense, and instead just play rhythm games on my PS4.

Ouch. A sad loss indeed

Hopefully you'll return to creating things next year?

Now that sounds promising

I've got the same - once I've got through the family stuff at Christmas I will be recording / mixing a lot, and also hopefully fixing some broken reverb pedals... I hope you get the productivity you wish

Just getting around to listening to this now, moid. Top notch as usual!

Very serene.

Thanks Chank, the gentle mood is due to me mostly being too fried after work to do anything really noisy/fast/heavy and just wanting to do something calmer... my son (who has far too much energy!) still wants to rock out, so we finished a 'rock' tune today to make up for the lack of rock in the last album

You're welcome, moid. It's good to play a wide range of music. There's room for it all.
You guys can always compromise in what you play as well.

I think every track we play is a compromise between me making weird and random noises and my son doing his very best to make what he thinks rock music sounds like (or should sound like)... it's a musical battle a lot of the time! I think he would agree that his rock has been compromised

...and our music is now comprised of a mixture of the sounds we both want to make. I think the end result is definitely different; neither of us would make these sounds if we played solo. Maybe collaboration is a better term? We haven't (yet) had any rock n roll arguments that have resulted in smashed equipment and broken egos!
