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 :)

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. :rock:

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!
