An instrumental arrangement based on Jeff Beck's interpretation of the old Curtis Mayfield song. The middle section is a quotation from Bach's 'Jesu Joy of man's desiring'. All the guitars were played in real time. Everything else was sequenced.

Early morning mist upon the river Early morning mist upon the river
One of my few attempts at 'tone painting' I guess the title is self explanatory.
Cry me a river Cry me a river
A bitter and twisted love song if ever there was one. This is an instrumental version. I entered the words into the lyric section if you want to sing along.

Rainbows and Leprechauans Rainbows and Leprechauans
This is my orchestration and arrangement of four (I think there's four) traditional Irish melodies, none of which I can remember the names of except for the last one which I think is the 'Irish Washerwoman', but I might even be wrong about that.
