The Valiant B's
A song by Leonard Cohen performed by my good friend, Steve Smith. (not, The Steve Smith of The Smivets, here on Soundclick). This is a song from the album, The Songs Of Leonard Cohen.
An experimental 'Tribal' piece created for the Coconut Blues Club Challenge (April 2011). A musical collage of keyboard generated sounds, drum beats, bass guitar, and guitar. All given a psychedelic flavoured mix.
An acoustic 12 string guitar based tune with non-acoustic embellishments. A gentle stroll in the countryside beside a babbling brook on a perfect Summer's day.
A gentle 'acoustic' ambient piece using my Yamaha PSR 275 keyboard to mimic the sound of a Lyre, Pan-pipes and a 'heavenly' male/female choir. I've also used a couple of natural 'outdoor' samples; crickets chirping and bees 'buzzing'.
Ambient / experimental and sometimes, quieter pieces of music. but that's not to say that things may get louder from time to time . . .This page was to have been a place to put music that wasn't typical of either Major Snagg or Big Sleep recordings. It's a little redundant now. Just look on the Major Snagg page ... I put it all there nowadays.Have you performed in front of an audience?Bill Nelson, Brian Eno, The Orb, Soft Machine (from about album #7) Progressive Rock flights of fancy.Guitars, drums, keyboards, e-bow, harmonics, voices, samples...anything that is suitable for the musical idea.If you hear it in your head and you like it, have a go at recording it. When you've done that, it can live in the real world and be enjoyed over and over
