what a sound!!! very impressive work...enjoy reading the description, too...
Wow - thanks! I always try to add a short prose or poem piece after I have finished the track - a kind of self-debriefing!
this is worth the way up,love it
And there's an appropriate squall for the heights!
: eagle call phrases on the Paul!
There's a little clarity on the mountain today!
love that low end as it lurks along...!
- 5 string bass with the attack taken out
what an articulate squall
: Yes - secret there is that that phrase is backwards guitar - just that one phrase - very alchemical
i picture beakers in your stidio. Bunsen burners and alembics.
: It's funny you should say that as I first looked at having an alchemical theme for this one. If it wasn't for the Les Paul calling out from the mountain side it would have gone the way of the dark smithie
what a cast of sonic characters
: Yeah - quite a few there - two acoustics, a semi-acoustic and a four pick up Jag u-like in the back ground - along with bass and percussion, and above it all the mighty Les Paul.
Excellence
Starlight revealed
: It is actually quite shy and blushes amethyst when the curtain is pulled back like this
Stunning wonderful cacti
: they flourish in the driest of environments
lyrics
Ascent of Sky Mountain
Everything tells you ‘no’ and blocks your stumble.
‘Better to stay at home and avoid adventure.
These climes are not for you, nor can you climb so,
To reach such giddy heights, where the air will be
All too thin, and the silence will deafen you,
And the light, blind you, and the sleet bind you.
You will be deaf, dumb and blind as you try to climb’.
No matter, climb I will, for I know that there is something
Beyond these senses, and that there are heights beyond heights,
And sounds beyond sounds, and scents beyond scents,
And sights beyond sights, and beyonds beyond beyonds,
And ascents beyond ascents ...
Ad infinitum.
