New Material (Part 2)

Well progress of sorts has been made!
Following the recent live debut of Glen Brielle (and surviving my ice bucket challenge), I have managed to demo record 2 new tracks - "Where Is The Laughter" and "Invisible".

Where Is The Laughter is a very light acoustic and synthy type feel with some lovely sound clips loaded in at the intro - a bit like Steve Hackett's "Carry On Up The Vicarage". Invisible is much darker but sounds awesome even in its demo format - programmed drums, fretless bass, nylon string acoustic and Hammond organ sounds.

Next up, I've now completed the first draft of lyrics for "Misty Mountain" - now called "Mystic Mountain" - and "Night Perfume". So far I think the lyrics are quite strong but they may change as I start to put them to music. The concept of "Mystic Mountain" includes an instrumental mid section which, hopefully, may feature some of the gorgeous clarsach playing of the brilliant Pippa Reid-Foster. Perhaps even a debut of my flute playing!

Next up is "The Source" in which the theme is in my head - and which may feature electric sitar and pan pipes!

Watch this space for further updates.....

FURTHER UPDATE (28.8.14)

Another lyric written today, the concept came together for "The Source". Strangely this one just seemed to flow, to write itself, in about half an hour! It was never intended to have any darkness of feel but has ended up being quite a positive message but includes some wee stabs at both organised religion and politics.

I also tweaked a track I'd written called "Dead World" and have decided to reclaim "Her Ghost In The Fog" and include this as mine (I wrote it anyway) in the future project.

It's all coming together quite nicely!
