A small sonic gift from me to all of you .........
Posted by: 'haroldbudd' on 15 April 2009
Hola everyone,
Sadly my stereo has been now boxed up for my move back to Europe in a few days, but last night my new muse and I wrote and recorded a track with whichever bits of the studio were left about. We could only use the built in mic and A/D on the macbook pro, and we had no reels for the Otari. The new lavry DA11 I ordered a billion years ago is still not here, but we used the mighty Nait 3 to drunkenly record and mix this piece.
The consumption of bottles of cheap Rioja and a bottle of " wodka " meant that, well, sorry Mike but the timing is horrific , I have no idea what key this is in, and not sure how the mix will translate on all of your proper Naim systems, sorrry !
Some of you may have heard the little pieces I made in response to other threads by Mikeeschman ( the mellotron piece for JaimeeL , the Paganini for Glockenspiel etc ), this one is different. Fans of Led Zepilin may recognize the Mellotron strings I used as they are the same tape bank as John Paul Jones used in " the Rain Song ". I also could not resist adding some Rutherfordian bass pedal goofiness.
So farewell for now, I will be back in a few months and if only one of you like this, then fantastic. I am still hungover from it but a great final farewell to this listening room I love so much.
I have uploaded it as an AIFF, ( pc users can convert to wav, sorry ! ) and the download site is safe.
Take care all, and keep listening
Long live the Nait 3
Long live cheap rioja
and viva skinny Spanish waitresses that sing

Hi Jamie,
yes I will do that. We only have 6 tracks so far but when we have some more we will make some kinda site that people can take them from, perhaps an ambient-samba version of ' Close to the Edge' ?
Take care

oh and sorry , the file is ALAC apple lossless, and does not have to be downloaded, it can just be played from site by clicking the little play button.
cheers
