Happy Halloween & Two New Tunes

by

I wish you all a ghoulorius Pagan New Year / Halloween / El Día de Los Muertos! 🎃 🎃 🎃

Calm On is my most recent video. It features the beauty of Lake Okanagan, Penticton, BC and its current autumnal, avian denizens. The music is ambient electronica with accordion. Yes, accordions go with every kind of music!

Watch and enjoy a few moments of calm.

All the Rage is a spoken word YouTube “Short” — 60 seconds. Yes, there is some accordion.

I describe the piece like so:

“Something wonderful happens to a woman when she lives long enough, don’t ya think?”

New tune: “flow like so” – mesmerizing accordion & electronica

by

We’re busy preparing for our shows in August so I gave the band a break from recording this month. I still wanted to publish a video so I put the finishing touches on a tune I composed in 2022. “flow like so” is a synth-soaked ambient piece with accordion. I built the mesmerizing, relaxing, chill video with footage from the Penticton, BC dam and channel.

Accordions belong anywhere in any genre, even flow. No musical borders. That’s my contention and I’m sticking with it. 🙂

For music nerds, the time signature is 7/4. The accordion is my musette tuned Weltmeister Achat. The synths sounds are all in GarageBand (the free Apple app) which just goes to show that possibilities are endless if you have a creative streak and like to play with sonic landscapes.
