Poem by Georges Sabiron

Melancholic instrumental “baroque” reflection in two parts

1- gratitude and remembrance (bittersweet pseudo-tango ballad)
2- mourn and sadness (ambient bass live take and audio detritus from the previous part)

Dedicated with gratitude and love to PDN, May 1934 – Nov 2017

No synthesiser used on this one.

Challenge: “Record a piece of music while en route somewhere”

The best travel companion for me it’s an Ukulele. And my laptop and my AT stereo microphone.
This track features all that road companion set, an Uke stereo take and a country side field recording made with that stereo mic
