Spurred on by yesterday’s little piece, I turned my attention to using a couple of single second samples of Judie Tzuke’s vocal, from the magical Stay With Me Till Dawn, to create a gentle lullaby soundscape. Made in the early hours, just before the sun came up.

All done in Ableton Live using multiple instances of Simpler and internal effects.

I noodled around with the lovely opening guitar riff in this track. No vocal used this time, but I may change that in the future.

Only available as a stream for copyright reasons. That said, there is every chance I may be asked to remove it. I sincerely hope not.

It feels like a slow start to 2012 and I need the light to improve and yearn for the daylight hours to be just a little brighter. The darkling is getting to me. Here’s how it sounds.

Happy New Year to you all.

Unable to sleep, with my brain a little fuzzy, I’ve noodled with an old track in Ableton Live and used it to make something new that reflects my head on this first day of 2012.

I hope it eases you into the new year.
