Only the words derived from the original poem but it sounds far from traditional musically. Might delete.

Thank you so much 😊

@@SleepingOrchardOf course! Are all the songs (or most) uploaded to SoundCloud, as you’ve mentioned before?

@ there’s actually not that many on Soundcloud, I keep forgetting about it haha. Most are on Spotify and streaming places, or BandCamp. Thanks for reminding me I need to add the others to Soundcloud! Hahaha

Thank you! Are you happy with the project you did with it? I sometimes like what I do, sometimes hate it 😂. Really happy you liked the result of this one, thank you for watching!

@@SleepingOrchard Happy enough! I had to pull it up to refresh my memory. I'd been wanting to put together a retro tech RUclips channel forever and I wanted to create a background music loop I could chop up and put behind certain sequences. It's just a two chord loop that I improvise and expand on for 5 minutes. I've still never made the channel, but when my friend asked me if I had anything he could use as hold music for business, that's what he's currently using. It does sound like hold music. 😅

One more fun tidbit is that since I didn't have any outboard FX, I decided to record it into the computer for FX and light editing, and then I recorded it (still multitrack) back to tape to give it even more saturation. I can't remember if I did the stereo mix on the unit itself or if I recorded the tracks back into the computer to mix and bounce but if I did it was just to set the levels and I tried not to touch much else.

The commentary is super funny 😅😅😊😊

Thank you! And thank you for finding on Spotify too 😃 that’s a really big compliment, thank you so much! And haha yes the commentary can be a bit unserious lol

@@deecyful well spotted! Yesss it is. 5 months, wow 😳 I do take a while to finish things haha. I’m trying to get much faster! Thank you 🙏 😌

😮😅😂😂 have a great weekend Will 🥰

@@1000andres1000 just nowhere near as good! 😂 can never come close to Gilmour

@@deecyful thank you! And as you may know now the full song is so so so long 🤦🏼‍♂️ 😂

5 mins 17 seconds … YES 🙌 😮😂😂 phew I did my revision 🎉

@@electrosonicnebula Thank you, I will listen to them! Always interested to hear 😃

@@SleepingOrchard You might find them interesting, they were influenced by the Who, Bob Dylan and The Stones and with a definite sixties groove. Also influenced by Prince, they somehow worked it all in.

@@deecyful always more than happy to have you stop by my corner of the internet 😃🙏 I should have put the kettle on 😂 I’m okay and hope you are too!

Hi Will put the kettle on 😊 Glad you’re okay 👍 No sign of you on TT 😮as was putting last touch’s to my Halloween video which has you on it .. your music is still working though. Just wanted to see you are okay and you are 👍 😎 and yes I’m okay 👍 see ya soon .. green tea for me 🍵

@ ahhh I will miss it, I deactivated my TikTok account. Maybe not forever but I was finding the app declined quite a bit cus of just…adverts and then videos of people selling other things haha. It was also MANIC, so quick and jittery. I prefer the slow world of RUclips and Instagram for a bit haha. I will get all the green teas on standby!

Yessss!!! Good to see you here! I hope you can have many adventures! I love your style, so can’t wait to see 😃

Thank you! I was happy with the result of that, didn’t expect it! 😂

Thanks for watching! Just checked out that Iron and Wine track, really like it. I can hear the similar chorus chords, especially that descending folky bit haha.

Thank you!! Really happy RUclips bought you here 🙏 😌. And yessss, drum machines + tape is a decision I will always support. I hope you can get into that. I’m working on more with the drum machine at the moment.

Thank you! 🤩

That’s lovely to know, thank you so much ☺️ 🙏

Rant approved! 😃 I agree it’s sad that this stuff isn’t still being made, but THANKFULLY they made them so well in the past that they still work today. I’m sad at how the price has gone so high now though. When I got this machine it was really cheap by comparison. Thank you for appreciating it and my attempts to make art 🙏😌. It’s a strange thing, efficiency, because I finish my tape machine songs WAY FASTER than my digital recordings, maybe because there’s less options? Or maybe because at some point you just have to call it a day to move on with a new track haha. Having said that, I have tapes from years ago I never finished…so maybe I’m talking rubbish right now 😂 😂

Thank you! That makes me so happy cus I definitely feel “digital exhaustion” from having to download an app every five minutes and creating an account for something as benign as parking the car at a public car park 😣. I want tangible things back! Without having to sign in and reset all the passwords I forget constantly haha

@SleepingOrchard wow ain't that the truth. I use so much technology in my music production because that's what I was taught but I never realized the world of tapes I thought it was just old garbage gear from yesterday year, but this is definitely a good secret for richness and uniqueness

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say 😌

Thank you so much! 😌 🙌

Thanks so much! 😃

Thank you! It’s nice to know it sounds better to others than it does in my head 😂 I will check out his stuff! Not heard him before

@@SleepingOrchard Check out the 2012 album "If not now when".

Oh you’re right! I heard one at a local folk show and it sounded AMAZING. I was shocked. I think this might be the next step then 🤔 Thanks for watching 🙏

Haha that grimace emoji is my exact face when looking up international shipping costs 😂. In a perfect world I would come to you for repairs haha

Thank you, Carl is making mischief and endlessly exploring cat heaven right now haha.

Thank you very much! Cheers 🥂

Haha I hope it didn’t disappoint! I appreciate your pre-watching faith in it though! 😂

Thank you! I will have to listen to the stuff with his son 😃 Always grateful to find new music to listen to.

Thank you buddy! 😃

That’s very kind, I might be able to one day match his beard at least…but otherwise not until they invent plastic surgery for vocal chords 💭 😝

I appreciate it, thanks for watching 🙏

Thank you! 🤩

Thanks a lot! Really happy you liked the lyrics 🙏😃

Definitely was, tied the whole thing together. Before that it was just a confusing, unwatchable mess!

Ill get involved more often

🫡 Thanks!

That would be cool! I’ll check out Your playing 😃!

Thanks! And yes I think I overdid it, and it’s also very dark. But I’ll learn from it hopefully 😂 Better next time

@@SleepingOrchard cheers

It all made perfect sense! Thank you, it’s a beautiful comment and makes putting this stuff out all the more worth it. Thank you for your kind and inspiring words 🙏

@@SleepingOrchard I just wanted you to know that you matter

🙏 That’s beautiful, made me emotional, thank you!!

Hahaha I’m not sure RUclips is prepared for that level of enthusiasm 😂 Thanks so much, my East Anglian friend!

Thank you! Welcome aboard 😃 I really appreciate that

Haha not TOO far away, being in East Anglia myself, a Saxon region of England. Maybe we’re distantly related 🤔😂

@@SleepingOrchard East Saxony = Essex! Well, if that's the case, we're DEFENITELY related! (My gang were just too lazy to move back then, you know.) And the world is SOOO small, isn't it... Why not come by for tea and we can discuss further details. So which tea should I prepare: earl grey or Guinness... or even Edradour? (You can of course also send the bass corpse by mail. It would be an honor for me in any case.) CU, Matze

@@SleepingOrchard By the way, I was a founding member of the Beatles (if that helps at all)... even if only in my mind. A glaring disadvantage of being born much too late, so to speak.

The drum machine is an MFB-301 and the cassette recorder is a Tascam 688.

Thanks mate

Awww shucks 🥰🥰🥰

@@electrosonicnebula Thank you! Really happy that you enjoyed the lyrics and vocal sound. I think it’s the boosted mid-range and lack of bass/treble that give it that retro feel. But yes that whole era is a massive influence and it’s nice you can notice it! 😃 I will need to check some bass input soldering tutorials then haha, thank you 🙏
