Melody Craft

Though the different notes are limited here's another idea for a song on my RAV Vast A Integral. I still love this instrument :).

I just bought the "A Integral" Handpan from RAV Vast. I really love this instrument. Though there are limitations in the tone range it's really beautiful and well crafted instrument wich a rich and deep tone that a Smartphone mic can't really pic up. I've recorded an idea which is more about the chord movement than about a strong melody.  Tuning: A2 C3 E3 F3 G3 A3 B3 C4 E4

Just tried some tunings and stopped with this one. At first I liked the second part of this snippet but then again, kinda boring and nothing special about it. So will probably discard it. Tuning: C# G# C# F G# D#

Just got a ToneWoodAmp for Christmas. This really is an amazing gadget for acoustic guitars. It amplifies the sound and effects directly through the body of the guitar. This test recording with a delay coming just from my guitar. Tuning: E A D G B E with partial Capo on 3, 4, 5

Originally I wanted to try out the Tuning E G D F# A C# by Erik Mongrain's song "Muse". While writing this post I just noticed that I instead tuned it to E G D F# A E and this idea came along.

I was browsing through some old ideas and found something from 2007. Back then I felt in love with "Low C" by Erick Turnbull . So the beginning is almost the same. I'd really like to continue working on this idea. Tuning: C G D D# A# D#

I've tried out some things in the tuning of the song Fearless by Erik Mongrain. I kinda like the drive of the chorus but I'll see if it could make it to a complete song. The chorus also reminds me a little bit of some existing song that I can't really remember. Tuning: D A B F# A E

I applied for a music university place back in 2007 and this was one of three demo tracks I've used for it. It is based on a Don Ross song called "Lucy Watusi" and the song "Passerby" by Dispatch. Tuning: D A C F C D

I browsed through some old recordings and found this tune from 2007. I just bought a Schlagwerk Cajon in that year and did a test recording along a short Guitar jam with a chorus effect on it. I can't remember the tuning that I've used.

Still don't get Antoine Dufour's Air Ground out of my head so I just tuned to this tuning and tried to come up with some new ideas. One of them is here to hear. Tuning: Eb Bb C G Bb D

In preparation for an upcoming gig (where I play some ambient piano music) I try to play more piano in the next few weeks.

The last three crafts were in the same tuning and these might shape up to a complete song. I think I drop craft 016 though ;). The idea for the chorus came after watching Antoine Dufour's song Air Ground. One of my favorite fingerstyle tunes at the moment. Tuning: C G D# G C D#

Same tuning as yesterday. Still missing a melody but could be a grooving bridge. The recording was so short I just looped the whole thing twice ;). Tuning: C G D# G C D#

At the moment not much variety in this idea and the melody isn't really strong. But I really like the flow ;). Tuning: C G D# G C D#

Just coughed up the Tuning C G D G A D from a Jon Gomm Tweet. So I tried it out and came up with a first little idea. Tuning: C G D G A D

I'm using this tuning on one of my songs called "Feeling Deep". While practicing this song I tried to put a partial capo and came up with different parts that may fit somehow for a new song in the future. Tuning: D A D F A E Capo: Strings 3, 4, 5 / fourth fret

I currently have a 0.52 string on my 6th string so it's not really a good idea to tune it down to A ;). I should probably use a 0.56 or so. Just uploaded a little idea with some mistakes. It is missing a clear melody for now but I liked the chord progression. Tuning: A B D F# B D

Just came up with a little idea while streaming on Twitch. This could be like an chorus followed by a bridge. Tuning: Standard Capo: Strings 3, 4, 5 / fourth fret

Beim Streamen auf Twitch baue ich manchmal Loops mit verschiedenen Instrumenten. Letztens habe ich mal wieder meine Ukulele herausgeholt und dabei sind folgende Töne zustande gekommen (erneut hinterlegt mit einer automatischen Drumspur von Apples Musikmemos). Tuning: G C E A

Eine weitere kleine Idee, die man sich vor dem Part von Craft 008 vorstellen könnte. Bei dieser Aufnahme habe ich Apples Musikmemos ausgetestet und eine automatisch generierte Drum-Spur hinzufügen lassen. Tuning: C G D G C E
