I've always wanted to give you more Than I seem capable of Running in circles Running while I'm falling Sitting on the edge of the night I hear allegations Seem to keep guessing Always unsure of the sounds Yesterday haunts, though years have now flown by I'm only just standing up It's like I know the dance but I can't seem to shuffle Wish that you would fill my cup Because I've always wanted to give you more Than I seem capable of I've always wanted to give you more Than I seem capable of

about

So one day, I discovered the hang drum. Or handpan, or pan drum or whatever you want to call it. it's an inverted Caribbean steel drum you play with your hands.

Anyway I fell in love with the sound. Absolutely gorgeous sound. However it's priced out of reach for most of us. Because it's only a 7 or 8 note instrument, it really should be priced low enough so we can get ones in multiple keys. Like harmonicas. But it's not.

Alas.... all I could do was dream about writing music with a hang drum.

So I found a sample-based electronic hang drum instrument by Sonic Couture for Ableton Live and Kontact. So I bought it and started composing some tracks.

Around the same time, I also got a baritone guitar, a baritone telecaster. Beautiful low sound.

So I thought, what if I make an electronic album predominantly using hang drum, baritone guitar, cassette sampled drum machines, some other metal hits, and some analogue synths here and there?

Well this is the result. I did deviate from the theme in places, but I think it's given this collection a certain character.

Hope you enjoy.

Peace

Hugh
