I just listened to your Tree of a thousand stars
so peaceful and beautiful. It took me to another mindset. Thanks - it was awesome.
Like the old phrase a picture is worth a thousand words - in this case the music brought a thousand images to mind.
well done Arkady

Now, before I fall all over my feet again like I did with Doug wink , I'll just ask straight out: Do you have any CD's on Amazon or elsewhere?
Thanks
Bill
Bill I have never commercially released a CD though I have considered it. I guess I'm lazy and never got round to it.
If you are interested in having a few of the instrumentals on your PC I could always email them to you.
let us know.
all the best

Anyone Do Just Instrumentals..
Well I guess I fall into that category
lyrics don't come easy for me though I've had a go in the past and still do I'm just not happy with the results I produce.
I had in mind the Arthurian legend while doing this one.
Guinevere betrayal of Arthur and so on....
An instrumental just music to conjure up a picture and meaning.

Nice pro sounding production Phill.
Everything sounded crisp and clear though the Headphones.
I thought I'd even up the the comments at the time of writing to 5 apiece on each thread.:D
Tony
Nice one Joe well recorded.
I guess most people of a certain age would empathise with your lyrics reminds me of song I did a while back called "Where did it all go"
Well done
Tony
The answer to query Bill is yes a Chordie CD has been proposed and tracks were selected from members. This was some years ago and never came to pass. The post for it is still In the stickies in the recording forum. Russ from the recording forum put them together at the time reasons for not completing are in the posts.

I think most families get touched by dementia in some form or the other especially as we get older.
A well written, performed and presented song.

All original songs should be posted in the songwriting section according to Chordie guidelines.
😁...
Well...maybe
The only pickle worth eating here in the UK is "Branston" IMHO.
Hi Mo
I'm always interested in instrumentals :)
Nice tune as a stand alone piece.
well done

Hi Graham

Their are many things I don't understand, especially in the electric forum, but I have learned so much. For me the music theory, songwriting and acoustic sections have been invaluable. I don't know who invented Chordie, but I would like to say a big thank you.
Perhaps one of the more senior members would like to do an article on the founder/s of Chordie.
The guy we all can thank for Chordie existence is Mr. Per Egil Kummervold the creator and administrator of our great site. He assembled all the PunnBB code into Chordie and has maintained it ever since tweaking it when necessary keep it running smoothly as he can.
Roger is a founder moderator and the Mod's benign boss:) with a great deal of knowledge about Chordie and a all round nice guy.... 
I click on all the songs in the song writing section and read them and listen if a link is there. I don't always comment but do take an interest. There's a lot of lurkers out there but I guess that's the nature of forums...

Tenement Funster wrote:Thanks for the "tour", Arkady!
I have no experience recording, apart from recording some stuff decades ago on a "ghetto blaster" on cassette tape. I'm nearing 60 years old, but you probably figured that out already! :D
I also haven't performed on stage for several decades, and just jam with a few friends now and then for fun. Mostly, the guitars are my psychiatrists, and are an integral part of unwinding each day after work. I probably spend more time listening than playing, and have been pleased to find lots of newer prog work in the past few years (like yours) to add to the older classic favorites. I've got the group "Believe" playing right now (out of Poland) and their album "This Bread is Mine" is stellar work.
Who would you regard as a few of your favorites?
Hi Funster
My first attempts at recording were on the old 4 track Tascam using cassettes cutting edge then :)
Just keyboard and guitar and vocals and a prayer which mostly wasn't answered. I'm of an age when I remember the prog rock rock bands first time round so I'm grey around the gills too.
Favourite's well...
ELP Pictures at exhibition the cover Mussorgsky's piece (I'm a great fan of a lot of classical music especially Baroque)
YES, GENSIS (early of course with Pete Gabriel)
HAWKWIND, VAN DER GRAFF GENERATOR, early MOTT THE HOOPLE
solo RICK WAKEMAN Journey to the centre of the earth, Arthur and others.
JEFF WAYNE' war of the worlds
Uriah Heep
My knowledge of prog Rock bands has been very limited. Thanks for expanding it with your posts.

I think it's the soundcard on the new PC I'm using.
This wasn't a problem on my old PC with a different soundcard all the rest of the kit is the same.

Hi Funster
As you say Carl Palmer is one of the great prog rock drummers. I especially like the start of the second side of the live album "Pictures at an exhibition" where his drumming is electrifying.
To answer your question. The drums, Bass and pads are mainly loops. The rest are produced in a midi. I play the guitar and or keyboard on some tracks but use stock loops if the basic sound is what I'm after.
Most of the tracks laid down are Fx'ed, tweaked, edited and mix by me in musicmaker software.
I was wondering do you do any recording yourself just curious
ark
Hey Funster
ELP at their best. The "Pirates" piece incorporates all the elements of what makes them so outstanding in the prog rock genre. I can hear elements of all their previous works and the mix is really complex and original.
What I like about Greg Lake's singing is the fact you can hear every word he sings and considering the orchestral backing he has to compete with is an achievement in it self.
Great Stuff!
ark
Funster
Thanks for taking the time to listen glad you like them.
Prog Rock is probably the greatest influence on me of all genres of music so thanks for putting up the thread.

I guess we are our own worst critics. IMHO there's nothing wrong with the recording.
But hey what do I know...
Anyway great collaboration both you.

Tenement Funster wrote:Pink Floyd "Echoes" Pompeii, 1971
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKtgWx6e0hs
Here's an oldie but a goodie. The acoustics in this ancient ampitheatre must have been incredible, and it made a cool setting for them to play / record / film this rendition of one of their early classics. This was from their 6th album (Meddle, 1971) which was 2 before "Dark Side of the Moon". Nevertheless, it's easy to see where their style was heading.
An interesting note, is that they considered filing a copyright lawsuit against Andrew Lloyd Webber, for his opening movement for "Phantom of the Opera". The opening pipe organ section of Phantom is identical to the main riff of Echoes, i.e., same notes, same time signature, same structure, etc. They didn't proceed, but they certainly have a valid argument.

Pink Floyds "Echoes" is one of my favourite prog tracks never saw it live but love the album.
Thanks for the share and info.

Hi Guys
I've been getting delayed sound output from headphones when playing my guitar but not through my amp and speakers. Both run through my PC. It seems to be connected with the path to the headphones.
Any ideas?
