Eyes On Fire by Blue Foundation (Tempest Edit)

Blue Foundation did an amazing song that is brilliant without me doing anything to it. But if anyone knows me, I always add something more that I hear in my Mellotronic head. So I added Stargazer drone synths for some electronic touch, and of course a few Mellotron tracks. Enjoy!

The Battle Within (Finale) Year: 2020 Genre: Progressive

Tapeworm Genre: Electronic

This little piece features flutes from the free Mellotron Esque VST "Tapeworm" hence the title of the track.

Ghost In The Machine Track number: 1 Genre: Electronic

This was the first piece I wrote and composed when I sat down with the sounds of a Mellotron beneath my fingertips. Recorded back in 2005 using the "Mike Pinder Presents Mellotron CD-ROM". (When I finally got it to work in Cubase! lol) The opening violin section is literally the first chords I played when I turned everything on and it actually worked with my controller! From there the song took on a life of its own, track by track inspiring the appropriate title 'Ghost In The Machine". Everything just came together so naturally almost as if a ghost was playing through me and the sounds of the Mellotron. I composed and mixed the song down within a couple of hours. It's pretty much straight forward Mellotron, no effects or mixing really except some old school mono panning I like to do for all of my recordings. later that night I added the piano track as well as the "Bossa Nova/Cello and Violins Moving Chords" vaguely heard in the background panning left to right as the 3 violins play. This song will be re-recorded for my debut EP by the same title. Mellotron Sounds Used: 3 Violins MK II Brass 8 Voice Choir Mk II Organ (Hammond) Bossa Nova/Cello and Violins Moving Chords

Heroin Withdrawals

For my family that helped me through opiate/heroin addiction and withdrawals.

Gun by Emilíana Torrini (Tempest Edit) Genre: Alternative

Written and performed by Emilíana Torrini, this is the original version with my addition of Mellotron Cello, 3 Violins, 8 Voice Choir, Moog and a straight through drum track that I recorded in one take in my garage.

In A Dream by Calvin Brooks (Tempest Edit) Genre: Alternative

Written by Calvin Brooks (Guitar, Vocals) I collaborated on this beautiful track "In A Dream". I added all the soundscapes, Analog synths, Mellotron Flutes, Violins, Cello, Choirs with some trashy low fi drum programming and mixdown.

Alone Genre: Electronic

This little "odd ditty" is the result of experimenting with another "Tron Esque" instrument, the Optigan along with the Mellotron. In this track I experiment with the rhythms. So all the drums are actually rhythm sections from the Optigan and Mellotron. I also use the Mellotron Flutes, Brass, Violins and Choirs.
