I had an inspiration after hearing the cello on momofranZ's "ladis loss". In th
(not so) distant past, I had figured how to play Greensleeves on my Yamaha Etern
Acoustic Guitar. The cello in this piece is from momofranZ's song, and I had to
it here. The slow strings, flute, and the clarinet were also ripped from momofr
and modified the guitar from the GM.DLS instrument library in ModPlug Tracker, t
origins of the fast string are fuzzy to me (Probably from Skaven). I probably s
learn to create my own instruments some day, but I'd rather spend more time comp
than tweaking samples. That and there are lots of very good instruments out the
already.
This has the be the first complete song that I've finished in more than 3 years
I kept it short because Greensleeves is actually a very short song. I kept it f
simple (IMO) because I haven't touched tracking i a very long time (close to 3 y
I go and listen to my early stuff and I cringe at them... but I guess that's nor
eh? That and I demanded more from myself as I track more and more songs; I ende
burning myself out before I officially released a song.
So this is my first official release. Just in time for Christmas. This is rath
amusing to me, because I had heard that one of my old friends, who works at a lo
TV station, actually used an unfinished (and IMO, a poor quality) heavy metal re
Carol of the Bells as an opening song to one of their news programs because the
loved it when he heard it. (Wow... was that a run-on sentence?)

So, sitback, listen, and enjoy.
