about

In 2012, as I got the idea to write music for an album about my garden, one of my fears was that it could come out too gentle and pastoral, and, thus, predictable.

So, I set up to improvise the tunes on my MIDI controller, with the crazy eighties sounds included in my DAW. To get an idea of the tunes development, i also soloed on them - again, on the keyboard, since I didn't own a microphone. Those solos are mostly like percussion, since I cannot actually play keyboards. Still, they have a very carefree approach that I like: they were, essentially, placeholders, and my lack of keyboard skills gives them a kind of idiotic freshness. Anyway, after recording the "real" album, I completely forgot about all of this.

A few days ago, cleaning stuff on my computer, I found a tune called "Thorian Blaster". I had no memory of recording anything like that! Well, it was Garden Beast, and "Thorian Blaster" was actually the name of the keyboard sound I used to play the theme. It was in a folder called "new album midi", along with all the other tunes.

My first idea was to go back to the original multitrack recording and mix them, but this proved impossible: I have a new version of that DAW, and all the old sounds are gone. But I liked the idea of releasing those tunes in this very primitive and sincere incarnation.

So, here it is: the first draft of my album Garden Beast, with myself on keyboards. Enjoy!

(And please stay home until the virus goes away)

All the best,

Iordache
