FlyinAmbeR (Kevin Sweeney) // Blog

Dear Indabans,

I've posted a demo of a new song on my profile. It's called "Closer to the Sun". If you listen, you'll hear a jangly, beatles type sound - but my voice just isn't up to the vocals. It needs a 3 part harmony, one voice very high (like Graham Nash from CSNY).

If anyone is interested in attempting to do better vocals than my guide vocal, let me know and I'll upload an instrumental version for you to play around with.

FlyinAmbeR.

Status Report: It's been six months now since I got my little friend, the Boss 600 digital recorder. During those six months I've invented FlyinAmbeR and written and recorded a 10 song album. (Wistful thinking bit: what might have been if I'd had this little gizmo years ago.....?)

The songs, I think, are good...a couple very good; the recording and mixing is improving but still rough around the edges. The voice, having been ruined by smoking and years of singing in smoky dives, is probably not strong enough for gigging but can still do the business in short bursts.  

Highlight so far - featured artist on XFM Scotland with "Simply To See" being played on Martin Bate's show back in May.

Where to now? Dunno. Be nice if some young band picked up on the songs and covered them.
