This is from my newest CD I created for a theater show based on Balkan themes I did last year.
Hope you enjoy. I’m also playing all the percussion. Peace, Tom

ParticipantHi Tom,
what you’re doing with melodica and percussion is simply great!

ParticipantThank you Questscher! I’m so glad to find this site. I was thinking I was the only melodica nurd around. Now I see I’m a neophyte! What I share in my percussion community is playing a wind instrument has had a huge impact on my percussion performance as I’m much more aware of breath, length of line and dynamic shaping. I’m looking forward to learning much more on this site! All Best, T

ParticipantTom I love your original and unique compositions. Please post some more when get a chance. Nothing like original music that strays outside the box.
I have about two albums worth of fully instrumented original compositions, but had not posted them because they were pre-melodica compositions. No melodica in them. Maybe one of these days I will put a couple on my SoundCloud page and people can listen if they so desire.
Regards,
Lowboy

KeymasterTom, I love the minimalist and hypnotic qualities of this piece. And your use of the full dynamic range of the melodica. Right from the start – alternating loud and soft notes. I’m going to try that out! And solid percussion beats. Can you remember which melodica/mic you used?
