Late last night a Harvest Moon was shining brightly. It was a great opportunity to recharge the Hermiker Diamond by allowing the Moon’s ethereal light to be soaked up by this amazing crystal.
Because I wanted to add only keyboard extras onto the YEAR ONE song below, and whilst using headphones to record new simple melodies, no noise came from The Den other than the tip tap tapping on the AKAI MIDI keyboard. It was getting on for 01.00 after all. Angie was sleeping and had a very busy stock take ahead in her shop. These yearly stock takes take a fair few days and Sunday, when the shop is closed, pulls all the final counting and figures to a conclusion.
After the ‘silent’ additions, it was a case of silencing every single track recorded and switching each track, one by one, back into the headphones in order to balance instrumental and vocal volume levels. It can take quite a while back and forth. But there comes a moment when you just have to say to yourself ‘Stop! It’s fine now’.
Keyboard choices to add were Fairy Bells and Modern Mystic Bowl. I wanted an ethereal, but bright little Will-o’-the-Wisp type vibe.
Here below is the newer Year One. Also, for my blogging friend Destiny, an amazing poet, is a photograph of the Hermiker as requested.
So now ready for one of the ⭕️ of 5️⃣ EP tracks.
Very beautiful song ! and I’m sure it’s not easy to say stop – the song is got the final cut. There are always some possibilities for some additional sound or change in the existing ! 😉

Thanks Victor. My dream situation is to have a producer and a sound engineer I can really trust. My skills in this are terrible. So I have to tell myself Stop, because I cannot simply, within the skills limits I have, go any further to improve it all.
I just like the songwriting side to it all. That said, it would be nice to get a couple of musicians on board too. At 70 years old? Not many are around to link up with an old one like myself ! 😄
Thanks for popping by Victor. Much appreciated. 🙏🏽🍁🍂

Good luck Gray. If you’re thinking about it, sure you will find some musicians and also sound engineer.
Just have some free time due to the Holidays and your posts were saved with the goal not to forget to read and to listen.

I’m so pleased that you found time. Really appreciated. I can understand how difficult it can be to get around our blogging community. The uploads from others can come fast and furious at times 😊 So it is difficult to read everything when we have lives to lead too.
