Well, it's the season of music presenting I guess,
so here's my bit:

Anticipating a simple tune with a few challenges set.
1. To make a v simple chord progression interesting for 3 mins
2. To start the collaboration with Richard Miles. Richard is a colleague of
mine and a science teacher. Last year he discovered his amazing talent for
poetry and already wrote 15 samizdat (self-published) poetry books. I sent
him the basic idea, and he returned the lyrics, basically;-]
3. To further learn the art of final production on Linux Audio. This time
using the wonderful Linux DSP suite on AVLinux - particulary the Valve
Compressor and the Graphic Eq while mastering. The vocals and bouzouki use
the Linux DSP Reverb as well.
Critical comments (deserved) and praises (undeserved) are welcomed.
Wow, that's really good! Cute song, nice pop hit-song style production.
The singing reminds me of "Cool for Cats" by Squeeze.
The bouzoki is excellent and fits perfectly.
That drum machine is hilarious. That's one snappy Alesis D-4 1980's snare you got
going on, and a 90's-style techno kick drum. Were those done in Hydrogen?
Very well-recorded. The whole thing is catchy. I think you have a hit. Might want to put
that up on iTunes, I bet it'll sell.
