Nov 11, 2016: Leonard Cohen, R.I.P. ♥
July 23, 2015: [headphones suggested] Here's the 5th in my "remastered for downloading anew" project. You'll also find a few DL-maxed tracks at freemusicarchive.org/music/Kathleen_Martin (excluding my covers of active artists). Somehow I had mastered my initial recording of "SoM" with an especially soft volume, so boosting that is the primary improvement here. I feel this is one of my finest vocals overall, coming after I'd learned a bit more about Reaper and before I'd beat up my best mic by badly securing it to and often dropping it from a telescope tripod for stand-up singing. From looking at the vocal stem, somehow I also lucked out with no outside noise interference for the full recording—unheard of during my miked performances, whether voice or instrument!—resulting in a more cohesive delivery of the lyrics. Keyboard accompaniment includes my Korg in harpsichord mode and my Yamaha for bassoon, recorder and concert harp parts.
