Experimental sessions with the Mellotron 4000 virtual-synth.
Always loved the sound of this 60's-70's haunting synth so i've put together an arrangement and composed several transitioned verses in a progressive rock-guitar style around this iconic synth. The sound produced from this virtual-synth are actually sampled from the genuine unit, and i've picked four of it's many presets in this piece.
With a few twists and turns it's a bit of a mixed genre, i started off with a kind of Morricone/Leone idea of a wild west spaghetti-western vibe, then a friend and musician Dave Svensson (thx D :) suggested i expand on it, thus creating a blend of Spanish, Folk, Classical & Rock guitars with a dash of Blues, fused together with this classic synth.
Thanks for listening.
