The Wimshurst's Machine: Music
Ghosts of Fallow Grounds (with Jered McKenna)
(Performed by The Wimshurst's Machine and Jered McKenna - Traditional, rearranged by Augusto Chiarle)
A traditional Celtic song rearranged to become a haunting, delicate, melancholic song, with a tip of Enya's style (some says Loreena McKennit). We are always into the fusion of many musical genders, and specially Celtic/Irish, that has so nice vocal lines, sometimes happy tunes or very melancholic but sweet ones. This song, in particular, is delicate and haunting, and our first collaboration with Jered McKenna. When Augusto did work on this song, at start thought to a TWM piano play, but just had a listen to Jered's last composition at the moment (that was a song called "The Sky", that you may find on his Soundclick website) and thought it would be the perfect style for this song... So he proposed to start a TWM-McKenna collab already from this song, and here we are: an awesome piano play for a very sweet and melancholic song, with Piano, Celtic voices, fiddle, acoustic drums and bari saxophone!
