noahversary

help horsemouth celebrate the noahversary one year since howard and horsemouth (aka musicians of bremen) recorded noah.




they’d started writing it in 2014 by bibliomancy - horsemouth had tried out a 3 verse demo version of the song at his gig at cafe bohemia in december and then on this day last year they had a crack at recording it properly. (as soon as school holidays and such permitted).

the key ingredient was probably the addition of the resonator guitar (as pictured) and recording the song in sections to a click track (something horsemouth is normally good at but on this occasion he struggled with). the icing-on-the-cake was saturating the solo guitar part with lashings of echo and delay (it’s just horsemouth noodling about really).

horsemouth had had a go at recording a guide vocal (which was a little croaky) and eventually managed to double track a reasonably tuneful take. howard then recorded backing vocals for the choruses.



horsemouth has a fairly stripped down version - howard has recorded an extended version with an additional verse and more bells and whistles on an epic scale.
