Another remix, this time of an older song that I had up here and deleted. I recorded this in October of 2006 as a tribute to our dog, Smokey, who had gotten old and infirm as dogs do and passed away. He was a dear friend. Originally recorded in Garageband, it features me playing lap steel guitar and soft synth strings, harp and the Fitch solo Cello and Tibetan Bells. I remixed by opening it up in Logic Pro 8 and editing expression and modulation in the cello part and using Space Designer to open up the ambience of the piece. I got inspired by listening to the latest Daniel Lanois album to create a dreamier sonic landscape.
The painting of Smokey that is the song art was done by my wife Andrea Tamkin, and you can see more of her work at her website.

I loved this very much. Great for a rainy morning like the one we're having.
Your wife is really talented! I went to her site, and now I want her to do portraits of our pets!
I'll have to ask the future hubby though...
