This is a piece I wrote to celebrate the wedding of a very good friend. It was meant to be quite ceremonial, yet joyful at the same time. You will find a lot instruments I often enjoy playing: accoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, flute, glockenspiel, a small zither, an irish bodhran, as well as a few other things.
Living Melody - Songs and music by Hubert Razack
I've always loved instrumental music, whether orchestral or with more exotic setups. In fact, this was what first attracted my interest in music in my younger days. You can find below a few pieces I have written over time.
This is a rather different style, more electronic and sample-based, which was originally supposed to be included in the "Sense" album. The title, "Ternanoght", came to me one day while I was working on the track. I had no idea what it meant, but I liked the sound of it. Later I discovered that one of the major "other lands" in celtic folklore is called "Tír na nÓg", which means "the land of ever young". While it's not a particularly fairy-like track, I had grown used to the title, so I kept it.
The main melody for this piece came to me while I was travelling in New Zealand. Usually, unless I record it straightaway, I tend to forget a melody when it comes like that. For some reason, however, I remembered this one until 6 months later, after I came back from my travels (I took a year off to travel around the world some time ago). I was near mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand, so I thought I would name the track after it. It is a very simple piece, all hand played except for the drums (although there is a real irish bodhran).
