A Very Thanatos Christmas Electronic EP

Picture
I am not sure why but I wanted to record some Christmas songs. Initially I was going to do We Three Kings but the complete lyrics bothered me. I like Christmas songs about hope and the raising up of the downtrodden. So Tim Larson and I recorded the songs below, in one night. I like to think these are like sitting in my living room listening to me play (or listening to me play in my living room with Tim standing behind the couch with an octave mandolin and a steel guitar....Tim plays the former on It Came Upon A Midnight Clear and the latter on Silent Night).

Tim also plays guitar on It Came Upon A Midnight Clear. It is in 6/8 time. I transpose all time signatures into 4/4 so it seemed appropriate. He also added vocals to Oh Holy Night. If  you want MP3s of these songs. Shoot me an email at patrick (at) thanatos (dot) biz. I will send them your way.

I did think about recording a Hannukah song but the only one I know is lame....forgive me that.

Silent Night

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

O Holy Night

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS  & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

Peace on Earth

OK. It didn't occur to me to do a video of this until we had already started. Above is our reenactment of my playing.
If you hear Tim Larson was strangled by his neighbors?
Silent Night, reverb night....
I really need an Octave Mandolin. Can't play it but I still need one.
Silent Night, Red Stripe night....
