I wrote this a few weeks before "Nonlateral Movements". Just sharing. I've always been intrigued with Cartegena, Colombia, so it was time to write about it.
There's some definate sadness going on, and that is also due to the history of the city, it's nearby fortress and where many Spanish armada's sailed to Europe from. All mixed with the beauty and charm of the city as well.
Enjoy.
New, a new video!

Thank you Oliver. 🙏
There are alleys filled with everything from danger, to passion. Some alleys you may find your fortune told, some your fortune stole. You can find love, and lose it not long after. Fortunately, there's always something new, something old. Market places, and beautiful gazes.
Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

Loving the reverb drenched guitars! Is that a resonator guitar I hear at 1:40?
Very atmospheric and kind of eerie.
Nice!

Thank you, soelerma!

Good call. I was going for a dream like feel with "Catagena", so the "atmospheric and eerie" feel was exactly the approach. I went a bit more wet (Lexicon 224) on the Yamaha Nylon APX-10N. I can see where you'd hear a resonator in that sound. I did as well after you mentioned it. No pick used there, only finger picking. So the ambience feel worked.

I'm currently making a video of Cartagena and will post the link when ready.

Cheers, brother!

A little love for Cartagena I always say.
I don't make a habit of bumping my stuff, but in this case, I'll make an exception.
Peace, out.

I appreciate the video with your music. Cartagena did have quite a dark history of battles, famine and decease, silver and slave trade, and political unrest. The images don't reflect that and why should they? But as you said earlier, there is sadness there which you captured in your music. So many cities in our world are like that. So does the architecture and harbor make this city or do the people?

Apologies for not responding sooner. Too busy this week and just got back from vaca. I thought summers were suppose to be relaxing. :)

Your questions are really over and above what's really a simple love song here.
Still, thank you for listening!
Best,
James
