Shangri-La from Wavelengths by Waterhouse

Instrumentation (in order of appearance): Shruti Box (A/E), Fretless Acoustic Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Udu, Shakers, Triangle, Cowbell

At about 1:29 into this track you’ll hear a pairing of sounds I discovered and became obsessed with throughout this album: the doubling of banjo and electric guitar. Together, the twang of the banjo in tandem with the warm attack of the flat wound strings on my electric guitar created a lovely tone I would describe as bubbly and hypnotic. You’ll hear the banjo more prominently in the left speaker, electric guitar in the right.

Waterhouse is the music of Chris Paradis on vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, percussion, ukulele, whatever else is lying around and also involving the occasional collaboration with a friend. For booking or music lessons, you can reach him at waterhousemusiclessons@gmail.com.
