The Apple-Tree Man

The Apple-Tree Man

by Aiden Black

Composed by: Bricheno, Cousin & Regan

Originally performed by All About Eve

This piece started life as an experiment to see how realistic I could make my guitar noise sound. I am still not completely happy with it, but while I was messing around with it I had the idea of trying to transcribe this song. It gradually turned into an experiment to see if I could mimic the dreamy sound 'All About Eve' have perfected. At first, I had the guitar chords being 'strummed' using a faster arpeggio effect. This sounded too abrupt, so I settled for the slower arpeggio to create a 'plucked' sound.

You may have noticed that when you typed 'info' the title stayed still. This is achieved with a window in the 'RUN' word. If you go digging to find the window, it works like this:
