Another song being rearranged for Valkania and live performances as a rock trio - We Live The Life.

Listen the new demo, and compare with the old recordings here.

Preparing Valkania's repertoire, I rearranged our old Balkanized arrangement of Paint It Black.

Read about it and listen here.

I started arranging London's Rebetiko for a string quartet. Listen to demo recordings here.

I updated the tabs and notations for 'The Rush', a Greek Duet Bouzouki instrumental in Karsilamas, 9/8 Time Signature (2+2+2+3/8).

The notations live here:

I just updated the bouzouki tabs and standard notation files for Jovo Vlavot, a Greek bouzouki instrumental in Rebetiko style. Added  a full staff (instead of the 1-liner staff) rhythm pattern and bar numbers.

The song and its notation files lives here: tabs-notation.bandcamp.com/album/jovo-vlavot

I have also published a series of shorts from the first part of the performance, where I discuss Aksak (odd time signature) rhythms and their histories, with music examples.

London's Rebetiko is a Greek baglamas instrumental in a four dotted quarters time signature. While |I have written baglamas tablature and standard notation, today I also added guitar tabs - an arrangement of the original baglamas melody. 

I also added a rhythm template suggestion.
