Hey 3speak and Hive Music Lovers!

Immerse yourself in the mystical, folk tinged sounds of "Echoes of Avalon," a fusion of electronic and folk music that transcends the boundaries of genre and time. This track, born from the heart of Somerset's most enigmatic landmark, Glastonbury Tor, invites you on a journey through the mists of Avalon, where history, legend, and the magic of music intertwine.

Filmed at sunset atop the Tor, with the ancient St. Michael's Tower silhouetted against the setting sun, this video is more than a tune—it's a pilgrimage into the soul of one of Britain's most sacred sites. The fusion of electronic beats with traditional folk instruments creates a sonic odyssey that echoes the mystical allure of the Tor, capturing the essence of its spiritual heritage and the panoramic beauty of its surroundings.

"Echoes of Avalon" is a tribute to the stories and legends that have been passed down through generations, a modern ode to the ancient and the timeless. As you listen, allow yourself to be transported to a place where the veils between worlds are thin, and the spirits of the past dance in the light of the present.

This track is dedicated to all wanderers, dreamers, and seekers of the hidden paths. May it inspire you to explore the depths of your own spirit and the mysteries that lie just beyond the horizon.

Join us on this odyssey. Experience the magic of Glastonbury Tor and the echoes of Avalon that linger in the air, in the earth, and in the melodies we share.

🎶🌲 Premiere Alert: The Dartington Chase 🌲🎶

Troublemakers, we're thrilled to unveil "The Dartington Chase" - a tune that transports you into the heart of an exhilarating chase across Dartmoor's untamed landscapes. Picture this: a daring band of thieves, treasures in hand, fleeing from the Royal Cavalry after a heist at the Dartington Estate.

Our latest creation is a dramatic, folk-infused saga where the Octave Violin and a driving acoustic guitar weave a story of tension, danger, and breathtaking escapes. The piece crescendos in a cinematic build-up that feels like it's made for the big screen, inspired by the mystic allure of the Dartmoor.

"The Dartington Chase" was born in one of our places of Creative Refuge, bringing to life the legends and spirit of the Dartmoor. Captured by Stefanie Tendler's lens on the majestic bluffs overlooking the Dart and Totnes, this music video is a visual and auditory odyssey you won't want to miss.

Experience the thrill, the drama, and the beauty of "The Dartington Chase." Let's set the mood for an adventure! 🏹💎🏞️

Hey 3speakers and Hive Music Lovers!

In the serene embrace of St Ives, where the cliffs stand as timeless witnesses to the endless tales of the sea, we find a moment of pure musical alchemy. Amidst this natural amphitheater, overlooking the vast, azure Atlantic ocean, a violin and a guitar come together in an improvisation that transcends time and space.

Filmed on the breathtaking cliffs of St Ives, this improvisation is as much a celebration of nature's grandeur as it is of human creativity and connection. It's a reflection on the journey, the stories we gather, and the universal language of music that speaks to every soul.

We invite you to join us in this moment of reflection and beauty. Let the music take you to that cliffside in St Ives, where the sea meets the sky, and where every note tells a story of hope, adventure, and the enduring spirit of exploration.

Hey Vibes and 3speak music community!

This week we wanted to share something with you that is truly special. First, it's important to note that we are fully aware that this will not count toward the official submissions for week 3 of the Vibes Web3 Music competition and will not be eligible to win, but we wanted to share it here anyway. We are full time touring artists on the road and aren't always able to have the time and stable internet access to be able to edit and prepare social media content, but it is a special experience and would be a shame to never share it here with the community.

This was played and filmed inside of the Milbury's pub in Bishop's Waltham, UK. We were taken here by some friends on an "off day" in between concerts and took one listen to the acoustics in this room and said "we need to film here..." What you are seeing is a 250year old Treadmill which was errected about a 300 foot stone well.We lowered a microphone into the well to pick up the natural reverberation of the chamber and played a new piece from us called "Sariette", a progressive version of which will be released in the next month on all of our digital streaming platforms.

We hope you enjoy listening to this piece and it will excite you to listen to the produced version in the next weeks. If you are living in the UK or Netherlands and are able to come to a show this month, we would LOVE to have you in attendance. It is always wonderful to see fellow Hive community members at our shows.

This will be posted to our X channel in the hopes of introducing more of our community to the Hive blockchain.

Good luck to all the participants in the Competition. We have seen some great submissions.

Hive on!

Hey 3speak and Hive music Lovers!

When you go to a concert, you will see the show that is prepared for you. Countless hours of rehearsal and preparation that goes into the show.. but sometimes the "real" musical moments happen in the backstage. If you've been following us here, you know that we have been full-time traveling musicians for a decade. We play 50+ shows per year across multiple continents and meet a lot of incredible performers and creatives along the way. That often culminates in a backstage "session", where we get together either before or after the show and just have a bit of a jam. Truthfully, this is where the real mooments of creation often happen.

In sessions you are experiencing a real moment of connection. You are free to make mistakes without judgment of the audience, and so you can push the bounds of your creativity. You are exchanging your vibes and passions with others. It is a raw moment of art.

This is a video of a little pre-show session that we had over the weekend. It's very folky, but we were just warming up a bit before taking the stage a few minutes later. There is something beautiful about this moment, seeing the smiles and the happiness on our faces as we jam together on a new theme for the first time.

Hey 3Speakers, DND enthusiasts and Fantasy Lovers!

The past month we've been doing a lot of fun little covers of our favorite DND music from the Critical Role and Baldur's Gate 3 world. The past years we have built an intimate relationship with the Fantasy Festival communities in Europe and began consuming a lot of the content and creating stories and roleplaying in search of inspiration.

This version of "Your Turn to Roll", the theme music from Critical Role's 2nd Campaign, is done in our Bard Rock style. We posted it up on our twitter and Sam Riegel, who is the original writer of the song, even gave us a shoutout - which was pretty awesome!

Let us know what you think! Should we do more versions of theme and game music like this?!

Hey 3Speak and Hive game lovers and music enthusiasts!

This weekend we bring you a reimagination of the track "Weeping Dawn" from Baldur's Gate 3. The song is one of the more sweet and beautiful ones from the game, sung by Alfira when you first meet her in the Emerald Grove. So - inspired by the Dark Urge character, we imagined a scene where he comes back to the Grove to burn it down with Minthara, and as it burns he plays Alfria's beautiful song in a dark, gritty rock style!

This one rocks hard! Hope you enjoy it Gamers! What tracks should we do next?

Hey 3Speak and Hive Gamers!

We have got a special gaming inspired cover for you today! This one is a beautiful song written by Borislav Slavov for Baldur's Gate 3 called "Weeping Dawn". It is sung by Alfira and is one of the softer and more beautiful songs of the game. Some of our followers on X had the idea that we should do our own Rock Violin version of this track. It didn't feel like Alfira's song anymore, SO, we imagined it being played by Dark Urge as he burns the Grove to the ground. It's like the Ultimate Troll....

Do you like thsi version? We've done most of the songs from Baldur's Gate 3 in the past weeks and are thinking to release a full album of DND/BG3 music.

What songs/games should we do next?

Hey Vibe and Hive Music Lovers!

This is our 2nd week entry for the Vibes Weekly music contest. The tune is an older one from us called "Duke of the Bello", written about our early years on Portobello Road in London back in 2013. Since we're off on tour for the next 5 weeks, we thought it would be fitting to play the song about London, where we end the tour!

If you're located anywhere in the Southern-half of England or the Netherlands/Belgium, we would love to have you at one of our shows next month! All the details are on our website: http://www.thetroublenotes.com

Thanks for listening! and HIVE on!

3speakers and Hive music lovers! What a tune!

We've posted up a little rendition of "Gerudo Valley" from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. One of the best games of the franchise and the soundtrack is a HUGE reason why! Brilliant music. We really felt like we were in Spain when we played this one.
