The Wheel Keeps Turning (instrumental)-A rock inspired instrumental
This instrumental version of Wheel Keeps Turning (vocal version as recorded by Cherry Pill) reflects the the ever-changing seasons of life. The song draws on imagery from the world around to represent how life and times can change.
‘Seasons come, seasons go, but there’s one thing that I know; it’s that the wheel comes around again’.
The song could be described as well delivered rock sound where the solo violin melody pairs up with the gritty guitars, including some blues-tinged phrasing and a bit of dramatic flair in the string accompaniment.

Guess who made a guest appearance at yesterday’s music video shoot? Everything was perfect, the rain held back, the golden sunlight softly lighting the veld scene where we were about to shoot a music video for Christmas. Then just as we were ready to begin, the local grazers decided they would like to feature in the video and wandered into shot!
This week I got to dust off my viola for a session on a Spanish track. The lovely alto sound is just perfect for a sultry Spanish song.
Tears That Flow (Instrumental) is a violin led version of a vocal song I wrote and released by the same name with my band Cherry Pill. Listen out for soaring melodic choruses and pensive verse parts.The song was inspired by overcoming a period of physical and personal drought. Tears that Flow recalls the feeling of longing for the return of something you once had or a hunger for something new. The contemplative ‘Tears That Flow’ will gently take you to that place of yearning.

As all things turning increasingly online, I have been trying my hand (or fingers as it were) at online session work.
Very happy to have had some contented clients in the past few weeks.The most recent project had this to say
‘Kristel did an amazing job on my track. She was easy to work with, and got the job done more than on time. The recording quality and performance were both excellent. I just got the first mix back from the mixing engineer who’s working on my album with me, and your violin part had me in tears this time. Thanks again!’
So glad to be included on the Melody Nest roster as a session musician. Looking for any string recordings for an upcoming project? Get in touch for blazing solo violin leads or warm, cosy string sections for your next song.

It’s the start of the rainy season here in Gauteng with some big downpours. It reminded me of a recent improvisation I did on ‘Singing in the Rain’ the carefree song from the 1952 film of the same name. Hope it brightens your day!
