The Golden Tapes - Volume One | farleymusicservices

An Album by Tom Farley...

Featuring New Levels of Original Songwriting,

Performance, Engineering, and Production.

Written, Performed, Produced, Engineered, and Mastered

at Farley Music Services, Virginia Beach, VA
by Tom Farley

It constitutes a new production of original songs.

Each finished song was created using the original recording (1974 to the Present)

to provide the basic foundation for engineering the complete AI Assisted or Audio Stem Production.

The original song creation and recording had already been completed 40-50 years earlier.

At that time, each original song had its own lyrics, melody, harmonies,

rhythm instrument performances, lead instrument performances, bass performances,

keyboard and string performances, tempo, and vocal range.

Each Original Song recording (from 1974 to the Present) was

produced, recorded, and engineered by either

Tom Farley, Steve Gallagher, and/or Todd Gallagher.

Below the playlist are liner notes (click here)

for each of the songs, authors, artists, and genres represented.
