Flood of new music!
I’d like to offer you three new songs: “Sleep,” “Impression, Part II“, and “Happier With You.” These make up more of the “Sleep” release. Sleep, from April 2010, is a song I put together as a bit of a scherzo – “hmm, let’s see what I can do with these chord shapes” – and I [...]
Two new songs: Impression and Aurora!
New music at last! What’s even better, these pieces are way, way better than the others in the current release cycle, to the point where they’re likely to make the other pieces just go away. The first is “Aurora,” an instrumental. It was interesting to record; this is actually the third version recorded. The first [...]
Music: Dream
New music online! Dream is a new piece, the first one I’ve really felt good about since I finished the “Time and Distance” CD. The new collection’s title: “Sleep.” (Go figure.) This one’s interesting to me – it actually started with six or seven rhythm guitar tracks, all sort of syncopated together for a “wave” [...]
This Ain’t Jazz
“This Ain’t Jazz” is a piece I put together partly because I really wanted to play, like, real drums. See, here’s the thing: I started on drums, back in 1980 or so, in the Wildwood Middle School Guitar Group, which basically played a set of hits, based on the skills of the students at the [...]
Doppler Video, except a real one this time
I published a new video of Doppler this morning. I know it seems like I’m focusing on Doppler almost exclusively lately, but I’m not: it’s just a short piece that I know well enough to be comfortable about playing with it. (The 7/4 bridge was actually put in for the video, and it turns out [...]
New Music: Deluded, and new version of Doppler
Two more trackses! Deluded is new; Doppler is an older instrumental, but this is a better studio version than my “video.” “Deluded” was an interesting piece that came out of nowhere. It has six tracks’ worth of acoustic; it’s got a pretty big sound, I think. The bass was incredibly hard to record, for some [...]
New Music: Ordinary Day and Split Personality
Two new recordings; one is “Ordinary Day,” a concept I’ve had bouncing around in my head for a while, and the other is “Split Personality,” which is an instrumental I put together while playing around with the upbeat. The etymology of both songs is kinda funny. “Ordinary Day” is what I heard in my head [...]
A VIDEO of Doppler!
Sorry, folks, you knew it would happen someday. I recorded a video. It’s just me playing my twelve-string, so don’t expect Kanye to crash a stage yowling about it, but hey!
New music, sort of, along with some really old music
I just uploaded even more music, and I replaced some stuff I uploaded yesterday. The new recording is “Sun and Moon,” sans the six words it’s supposed to have, mostly because my son tells me – rather politely – that singing is not my thing. I’m including the spoken word in that, because … well, [...]
New Music: “Unbloodied”
Yes, it’s that time of the … wait, what time is it? Anyway, “Unbloodied” is the latest thing I’ve thrown together. It’s a bit of a departure, because apparently that’s what I’m doing lately – “Echoes” was pretty normal for me, I suppose, but that’s a happy accident. Four guitars (three acoustic, one electric), a [...]
