A simple 3-part "round" or canon with variations, showing my children how you can devise a melody that can stack on top of itself like offset puzzle pieces, which will then make its own harmony (with a nod to the master of rounds and fugues, J…
oh yeah, the earthquake was a bit strong, I was working sitting in front of my computer when some books fell down and I got scared but nothing bad happened, we are ok, this earthquake had its epicenter in my town!. Thanks for careing... by the way, everytime I hear "a Round & Bach Again" I think again that is just great!
Lyrics:
I'm not sleeping
I'm staring at the ceiling
My mind's a thousand miles away
I'm finding faces in the shapes
of plaster that was scraped on the ceiling
Killing time is not so bad
but when you're trapped inside your head…
it is a dream of the guitar. the concert is finished. the guitarist is asleep. the guitar is still awake, dreaming of the exciting evening. it continues to vibrate and sing in the darkness of the guitar case. however, there is nobody to listen. it sings a serenade to itself. it remembers the warmth of the evening. it must wait until tomorrow for another performance. this is a good dream. 0x0
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…
it begins as an indonesian march. perhaps a malay in the melee with a backpack of dinner. it then becomes lighter. it is evening after dinner on the mountain. the stars come out and dance on clouds of the moon. a didgeridu paints tasmanian cave images, however, the sitar brings a scent of indian curry to the table. it is an international feast. 0x0

Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Musta been December cause the air mighty cold
A family was moving in, further down the road
They were not the colour of the others in the street
All the kids were laughing at the trainers on their feet
I was only young and so I guess I laughed…

Warmth rises lazily from the gentle guitar/singing, very enjoyable writing and singing in this. Here's to fathers and daughters sharing their talent!

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
there is a great melodic feel to this study
super clean guitar sounds, too
you're a 'fera' of the fretboard, as the brazilians would say.
(fera= 'wild animal' - which somehow gets used colloquially as "musical genius")
thanks for your kind words re: Wanna go home.
The chords are taken from a bossa nova tune - Quando Chegares - by Carlos Lyra - a great bossa songwriter.

Close your eyes, and come with me. It is a warm Autumn eve in the Black Forest. There are ancient folk tales about this magical wood... how late at night it comes to life with mischievious fairies and wood nymphs. Any mortal who hears the unusual…
shutting my eyes - i was back in brazil - the rainforest there is alive with many things - both fairy and non-fairy.
thanks for this beautiful piece of "forest" music!
