This is probably my last track for this year’s RPM Challenge (leaving it incomplete for 2011). I’m kind of worn out and not feeling super inspired this year and I sort of feel like I’m repeating myself. Then there’s that sound in my head I just never seem to achieve. Might work on that a bit. Anyway, thanks so much for listening…
I've been listening to your "Couleurs" sequence with great admiration. Your palette is spot-on; the music is beautiful, evocative, and insinuating, and your playing has the finesse (and occasional conscious ferocity) of a Toulouse-Lautrec, or one of Monet's late self-portraits. Brilliant stuff, which really gets under your skin!
Outstanding track, Doug!... I couldn't even conceive of the kinds of sounds that must be in your head if this isn't it... You really are on a higher plane of music my friend.
Very cool track man! If you ever achieve that sound in your head tell me how you did it because I never have either!
This is the first of yours I've heard - you don't sound worn out to me... know how you feel though! Love the feeling this one gives off.
It must be a great feeling even so, Doug. I am on my 10th track today. I like the eastern feel to this one.
