Sweepingly romantic. I probably wouldn't pan the instruments so far apart, it sounded a little "spread out" in headphones. But the lyric tune and the nice orchestration were very sweet. I see a father smiling. :-)
How wonderful to play the piano like you do Lalo, I particularly like the very melodic pieces probably because I don't really know much about classical music. But I can tell you are very, very good. Cheers Bethan
In one part I harmonized the E Phrygian intro with G Mixolydian, thought that was kinda neat. In the original tune I like the lyrics: "I am not a sailor, I am a captain, I am a captain." Electric guitar kicks in around the half way point.
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
This is a classical finger picked blues / classical guitar solo hybrid with lexicon reverberation and freeze pedal. There is some sloppiness. The idea was to push myself in playing and what I was playing melodically and harmonically.
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
This an improvisation in 17 notes per octave with layered software synthesizers. Specifically, various percussion ensembles, french horn, piano, and two synthesizers. At one point I forgot what in the world I was doing because I transposed the…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
"As we grow up, we always carry our inner child with us. Wonder and curiosity... there are so many things the child sees. However, this is a view from above. We are now adults with good and bad experiences of life, looking inward. It is time…
I'm working on making this old song from Two Old Friends into a better version. Today I got inspired to pick up my daughter's 3/4 size Martin (which makes the runs easier) and recorded this on my Zoom H2.
I resorted to some unmarked old CDRs in the car today on my way to and from my Dad's (I brought him a new laptop) and found one of the earlier collaborations between Norm and myself.
This is dedicated to the families who have (and still…
Comments on Lalo Oceja's stuff
Excellent!
You're a very talented man Lalo!!
Stirring stuff!
Lovely stuff once again. You're a talented composer!!
Beautifully played.
wow, really nice! an indirect collab with pops.

Your Dad composed a very pretty tune Lalo. Oh my.
Lovely! I see where you got the talent!!
Just heard about the earthquake in your city today... hope you are OK!

One of your most beautiful!!
I think this is your lovliest piece Lalo, such a pretty melody and so tenderly played.
Truly beautiful! (Bethan has melted. In my kitchen.)
Lovely melody, this is love story stuff.
Excellent... a longing lament that brings out the rich quality of the cello nicely.
I enjoyed this, but could have enjoyed a few more doubled notes for harmony here and there (like the last chord at the end.) These are all very nice.
This movement has a little mischief in it.
This definitely creates a mood of melancoly. Excellent cello recording, good use of dynamics for the expressiveness of the music.
Very sweet waltz, slow and warm... and slightly quirky, with a little smile. I like it. I hope your daughter does too.
