A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.
i am the anaconda! aside from the mythological creature in the photo, there was no additional enhancement! Those mineral rich spring waters in Costa Rica are incredibly turquoise. They also have a very cathartic affect on the body.. euphoric...

now i'm getting the picture of a sad cowboy clown riding his horse into a storm... makeup dripping off the face... sandbags.. i think you are onto something.

I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
maybe a good place to start is 'brainstorms' playlist to check out stuff I've played. It certainly can be difficult navigating through the pages. cheers, and thanks for the question!
I'm not sure what you've heard or not, but I always specify in the track descriptio when someone else is playing something, and I usually list the instrumentation when it's more than synth+drum programming. If all you've heard are songs with samples from other folks then you haven't heard much... the majority of tunes with real instruments are performed by me. You may here me playing any of the following: two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (usually played with a bow) violin, fretless bass, 7 different bamboo flutes, 4 clay flutes, didgeridoo, kalimba, I was borrowing two tablas and a tambourine from a friend but I had to return them. Also play the kitchen sink, keys, pots and pans, hooves and other household items.
DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to be good at any of these instruments! :-)
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
thanks everyone for all the thoughtful comments, and thanks Su for privileging me with that wonderful piano performance. @ Drakonis: love the pun haha. The 'ebow' part is an actual bow over electric guitar strings, but I wish I had an ebow- they can sound amazing. @ K. Scot Sparks: man you have some amazing sounds and moods, would love to bring some elements together. Hook a brotha up with some stems!
Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

story: wings of chaos, wings of beauty. h.g. wells awakens from cyber-sleep in the "Chrysalis". the steam-driven moth-ship is now traveling slowly across an immense nebula. the engine's motoric rhythm generates the soundtrack to the view from…
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…

A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.

I'm on my fifth coffee of the day, so I know where this one is coming f-f-f-f-f-f-f-from. N-n-n-n-nice work D-D-Don G.
Stunning.

no plans. just discovered it. I have no idea what to do... but I'm glad I found it! I really like the way you characterized the feel of the tune.
Oooh- Lovely dark ambient quality
Thanks for listening indeed. I appreciate the encouraging word on mi stuff-- You certainly have some beauties here. : ) : ) : ))))))
actually this one was inspired by honey nut cheerios, and it will likely never see the light of day. I need to eat breakfast more frequently.
that was me.. not some creepy guest haha

Nice Textures...Cheers Glu!

Cyborg jazz indeed- very cool
Nice one Glu I Love a good Storm
Tiger Lovin' or sad clown cowboy. Either way would make for provocative lyrics... or i can write about how I'm about to be late for class. gah!
now i'm getting the picture of a sad cowboy clown riding his horse into a storm... makeup dripping off the face... sandbags.. i think you are onto something.
