I didnt think I would make it signing this way to the end of the song, lol.

I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…
I just made this.
Some reasons I haven't uploaded anything here in a year and a half:
- A lot of the projects I've spent the most time on are very complex, so they quickly burn me out as I'm trying to keep a clear picture of the whole thing…
Well it's been awhile for me. Busy summer and a bit of creative block all around. I'm happy to share a song I wrote this weekend to reflect on how tough change can be when you're in the midst of it. So many in my life are in the midst of personal…

Over a month of hourly time lapse (night edited out) with 17 note per octave ambient guitar accompaniment. This is probably the longest project I’ve set out to do. I left my time lapse camera in the kitchen window filming the tree in my backyard…

Post-rock Waits? Why not!
Extraordinary mix/soundfield on this. Sounded like the clocks were external to my headphones, several feet away.
other times it can be a sweet deal
Excellent playlist!
Glad you're back! More please!
Thanks. This is beautiful, welcome back. I've been thinking about that difference a lot lately.
thanks, Cap, the amp on Remnento is Logic's "boutique retro amp"
..and he was right about the Esus2 chord from the train whistle. Amazing.
Neat!
Been listening to Ry Cooder soundtrack music, and this fits right in, great mood and guitar tone and concept.
you out Neil Young-ed Neil Young!
Well done! And the whistle fits like a glove.
This is beautiful, the notes hang in the air like snowflakes lit by a full moon.
Lovely!
