Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow

Shout out to Tom Waits, one of my favs. Rumor has it, he has had a similar problem with his piano.
I didnt think I would make it signing this way to the end of the song, lol.
Throat lozenge anyone??
This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head.
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:

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…

Beautiful soundscape on that acoustic and lovely playing. Reminds me of an English guitarist named Adrian Legge.
Something about this reminds me of Pillow of Winds by Pink Floyd. Something ethereal.

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!
