A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

yeah, i just checked out Kirk's site. Those look like some sweep pipes! Wish I could afford your talented craftsmanship, those instruments look very inspiring!

this is absolutely one of the most tasteful acoustic guitar pieces i've ever heard. the transitions are all natural and believable. this is incredible, and i mean that sincerely. i like the rest of what you've recorded, but i really enjoyed listening to this. it caught my attention and held it on more than one occasion.
your guitar work is great. it's so reminiscent of something and i just can't figure it out...it's like the result of david gilmour and robert fripp's kids having a kid.

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
digital metronome noise kills me. it's sort of like a less irritating alarm clock, and if there is any single noise that totally destroys my happiness it's alarm clock buzzing.
other than the metronome, though, this song is awesome. it's very unique, though i'm trying to pinpoint something it sounds similar to. i don't know if it's the reversed guitar that gives off a robert fripp vibe, or if i'm just projecting that because of your electric guitar jams cover.
either way, i dig the music. i'm listening to 'sunday afternoon' now. you're an accomplished guitar player. i really love the subtlety and texture of the synth noise, or whatever is going on in the background. this is all great so far.

Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing

What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman

It's not unusual to chase your girl around with a dull axe, is it? Just kidding - This was 60 tracks and almost a year to finish. I had some help:

It's us playing with words and instruments doing some magic! No skills, some drugs here.

I like to jam with my buddy Chris, but he gets tired after just a few songs. One day, on his way out the door I started playing this (the original chorus was: Chris is pussin out, he is going home . . .)

Zona (Russian word for 'zone') was inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's movie Stalker where the protagonist takes his guests to a 'forbidden zone' to experience glimpses of an alternative reality.
This song is pretty much how I feel on most days . . .

Today, the Ableton folks surprised us all with the release of 8.2 which came with a new plugin called Amp. Of course, that meant a bunch of presets to explore...
Without aiming to do anything, I happened on these four presets (played simultaneously…

What can I say? well, thanks for the comments! It still amzes me that my solitary style (when the whole song is me myself and I) makes it over to you all. And that you "get" what I try to do in the arranging, that it's ok to emphasize the mood…
The next step in the progression of this song... It still needs quite a bit of cleanup (and some extra arranging), but it's getting there.
Hey, everyone writes songs about falling in love (which for me was, like, seventeen years ago), so I thought…

Experimenting with the bass sound in this track is what made bass the focus of my RPM album, where previously I hadn't given much thought to bass tone.

nice classical/electric sound and good fretboard work i especially liked the chromatic downdrift in the main chordal theme.
this sounds incredibly familiar.. but I cannot seem to put my finger on it... Very nice melodies.
such a lovely vibe on this one. And thanks for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it!
I like this one a lot. Very nice feel to it.
A thing of beauty. Especially the bow parts :-)
