Wow, I'm loving your ambient stuff especially! This is wonderful! She's walking along the shore at dusk, contemplating if there is anywhere else to go...ever... *goes off in to dream*
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
Intriguing, love the ascending motif where you play guitar along with the synth bells, very dreamy sequences. I'm not sure I like the breathy hiss that comes and goes in some spots (side-effect of guitar effects, or separate synth?) but the rest of this is great.
neat. Difficult mood change at 1:55 ish... and it's smoothed over really well. Ah, back down at 2:18 . You keep the motion swirly and ambient. the pans on the different instruments keeps the mix fascinating. Keep working on these guys... I love it.
Goodness... very nice bright gitz. Makes me want to pick one up and play along. Such a welcoming tune. Wow... I'm not usually much for single instrument tracks. You've got so much expression in that guitar. Wait a sec... do I hear breaths? I'm sure you wanted that in the mix, right? Neat. The human feel is great!
That's a good pan on the gitz and pads. The bass is perfectly mellowed out, but present. I really like this mix. The drums seem to have just the right touch of reverb. Simple too, not distracting. Hrm. The composition is swell, the subtle key change is good at shifting the mood. You might want to try adding subtle taps and deep, barely audible thumps to the drums. But then, I think you can tell I'm biased there. I love percussion. I enjoyed this blend. Perhaps you'll get a chance to experiment more and throw in several more atmospheres.
Wow... you really laid some layers on the gitz. I enjoy the filter on the bell tone, but the feedback/Q/resonance on the filter is a little strong for my tastes. Still, the color is welcome. The mix is pretty focused... too. You might want to bring out the drums or pads a little more here and there. That's some... DANG... that's great layering tho. You gotta keep that up. Keep studying that, because some of these builds have me going back to school. Very nicely chilled... very well done. Thanks for sharing, friend.
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

I can't hide the fact that I've listened to Pierre Bensusan. Or that I've longed to return to Paris.
I hereby name this the "bridge to nowhere" mix since it was the musical content of the bridge that I spent the most time on.
If you've heard the song before, I've provided a shortcut video that plays the bridge from last night's version vs. tonight…
The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…
It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…

Late night improvisation in remembrance of my father.
That twanging sound at the beginning of the song is me putting my acoustic through an amp with all knobs on 10. Acoustics feedback at 440mhz, which is an A note. The song is in A. It kind of sounds like a high tension electrical wire.

After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
This is the audio version of my blacksmithing lesson from http://ironangelforge.blogspot.com/
This lesson is Blacksmithing Basics - Absolute Basics. It covers terms and the most basic tools in a quick overview, so that students of the craft…

Written in 1982 after a trip to Wyoming with a couple of Alex DeGrassi cassettes....
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
A Prog Rock instrumental with guitar and keyboard melodies and solos. Three parts to this song. Depicting peace and joy on The Path of Light. A cross between Yes and jam band music. Randal Pflum, all instruments except drums.

Wow, beautiful, intricate piece - caught me off guard.
I listened to a couple pieces and I'll certainly listen again. Nice work, great sound.
love the guitar. very airy.
very nice
Very beautiful. I won't insult you with the comparisons to other players. I'll just say that you're up there with them.
you must be my alter-ego (whatever that means)
Nice guitar sound! Fine tune!
Amazingly beautiful playing.
