This is a snippet of acoustic guitar recorded a year or so ago which was already loaded with effects. I ran that through paulstretch and came up with this. It created almost orchestral or choral sounds in places.

Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!

Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
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’m not going to comment on all of these - all my old comments still apply and it’s looking like I spam you. Have always treasured this collection. Just a sublime piece of invention. Kudos.
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date

Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall.
The title comes from a quote from…
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
Written and recorded sometime in 2008.
I was a bit hesitant to upload this one, but I do think the melody is rather nice... :)
One of the first tunes I wrote and recorded with the RC-20 looper given to me by Kirk Lynch. Don't remember much…
Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country.

I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.
I recorded my voice…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah.

Caged as a bird
free will is such a bitch
it's your responsibility to stay alive
pay the bills etc, etc

For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…

I have the sleezy dive all picked out. Come by any time! If we do it up right we'll both end up in the county slammer! Laughed my butt off!
Fascinating! No one else sounds like you for sure!!
Awesome toucans! Love that lead melody
Very cool sounds
Love the doubled panned guitars. Great feel to this one!
Jeez- why the hesitation? This is gorgeous! Love the harmony guitars
Sounds like a road trip tune. Good luck with the move- it's always a pain in the rear. Nice tune man!
This just tears me up. I hope comments are working again. Beautiful!
How very inventive of you. Nice track!
I like the way you've blended different styles on this one. Cool!
Wonderful melodies and great vocals
I tried to comment on this one this morning, but it didn't go through. Hope this one does. This just a wonderful track!
This is just fabulous! Touching!
How creative! Great stuff!
Great fun. A really great 24hr effort altogether!
Has kind of a Floyd vibe about it- like it!
Yes- I could get lost in this space. Nice stuff!
Needs to be a soundtrack for a film. Nice!
I've run out of superlatives to describe your voice! Love the chord progression too
Absolutely gorgeous track guys!
