Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
...nice energy here, man. I like the freshness I pick up in much of what you are writing/performing.
Thanks for your interest/comments. Maybe we can colab. on something some time soon.
Peace- kss
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

So, while tinkering in your shop you spy the new H4 sitting there, beckoning. You grab the guitar and spontaneously generate this very pretty thing, to break in the H4. It's another impressive performance! To respond to your question... I plan to be here, at least to listen to the great music. Barriers to recording include all the usual, oceans, stubborn equipment, yada yada. Eventually, there will be more music.
Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is
Kirk, thanks so much for your nice comment. I miss hanging out with all my friends that were in this band, but I must admit I miss working Chris Mitchell the most. His guitar playing was top notch & always surprised me in really cool ways. One of the hardest parts about leaving Dallas for Tennessee was ending that musical collaboration that had been ongoing for nearly a decade...
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…

I hesitate to upload this, but there are a couple folks around who like this sort of thing. This is an edited down version of a jam I had with myself back at the end of 2007. Live to 2 tracks with the aid of the Jamman. I think it was the first…

Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…
I've been working on this one little by little; now I'm at a point where I do not feel like revisiting the feeling. Moves from 3/4 to 4/4, or so I think.. kind of like a 7/4 time sig but not really. typical glu instrumentation, etc.
Everyone…
School started on September 8th, so I haven't been doing a lot; this is my first piece all week, and I wrote it in about 3 hours, so it isn't that great... My definition of not that great is getting better, though... It's a nice piece, I think…
We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed.
We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…
An experiment in simplicity. Back to the basics. It's the only counter to stagnation. Don't over think!
This was pieced together quickly while in front of the microphone. Revisiting the editing/mastering process was fun.
Used:
Martin…
A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.
This is my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)
I just read your comment that said these were all IMPROVISED? My admiration for your skills, which was substantial already, just went up another couple of notches!!
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
@Mannequin Races. Thanks - I was not sure about the mix- Just got sick of messing with it! The lead tone was recorded with a Rode NT1A into the Zoom H4N with an edited preset that was a vocal mic pre in combo with pretty extreme compression. I was kinda going for the sound of single line stuff on a classical guitar, but don't have one!
This song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.

wow, that's some gnarly guitar work!

Nice and fresh sense of development here, man. Thanks for the kind comments earlier. ks
This whole jam is great, I really dig your style of playing on this piece, and I especially love the lick about 2:40 or so... so smooth...
beautifully done!
...beautiful decisions/arpeggions --you texture-meister --RICH ; thanks for the soulful sounds (Also- thanks for the encouraging notice.)
@ LAM- thanks for the comments man- much appreciated. I wish the axe was attached a little better most of the time :)
Is that guitar humanly attached to your hip, you both sound as one:)
Wow! Awesome..are you related to Santana..
Short but sweet, I like it..
Love it!
Awesome man!
