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…

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.
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
but how you enslave yourself
whether or not you enslave yourself
it's up to you
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…

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!
great again!!!

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!
