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.
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:
Guitars: Tony W
Fadeout Solo: Gnasty
Acoustic/Rhythm Guitars: Me
Phone Message: Tony W &…
It's us playing with words and instruments doing some magic! No skills, some drugs here.
My cousin is playing the guitar again and claps logarithmically into my ramblings. ")
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 . . .

LYRICS:
Make waves to
amplify the sound
Send in the tide
Breath aches
as the breaker breaks
I need a bride
Anointed knight

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…
Came up with this Before bed last night.
Had to record it this morning so I wouldn't forget the Sound of it...
Live recording
I'll do a better version when I have more time...
Well.... Off to work for me...
This is…
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…

Portland, Oregon earns its reputation for being a rainy city through its behavior in the winter season when the sky is cloudy and precipitous almost every day. The rest of the year, it's gorgeous and…

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 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...
