THese are all very relaxing.Meditative even.
Makes me want to go reconsider my instrumental pieces.
I'm listening at work while formatting hard Drives, and a co-worker was interested , so I sent her the link.
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.

thanks! these are just short brainstorms... you are right, the last one sounds like an ending to a track... Maybe that's what it will eventually become, who knows!
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…

I think if I was going to write...which I promise myself one day that I will...I would use this track for inspiration. When I listen a little story unfolds in my mind. Very nice.

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

Enchanting. There are a bunch of little tricks up your sleeve here, nice note bending and (tongue?) tremolo... skillfully played, I enjoyed letting it unfold around me.

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…

Great playlist. Good to hear some nice mellow guitar-based instrumentals. Not that I'm biased or anything...

Something different indeed, but beautiful nevertheless. I love the sound of those pipes.
So nice, good man! Contemplative, fluid. Sinking in...
Very nice acoustic guitar sound and enchanting chords. Very nice instrumental.

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!
