Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
Cool bouncing groove, with interruptions that are so interesting they almost interrupt my breath - slippery punchy syncopated chords - all kinds of melody everywhere - the way the sounds sit in and around each other - really, really fun!
Thanks, bro.
Everything I do is recorded with a Boss Micro BR, either plugged in to the guitar jack or using the built in mic for acoustic/vox. Sometimes I'll upload the tracks to audacity for further mixing, but not very often.
Noodling around on my guitar one day, I started thinking about the role of my mother in my musical life. To the family, she brought music. She tried the piano lessons, didn't work. But she didn't give up. When school presented the opportunity…
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
I made a song out of the fable "The Boy and the Schoolmaster" by Jean De La Fontaine, that french writer from the 17th century.
And here's the story:
"
A boy, that frolicked on the banks of Seine,
Fell in, and would have found a watery grave…
This is my english version of Heysátan by Sigur Rós. It's not a direct translation but it's in principle the same song.
I know the guitar is a bit out of tune. The capo messed it up. Sorry for that.
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 something I did on my own a couple years ago that we're thinking of tackling as a band and including on our sophomore LP. It certainly has some different textures than what we're prone to churning out, so the re-arrangement process will…

This track started in 1999.
It was first made on an old JW50 Roland Workstation and then it took virtual dust for years, saved on a 720K Floppy Disk... I lost for all this time.
1 month ago I finally got it resurrected, added a guitar and changed…
Thamyris invented the 8 string Cithara and challenged the muses to a musical duel. His punishment for losing was to have his hands cut off. Now all he can do is imagine one last chattar solo as he takes his last breath. The gods have taken away…
Yo-Yo Ma uploaded this cello part on indabamusic and invited others to create with it. I thought it was a cool idea. I had help with this christmas song from Matthiew, a wandering Parisian trumpet player.
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

So glad you kept it simple...a touching tribute.
Mysterious butter! And now I feel odder than I already do.. :) Killer track!
I might as well favorite everything you do. This one's a real interesting listen. Nice groove and energy with wonderfully beautiful dissonance.

brings me memories of some retro film noirs from the 50s - and the mismatch with the kid(?) voice is excellent..
