This track hasnt started off sounding anything like this. I had a drum beat in my head, so I keyed it into my laptop, then edited it around and it ended up like this.
then i recorded everything, and just as i was about to save it.. EVERYTHING…
Its a song that was inspired by a dream I had. In fact.. it was the soundtrack to the dream. The ending is purposely left with a feeling of being not finished, as I can't remember how the dream ended.
I hope you all like it :)
Frustrated with how slow my solo acoustic/vocal songs are going, I decided to spend the weekend making something chilled out, just to relax myself and to let people know I haven't died.

Just playing around with my looper again. You can probably tell I love that thing.
I wanted to build up the tension and the harmony using overlapping layers of notes with basically the same rhythm.. so that the whole piece builds up and up and…
thanks guys :) @jarvis, I agree.. I think I may have waited a bit long with the alternate theme.
Although, I believe that the constant variation in the harmony and rhythm can justify the lack of variation in the theme, because the interest of the listener would be held by the variation in the harmony and rhythm. Much like Reich's Music for 18 musicians.

A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.

very nice track, however, im not sure about its length. It started getting a bit stale around the 3 minute mark.
I think the voices other than the main one should be a bit more visible, that way you would be much more able to control the dynamics and counterpoint of the melody.
Overall however, I very much enjoyed it :)
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.

absolutely no clue what to do with this. i figured if i released it, maybe it would garner some good ideas of how to continue the song and also just force me to have it on my mind in an attempt to motivate me to finish it.
This song was inspired by the heavy rains of the past two days, and my wife and I biding our time waiting for them to subside a bit so we could leave the house. The guitar is my old Alvarez classical with a microphone, then run through my RP350…

I tried to utilize the swelling of sound that can be created with a guitar to re-create the atmosphere around me (its been rainy all day, with some thunder in the background). This piece is semi improvisational, in that none of it was planned…

Love the groove and some of your unusual note choices. Tasty!
