An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
Could've been the soundtrack to the nightmare I had last night - I don't usually have them and this music immediately brought it all back! And judging by the title, this is a REALLY effective track! Very clever.
This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…
You all should check out MMI's music blog. My favorite quote from the last entry (regarding alonetone): "There is an ocean of music and I'm just peeing into it, enjoying the temporary warmth that affords."
Beautiful piece, outstanding sounds and such musical, melodic guitar playing, just the way I like it...and I think you play closer to my influences than I do :)

Written in 2010 for the wedding of a very good friend of mine, Jason. It was the processional, playing while the wedding crew walked down the aisle. Played it with montgomeru (who also wrote the recessional…
Nice track. Your signature scale :)
On the mixing: A friend of mine and I were talking about recording distortion and dealing with noise and he told me that he likes to layer his sounds. Rather than have a single track with distortion set to 8, he'll layer 4 tracks at 2 (conceptually). I have to play with this idea myself to fully understand it but figured I'd throw it out there...
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

Just brilliant!
Damn, now I want noodles.
Major noodles with major flavour! Gorgeous!
Love the way this builds up around 3 mins, and then descends back in to reflection.
Jangly goodness! Like gypsy e-miners.

Very nice! Optimistic , but no too much so if ya know what I mean!!
i mean light.. as in happy and slightly melancholy. I'm serious about those evolving layers of sound... awesome.
it dances between light and slightly melancholy thanks to the interesting progression. Moving textures ftw!
