clever work with what u had to work with

..Oo0ooo! Very nice work here indeed. 'hope to be back soon to check out more! Thanks for checking out mi sounds!

i love this, the distant ambience, the gritty slight distortion, the dynamic in volume, i think you should keep this the way it is to be honest.

very nice.

I love those live moments, cool song. Great recording too

Nice vibe and groove to this one! It brings to imagery of me sitting out on a porch in the wilderness, the sun is setting, and the animals are starting to stir in the surrounding undergrowth... or something like that. This just has a 'feeling' about it that is nice and comfortable!

Thanks for your recent comment on my latest song! I just moved house and am moving back to my roots of drums/guitar/bass so be on the look-out for new material. This a cool groove to it. I miss playing with a live band and coming up with new songs out of thin air. This reminds me of that experience. Nice and raw and has that awesome first take magic quality to it!

thou art forgiven.

awesome I also use Garageband but this is amazing!

All Guitar!?!?! This is Orchestral! Vert Well Done!!!!!!!!!

Wow...You and the drummer were in the zone bro!

Superb!

@ sister savage: This tune, as with the rest of the material listed under my "trio tracks" playlist, are all original songs by Kelly Armstrong, a singer/songwriter who my drummer and I played with late last year. A short-lived project. I love trios, but they can be funny that way. I like the songs and what we did with them. Time permitting and madness notwithstanding, we will revisit this material one day.

Great song - is it original? Cool hook!

Oh yeah! w;-)

Nice! Great guitar tone on this one!

Yes! In the groove. I love it when that happens... it remains a mystery to me how that works, but I think part of it is really listening to each other.

..nice, man- yeah!!!!!!! (Thanks as always for listening.)

Some great textures you've created here!

Pretty cool! Stirring stuff. Looking forward to hearing this develop...though it sounds kind of finished to me. Can hear some wonderful classical threads in here.

Oh wow this is just fantastic! I love it - the video, too.

Another coffeehouse I wish I'd been at. I agree with Gary Essex about the size of this song. Wonderful - and I think the recording is beautiful. I feel like it gives me the room I need to listen.

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!

Oh wow, great voice, from first note on first listen! And I love the guitar playing ... ... but all that is surface. Yes? No? I dunno. This performance is guitaristic, to be sure, but it doesn't sound like the song is stuck in the guitar - I'm sure you know exactly what I mean. The idea is beyond the guitar. Anyway what I'm struggling to say is that the song is really lovely.

... "Which one?" "Look at your list!" Oh, man ... haven't laughed that hard in days. A metonym for a magic moment! This is so great! Love that you uploaded this. I long to learn what I need to learn so I can one day play some of this music, myself. Sometimes, one forgets what one wants to do, and the rush of an inspiring reminder is the most wonderful feeling. Thing is ... there's a lot to learn to play this music, as well as this music is played, here in this beautiful track, and I think a lot of it is almost beyond knowing. Unless one can somehow learn to be open to the ineffable ... maybe. Don't know yet!

Wow. Whatever you do with this song, however you might record it or produce it or refine it, I hope you always have this recording of your song - it's wonderful. I would have enjoyed being at that open house.

I don't know what it is ... I tend to cringe at birdsong and natural sounds, but ... I really like this, why do I like this ... I think it's somewhere in the way you are working with the loops, the way the spaces between things are linked - "linked", I think that's the word - if it was a drawing it would be about the negative space - and I could say, great use of negative space - also, the way the timbres of the instruments (digital? or otherwise?) are so carefully balanced. The sounds and the shape of the track, all together ... very exciting music.

Incredible - had to really think about this, but it didn't take long to identify the feeling. Inside my pleasure at the interesting sounds, I found something else: a feeling of being left out. Strange, no? Left out of what? Nonsense! But, maybe ... of the process of its realization? Another side to that feeling: I want to take it apart, as though it were an interesting machine, and hold each of its components in my fingertips and turn them in the light, and wonder about their material, their origins, and their conception. Hey, you asked.

This is so beautiful - how wonderful, as I write this, at about four minutes, that it's not yet even half done. But I like long tracks. ;) Some very interesting harmonic movement in this piece, and the timing of each shift and change is ... just ... exquisite ...

Today, this is the tune that turns rotten days right around. This one, right here. Thank you!

Great track - but then, these are the best changes. Aren't they? I love these changes. Beautiful, beautiful sound - I mean, to be precise, the playing of the sound, as this is a sound that needs playing. - and as I think about all of it and the player is jumping through the next tracks, wow, I really like your songs and playing, and all the sounds, instrument, voice, are rich and thick and beautiful. Dropped in to say thanks for the kind words and am leaving with more than I came to offer! But that's how it seems to work around here.

I think this track is really beautiful.

@Mannequin Races: All I did here was set up my MacBook in the corner - not quite the corner, sort of one-third along the long wall - amp a bit closer than the kit, hence the imbalance, but it's all right for this track - and use the internal mic. Just kept one eye on the levels as we improvised. Sometimes I set up one cheap, broad-pattern condenser, but even that's just a slight improvement.

Wow, those sounds are just beautiful. Really interesting and dense, with a fascinating structure and great movement. Maybe a bit short ;-)

Ah, that's great!

beautiful

Gosh I just love the sounds of those instruments. Very nice harmony, a sweet melody, and a nice balance of sounds.

Beautiful. I love the sense of texture, and what sit in my ear as illusions of different physical spaces, of varying shape and size - wonderful.

I like the way your group is using space here a lot. I love this tempo, and the sounds, and the way it seems to ebb and flow.
