I like how you almost go into "Mission Impossible" around 6:00. Great improv! It's good to hear some live trap-set work.

I am really digging this. I think the guitar comes in just a tad "hot" in spots. I'm not expert just a thought. It rocks! Great guitar and drum work.

Sweet playing! Lovely tone!

..yeah, man! :)

Wow this is really well done - extremely emotive.

the story behind this is amazing...thanks for sharing. Also have to mention how great you played...that kinda goes without saying. Can feel the passion in this one.

Brilliant work! w;-)

Full of soooo much soul. You can feel the heart bleeding. w;-)

absolutely stunning guitarwork! sooo much attitude and soul in you rythms and timing sooo good

This is 1:30 in the morning, only a few folks left in the dark, smokey little club. The guitar player's half way through his 3rd Jack and Coke - its sitting on top of his old tube amp with part of the cover torn off. Just need to hear the bar tender washing glasses.

Let the humbucker loose.

@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.

Those drums and guitar sound great! How many mics did you use on the kit? I can hear some bass going with this but that would change the feeling completely. Thanks for your recent comment on my music! I know my songs are a bit on the short side! I'm working on that. :)

Nice one mate very cool. And not to short, thanks for your comment. Cheers.

Powerful stuff...especially combining the music with your write-up. Mournful guitar, certainly.

The guitar does sound great. Nice jam.

Awesome Nice playing

Sweet!

cool

I love it

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.

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.
