I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

The single coil sound of my new used PRS guitar just got me in the funk. Had this partial riff on a Sony walkman from 10 years ago, decided to fill it out a little.

A dark ambient piece built up from a drone that I created using Mangle.
Best enjoyed loudly in a darkened room.

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date

A collab with LJ. You may have heard it with a Burnley accent. This is a softer version.

On Wikipedia I read this about the great jazz pianist Bud Powell: "...his solos could be heard to emulate the horn players' attack — with the use of frequent arpeggios punctuated by chromaticism," so the first thing you hear is a lick that uses…

If you listen closely at 47 seconds you will hear a "swoosh" sound - it was my wife moving something around upstairs. It adds something extra that works somehow. A breath, a sigh, a surprise...

This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…

If sixteen bonobos sat at sixteen grand pianos and could only play one note each and each knew how to divide the measure into a differing discrete division of time, might it sound a little like this piece?
Probably not, but it was fun to ponder.
