New song. Wrote the guitar part first, lyrics came later. This is one of the first songs I've done more than one track on in quite a while, and also one that isn't dark (unusual for me). Anyway, enjoy!

A view on ghosts. Used my tenor recorder, guitars, and bass. Bizarre how once song writing starts, it seems to write itself. Hope you like.

Just a mellow track I created. I spent a lot of time on the production of this piece. Instruments include acoustic guitar, strings, chorus, and ambient synth.
