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.

Just a mellow track I whipped up last night before bed. The field recording is from the Peruvian Amazon- I forget which habitat it was recorded in, but my guess is near bamboo... during the morning.

I was hesitant about uploading this one. It's really old and I hadn't listened to it in at least 10 years. I remember that at the time of recording it didn't come out the way I wanted but that I was ok (sort of) with the results. The vocals were…

A song about not wanting to feel for someone that has treated you badly and left you behind.
Despite having these feelings you still feel this person is above you. As they fly freely and you're left lost on the ground.

This little ragtime number began life as just a snippet, written as background music for a home movie years ago. For the hard core ragtime buffs, I know this is not quite syncopated enough to be true ragtime, but hopefully its fun and bouncy…

It's called the dirty mix because I have started working on it again after the crash, which means I'm layering on top of some mp3 bounces I had lying around :-)
