~In the middle of everyday life [and all this fuss] you stop for a moment and see yourself as if from the outside~

Se olet sinä, taloni.

1pm on Sunday. I'm not back in work until Tuesday. We've just had a delicious roast dinner that I cooked, and the glass of wine we had with it is helping it go down. As a crisp February sun twinkles through the window I realise that for the first…

Demo of an old song that's going on my new record.

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace. Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

I posted this song a few days ago and Bethan liked the music so much she wrote her own words. Here it is, a co-write across the Atlantic. SITTING BY THE WINDOW, NOTHING TO DO WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH THE SUN SHINES…

Inspired by the "Metal for Life" Column in the Guitar World Feb 2012 issue, I stuck to the original etude probably only 80% or so and changed the arrangement, plus added an extra solo section in the middle.
