We just finished another of Alberto's compositions.
Working with Alberto has made me listen a lot to Lucio Battisti and Lucio Dalla recently. This is exactly the vintage sound of Italo rock that I love.
I hope you like it - I do…
This is the latest remix of this old tune. I think I would call it progressive rock.

Oops, I pasted the wrong description here when I did the latest update. Of course this song is instrumental, as you may have noticed. ;)
The guitar tracks were done by Alina Yudaeva from Russia. The song is old and still not quite done as all…

An Italian pop ballad. Mimmo sent me the lyric years ago, and I had almost forgotten the music I wrote for it. :)
Still needs a real sax.

My love for America is . . . complicated. And yours?
The song is part of the soundtrack from my book, "PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings," which can be found here:

Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…
Another formerly poorly recorded song... Really a piece of poetry that was put to music (a hit-or-miss approach for me that seemed to work well on this one).

I've listened to three of your songs so far, and I loved them all. I guess I will have to download and listen to the others when I find the time. I'm sure they are all great songs too.
A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

Bookending the "Late December" CD, this song about my little girls on Christmas morning holds a special place in my heart. Thanks to Sam and Mick for making it perfect.

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ).
Keep them coming!
This was going to be a re-make of Dancing on my own but reg was too busy to participate so i have used Norms percussion track and got Chris Vaisvil to bass it up and i have added a vocal creating something new. Reg has had a lot of trouble with…
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
This is a piece written for 37signals, made to accompany a [fun video they did on Letterpress printing](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2795-a-letterpressed-thank-you)

Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

Gorgeous composition Steffen. It turned out beautifully in the end!

I love this song. This is an addictive little tune you've got here..... Piepod LG

Simply a great song, Geir.
Nice listen, thanks for posting this!
Great sound! Very new age ...
I'm very impressed by your guitar skills. Great work. I'll download some of your songs and put them on my next car CD. Thanks for sharing! :)
Wonderful playing. Downloaded! :)
I won't repeat what I said at Songcrafters. You know I love this song. And all the others ... :)
I've listened to three of your songs so far, and I loved them all. I guess I will have to download and listen to the others when I find the time. I'm sure they are all great songs too.
These two voices go together like hand and glove. Great job!
I'm very impressed at the high quality of all the songs at this site. Beautiful vocals and a pretty song!
Classy song, like most of yours. What I like most about your music is that it isn't mainstream. You have a very characteristic style of your own.
One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ). Keep them coming!
I can only repeat myself - great vocals!
Bellissima! I love Italian, and the music and the angelic vocals support that language perfectly.
Nice and ... different. ;)
Very nice listen. The percussion is great.
Something to listen to with headphones and with eyes closed. Very, very nice music and a wonderful voice.
Wow, great music! It has a certain Russian melancholy to it which I like very much.
Hi, Andy! I just joined the site. Good to find all your great music here. :) Regards, Steffen
