I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.

Here she comes in the April sun
In her dungarees and she's up for fun
Smiling like she's a crazy girl
And she makes a face like she owns the place
And she does
We indulge ourselves in creating
A neck of beauty and circumstance

This is my english version of Heysátan by Sigur Rós. It's not a direct translation but it's in principle the same song.
I know the guitar is a bit out of tune. The capo messed it up. Sorry for that.
Ok you got me. Sigur Ros is one of my all time favorite bands. I have seen them live 4 times! I am really impressed by the your voice(s) here. Nicely done !!! Ok we should definitely do something together some time.

All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
It aint like no ones done this before

First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.

One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
