We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
I was asked to come up with some gritty microtonal guitar. This is an out-take from that session.
17 Indulgences is a solo guitar piece in 17 edo featuring acoustic feedback, echo and a bluesy sort of point of view but does wander here and…
Japanese Ghost House Boat was my contribution to the ImprovFriday “For Japan” earthquake relief CD release with proceeds donated to the Red Cross. It is in 17 notes per octave. Since its been about a year I thought I could release it now as…
Inspired by a "flash of gratitude", to the Universe, God or whatever..sitting in the warm summer heat watching my sweetie tend her plants, puffy clouds filling the sky and surrendering to the momentary bliss.

My final comp project of the year!
This is the first movement of my violin sonata. ("Concision" is the second movement).
I incorporated some metal and dubstep elements. It really gets going after 1:30.
Another week of classes and onto…
Another full band cover of an acoustic Kurt song. Apologies to KC for the guesswork.

It has long been the role of the troubadour to challenge and lampoon Authority through music. This is one such piece, written following a speech by the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in which he spoke of African slaves…
Shout out to Tom Waits, one of my favs. Rumor has it, he has had a similar problem with his piano.
I didnt think I would make it signing this way to the end of the song, lol.
Throat lozenge anyone??
I like your froggy throat! Reminds me of an iron chef where the main course was lobster and one chef took to dunking his live, huge, 30 year old, lobsters into a cask of sake or something alcoholic. You need a similar cask for your Gibson. To answer your question - glass slide.

The inner truth will pull the mind closed tight
As we introduced ourselves to the end of the night

BIG sound.
this one grabs my attention. It could easily be on the bitter dregs album. Like the emotion in the guitar.
Excellent!

Lovely!
Vertiginous!!!!!
Inventive and stirring!
I don't know the original - find it hard to believe you ruined it though! Very much like your boyish (
Pretty sweet blend of riffage.
I love the title! The voices at the beginning are very realistic, as in, I thought someone was right next to me in the room... Weird!
Likes this,heavy,spacey,nice one!
Very atmospheric! Giddying sounds.

A beautifully crafted song.
Someone needs to take the Dr's prescription pad from him. I think Gobbels would appreciate this bold rewriting of history. Its sweep is asphyxiating
Yes!
