This short thing is the earliest guitar composition of mine that I can still remember how to play.

Original composition date unknown, although I’m pretty sure I played this at the old house we used to live in - so composition must have taken place before March 1992.

Came across a short ditty from more than ten years ago, and decided to tack on an ending.

It’s still a bit on the short side, but at least it has some sort of ending now. :)

Simple interlude - a combination of two interludes, really - made entirely with the Thor synth set within Reason 5.

Backwards piano loop disappearing in a hazy sea of reverb.

Inspired by long hours sitting in airport lounges, and with nods to Brian Enos “Music for Airports”.

Ambient piece based around a slow growing chord that builds to a big climax.

Imagining the spectacle of watching a sunrise or an eclipse in space.

An ebow strained thru octave pedal and pitch shifter.

Yeah, that Doors song.

It’s a 100 degrees F in the shade here.
Covering a John Fahey tune, which was inspired by Charley Patton.

So, what’s “Fly”? This.

Bass Cajon; tambourine; congas; cymbals.

4/4 180bpm.

Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.

Weekend jam time

Kick the tires and light the fires.

Just having fun, hanging out, creating some music.

Double drop D Capo @ 3rd- Lead Capo @ 9th. :)

Spontaneous little ditty about carelessness and always staying on the move. Quite different from the murky, depressing trite I always seem to end up composing.

This started out as a loose solo guitar jam around a simple chord sequence, and to keep that spontaneity I decided to keep all the…read more

Entry for Zan’s Current Events Compo 2010 on Trax in Space. I was inspired by the news of the solar transit of Space Shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station on may 16. It was covered in global media, and what really sparked my interest was Thierry Legault’s incredible photograph…read more
