Experimental

The other stream

These are a bit more experimental and include electronics, demos, cover versions, and attempts to play the charango. In the future there should be some live recordings here too. I have some, but they need some completion.

Use the links to hear a single song or the whole lot in succession in your preferred player. You can also subscribe to a podcast of all new music or leave feedback. If you have any trouble with that let us know and we'll try and sort it out.

More granular synthesis on this but I want to assure you this is a guitar improvisation - the only sound that didn't start in my guitar is the 45 rpm run-out groove that plays all the way through.

Yes it's Blackbird again, but this time I with granular synthesis. All recorded live. Maybe Low meets Fennesz?

I wrote a randomised delay patch in pure data, and this is a song I wrote by running my guitar and vocal through it. Interesting but might need more work?

This is a second version of Blackbird I played using a Max/MSP granular synthesis patch to modify my guitar sound. It's quite subtle to start with but then gets going in the middle section. No overdubs.

This is another song with a loops-based backing. Everybody writes songs about cars they used to own so I'm joining the club. It was a Fiat Barchetta.
Dreadnought (v2)Dreadnought (v2)Feedback4:02
This one's a proper experiment ~ but quite groovy as well. You should feedback on this one because it might be a new direction.

This is Nina Nastasia's song, which I played on a Charango. I need more practice at that instrument, but I'm pleased with the results anyway.
At The Station (v2)At The Station (v2)Feedback2:23
A guitar and vocal version of this song. There's another version that used to be on My Space with a steel string guitar. This is a Flamenco one.

This is a really old cover of a Dylan record. I quite like it but it's here because it helps with the Web stats.
