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.

	Drone 1	Feedback	6:12
	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.
	Blackbird (v3)	Feedback	9:35
	Yes it's Blackbird again, but this time I with granular synthesis. All recorded live. Maybe Low meets Fennesz?
	Squadron	Feedback	5:32
	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?
	Blackbird (Granulated)	Feedback	6:51
	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.
	Car Song #1	Feedback	5:42
	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)	Feedback	4:02
	This one's a proper experiment ~ but quite groovy as well. You should feedback on this one because it might be a new direction.
	Bird of Cuzco	Feedback	3:03
	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)	Feedback	2:23
	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.
	I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine	Feedback	3:51
	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.
