Consistently interesting mix of compositions and songs ranging from funk to minimal solo guitar to sparse ambience.
((((((1)))))) Awesome! Funky, 60’s Hammond organ with dub beats. Wish this lasted longer though.
((((2)))) Random, piano and guitar chords. Short piece.
(((((3))))) Superb use of note resonation that moves from one note to two then overlays the different instruments making each.
((((4)))) Very nice acoustic guitar playing, mixing medium paced chorus and fast played notes.
((((5)))) Ambient electronics & beats and tiny measures of closely holding guitar strings apart and together.
((((6))) More string plucking, played pretty randomly then put together with other layers of notes & resonating for awhile.
((((7)))) Big funky beat, laser gun turntable scratches replicated on guitar. Pretty wild stuff.
(((8))) Distorted, solo kinda jazzy guitar.
(((9))) Modern funk, with nice guitar parts, spoken & soulful vocals and kind of eerie electronic bits over it all.
(((((10))))) Tiny, piano and bike spokes played together. The bike spokes are in the background so listen close. Very nice!
((((11)))) Solo acoustic guitar played on the patio with the morning’s birds in the mix.
(((12))) Dub beats with jazz guitar and distant voice samples & subway station. Some woozy vocals, too.
(((13)))) Mellow, acoustic guitar ballad with vocals en español.
