About Me

The music here is from recordings I did on computer at home in Dec 2006 and Jan 2007. My aim was to document live solo guitar shows that I've performed a few times to audiences. It's clean electric guitar, minimal effects, no overdubs. I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible, so I can recreate them live without a lot of gear and a lot of hassle.
This is only one aspect of what I do musically, and I'm currently recording for a CD release - an instrumental album featuring various kinds of guitar, keyboard instruments, synthesiser, samples, and whatever else comes to hand.
I'll post some new music here before too long. Fairly different (and better-recorded) than the pieces that are here now. And with less of the clean guitar minimalism that's on these pieces.
I'm kind of vaguely looking around for people to play with live as a sideman/collaborator: regular, slide, & steel. And I'm always keen to guest on recordings... so feel free to offer.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
