This is a kind of patchwork song I wrote while living in Martigny. The patches are made of musical fragments that I could remember over time (no need to record them). In a way, the writting of this one was like a small travel. I started with the intro and I progressively added passages. After several days or weeks, if I was able to remember the last added passage, that one was added to the tune. At some point, when I came back to Barcelona, I decided the travel was over, so I found a way to return back to the main motif. 
Initially it was meant to be a jazz solo guitar piece, but since it gained some body, I decided to add a simple bass line.
Some of the passages contain Metheny influences/references that I cannot deny, although, of course, differences as guitar players are huge.  Considering that I'm not used to play this kind of solo stuff, I'm pretty happy with the result.

Back Home

A simple and groovy A blues, somehow in the style of Scott Henderson's Dolemite. What else do you need? The main groove for this one was written during my last days in Martigny. I finally decided to make it instrumental, record it and add a drum loop.

Fondue au Blues

The melody for this song came all of a sudden, right after my return to BCN. A simple melody over E flat major, with some "Africanish tones" on it. The name of the tune is related to this Africa-like flavor on the melody. Didier was the center of a weird discussion, and probably the most significative African thing I had in my mind when I wrote the tune (this was right before Mandela died).
The tune was written on the bass, and as said before, it is mainly on E flat major: first part is an Eb vamp, then the second is Eb-Bb-Ab-G-C-Dbsus, and there is bridge in B lydian, which is more Police-like than African-like.

Didier

No real writting in this one. This is the kind of tune that I might come up with before going to sleep. It is about plugging the guitar into the delay pedal and jamming for a while. And then things happen. I tried to make emphasis on dynamics in the only part that repeats, based on a F#5 F#m D/A progression, followed by C/G Bb/F. As simple as that.

Crystal Clear Thoughts About Mind Haziness

A tribute to the Compulsive Duck Feeders duet we created in Martigny/Lausanne. We needed a name for the band in order to book a rehearsal room, and CDF was right there, perfect for the occasion. 
CDF was a cover duet, only guitars and vocals (too many fucking guitars!). At some point I thought I could write something to add to our repertoire, our very own song.  Unfortunately, I did not have time to share this one. 
So here it is. Some sort of funk rock with an A section based on a simple C# minor vamp. Then I wanted to add some color by adding some chord changes with a set of not so typical intervals between them (descending flat fifth, ascending major third and descending flat second). There is a 3rd part with some nice color in it by moving initially from an easy C#m F# to G7 DMaj9.
And, yeah, there are some vocals. Sorry for that.
