Improvisations on Pat's Handmade Guitar

Found on Soundcloud

Ambient & Chilled

Silver Lake

Leaving NY / jazz quintet & string quartet

Inspired by the poem "Winter Stars" by the American poet Sara Teasdale (1884-1933).

Winter Stars

I went out at night alone;
  The young blood flowing beyond the sea
Seemed to have drenched my spirit’s wings— 
  I bore my sorrow heavily.

But when I lifted up my head
  From shadows shaken on the snow,
I saw Orion in the east
  Burn steadily as long ago.

From windows in my father’s house,
  Dreaming my dreams on winter nights,
I watched Orion as a girl
  Above another city’s lights.

Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too,
   The world’s heart breaks beneath its wars,
All things are changed, save in the east
  The faithful beauty of the stars.

The Faithful Beauty of the Stars

I finally bought a new classical guitar :)

Sunset In Autumn

My good friend, mandolinist bandmate, and SC collaborator Pat Howell started building a guitar from a mail-order kit some thirty years ago, got pretty far along on it, then had a local luthier do the finishing work.  It is the guitar pictured and is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and sound.   Being thoroughly smitten by all things mandolin, the guitar hasn't been played much, and he paid me the highest complement by asking me to record the guitar so he can hear what it sounds like as a listener.  I readily agreed mostly because it was a chance to play the guitar again:)  As I was improvising into the Zoom, this little nugget showed up and thought you all might like to hear it too:) I did some editing for musical flow and added some reverb, but nothing else was done to alter the tone of the guitar.  It is a special song for my friend.

For My Friend--Part 1

This is part 2 of some improvisational recordings I made with Pat Howell's beautiful handcrafted-from-a -kit dreadnought acoustic guitar.  Part 1 details the guitar's journey a little more and here I wanted Pat to hear his guitar in drop D tuning, and I thought you'd like to hear it too:)

For My Friend--Part 2

Hello Everyone.
Delighted to present my newest work.This one took a bit of time for me to upload because I was struggling with the mixing a bit.
After re-mixing and exporting many times I think finally I am quite happy with the overall mix.
So, please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

About the track:
'Nightfall' by Andy Leech and 4lienetic was the first-ever chillstep/future garage track I heard and I instantly fell in love with the track.
That time I decided to name at least one of my tracks as 'Nightfall' but until now, none of my tracks fitted with the title. This track will give you a feeling of walking beside a river or a lake during the nighttime. This track has deep bass and smooth pads which will give you a night vibe.

Nightfall

Digits dancing along the fretboard to this beautiful Celtic Harp. Close your eyes, kick back, and ponder all of the quiet, breathtaking beauty and splendor this World can serve up sometimes. Focus on those things whenever you can, Friends! Relax and Float Away with me. Always Thankful for blessed 'Quieter Moments'.  Pure Joy also exists amidst the Chaos and Confusion. :D)))

After the Hole - Lyrics

All I seen is what I thought I would have seen
At the end all I found were other ends

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

On the screech of the city brakes I heard your name
Feel as though we're living in a recurrent dream

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

And the life is after the hole

And the life is after the hole

Strange Part of the Country

After the Hole

HMWL Premiere: Different Ray, Arteforma - Between The Line [3rd Avenue]

Hello everyone.
Delighted to present a new track to everyone. Sadly this might be my last track of the year because I have a Final Term Exam coming up on the 20th.

About the track :
Homeward means towards home. December is a magical month when we all try to be at home and enjoy ourselves with our loved ones. With this track, I wish everyone finds their way home safely.
This was my first ever attempt to create an ambient track. This one is a bit cinematic but I tried to keep it as simple as possible for a smooth and calm experience. So, please let me know your thoughts on the track and whether I should make more ambient tracks in the future or not.

What a joy it was to play Pat's hand-built guitar in this series of improvisational musings.  This one is also in Drop D tuning drawing  inspiration from Fahey to Beethoven, but no inspiration more prominent than Pat himself in our friendship and collaborations.  As in the previous parts, only reverb was added to enhance the ambience of the guitar sound, no tonal filters were used.

This is my first christmas track. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of my friends out there!

Broken Bridges

Too clever to seize fame
You’ll never believe shame
Forever you freeze frame
Broken bridges

Don’t try to stake claim
Wise guy, you take aim
Goodbye forsake blame
Broken bridges

You may point to fractured beams
Disjointed manufactured schemes
Those that belong declare their plans
Can anyone repair the spans of broken bridges?

Just don’t police friends
They’ll break the peace when
You won’t release them 
Broken bridges

When I was little
I ran through the grass
Got chased by a lion
But I bit it on the arse
I must have been in my pram with Nunky
Safe with Nunky

L'il Boy!
Are yer safe with Mother, safe with Nunky?
You better run, you better hide!
Li'l Boy!

Run from The City

Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother

21st Century Chill Jab

I came across this little improv I did a while back on Pat Howell's beautifully crafted home-built guitar, and had been keeping it in my back pocket for St. Patty's Day.  In this track I riff on some tunes I've played over the last several years but take on a new richness played on his guitar in drop D tuning.  If you're keeping score, the first is "Emerald Isle", the second is "A Splash of Joy" and last is "Celtic D'lite".  Enjoy with your favorite Irish brew:)

Soften My Heart - Beth Williams Gospel Songs

I had posted this song a few months back last year with just acoustic guitar, vocals and harmonica. Russell Sinfield heard it in his own special way and wanted to add something to it. He took up the tempo a little and then got Gary Reeves to add percussion. He then did the bass himself and finally had Gavin Stephens to do the trumpet. I was quite blown away with the end result! I hope you don’t mind giving this song a listen again. These are three supremely talented artists and I can’t thank them enough!

When I’m Young Again – Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Met a man with a broken wheel
Had the ride of his life
He turned to me to make a deal
To do it one last time
Off we went into the night
Through the dark I drove
The sky with stars and satellites
The road with tar and stones
Then he spoke after a while
Said things have really changed
Guess I’ll be where I should have been
When I’m young again

I was wondering about my friend 
Just what had turned his tide
Did he think that this journey’s end
Would be one happy ride
Do you know I was happy once
In the silence he spoke
His tone of voice had me in a trance
Like a reed that broke
It’s always once upon a time
And on and on, on this road
Guess I’ll write my own fairy tale
When I’m young again

Twice I stopped for fuel and beer
Back on the road we went
It was all becoming clear
This was no accident
At last I spoke and asked him straight
Where he wanted to go
He smiled the smile we smile at fate
And said where I was before
Each passing year I think of him
And of that journey so strange
Guess I still want to be with you
When I’m young again






When I'm Young Again - with Russ, Gavin and Gary

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife 

As Persephone 
Gathered flowers 
Hades intervened 
To drag her downward 

When he opened up the earth 
Persephone was swallowed 
And such remained her curse 
As witnessed by Apollo 

Oh oh oh oh 
Persephone 
Oh oh oh oh 
What's left for 
What's left for me? 

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife 

Demeter roamed the land 
To find her daughter 
She did not understand 
Where Hades brought her 

And she searched relentlessly 
Till a fountain filled her spirit 
And she cried: "Persephone" 
Who alas, could never hear it 

Oh oh oh oh 
Persephone 
Oh oh oh oh 
What's left for 
What's left for me? 

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife 

Come Spring she'd be set free 
Winter remanded 
He fed Persephone 
A pomegranate 

Goddess of the underworld 
Mistress of the afterlife

everything fades to grey
since you're gone
my silent film tries to go on
since you're gone
i got no clue where i belong
since you're gone
i am a figurine, a wounded toon
i slowly fade to grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
the doctor says "those pills are fine
don't waste your time, get a move on!"
i gotta get away
before i'm lost in grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i hide myself in grey
i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon
i slowly fade to grey
i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
i gotta get away

Fade To Grey

HE NEVER GOT A FAIR SHAKE			
NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED			
NEVER GOT A BRAKE			
ALWAYS WANDERIN' WHY			
			
NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOIN' ON			
HE NEVER CAME OUT ON TOP			
WHAT DID HE DO WRONG			
HAD WORKED NONSTOP			
			
(CHORUS)			
HIS GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID			
JUST KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ALLWAYS DO WHAT'S RIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ANGEL'S ARE ALMOST IN SIGHT			
			
HE DIDN'T LET IT GET HIM DOWN 			
DID THE BEST THAT HE COULD DO			
RUNNIN' FOR THAT TOUCHDOWN			
CAUSE HIS TIME WAS OVERDUE			
			
HIS LIFE WAS FILLED WITH STRIFE			
NEVER STOPPED DREANIN'			
WANTED THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE			
NEVER STOPPED TRYIN'			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS)			
			
NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT			
ANGEL'S ARE ALMOST IN SIGHT

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
