Happy New Year everybody!

This is a live recording in preparation for my recent gig at Cafe Oto, unedited.

Just starting the journey somewhere, working things out as I go along.

Enjoy!

Ermine St (Live improv, Dec 2022)

This is the closing track off of "Hyphae", a collection of tracks I made with fellow ambient guitarist Wodwo (Ray Robinson -- https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040). 

It all started with discovering each other’s work on Soundcloud and grew into a lively exchange of ideas and sketches. With both being on a quest to take the less obvious sonic route, always searching for the uncommon guitar sound, and their fondness for spacious and slightly unsettling ambient compositions, the sessions were kickstarted with the appropriately titled "Germ", which gestated into what became the first completed track of this long-distance collaboration between Munich and Derby. 

The title for the second track, "Hyphae" came to mind after reading Merlin Sheldrake’s fascinating “Entangled Life”. It seems apt to draw parallels between the massive mycorrhizal fungi hyphae networks (the "Wood Wide Web") that connect different species of plants and transport substances and information between them, and the to and fro of abstract layers of sonic matter that passed between the two musicians. 

The collection closes with "Simulacrum", probing the terrain where a bright major key tonality coalesces with a bit-crushed low-end undercurrent. And despite what your ears might lead you to believe, no keyboards or synths were used in any of this music! 

Hyphae is also available from Wodwo's Bandcamp page: rayrobinson.bandcamp.com/album/hyphae

Finding instant inspiration in the provided haiku, I put this together in response to Naviar's 508th assignment "naviarhaiku508 – Deep, dark Summer night":

Deep, dark Summer night
A sudden shaft of moonlight
Blesses the temple

(John Hinks)

Not sure how well these sounds connect to the poetry, but in any event, this is what came to mind. May I direct your attention to the somewhat shrill, inside/outside yet meditative-ish melody making an entry around half of the way in. As usual, I keep adding backdoor enhancements, so check back periodically for (likely very minute) changes. (Densified on 15 Oct 2023)

Thanks for the inspiration, Marco and John.

A Beginning

I still remember the day this song was born. on a Sunday morning in August in 2015.
recently awake and with strange feelings, difficult to define ...
so I went to the piano and found this music.
I tried it again for the whole morning and most of the song was already defined at the end of the day. it was one of the few times in my life that a musical idea took shape and substance so quickly, without too many second thoughts. I have only revised a few details over time, like some notes or rests, but otherwise it is perfect in my opinion. there is no need for anything else. I received appreciation from several friends or people I know when I proposed listening to it .. and so I decided to make it known to a wider audience. I think it is one of the songs that has given me greater awareness as an artist. a kind of beginning ... for a road that I am still walking.

Version update on 25/01/2023.

After so many years and after so many daily rehearsals I managed to reinterpret this piece again in an attempt to add some small details that enrich the atmosphere. No effect or compression etc.  added, only a very light editing to correct the dynamics and attack of some chords or notes.
