@121248_rw: Thanks very much, thats kind of you to say so! I'm still working on my setup in order to achieve better vocals in the mix. I'm not all too keen on recording guitar and vocals separate so it's a bit of trail and error. Probably need to invest in some more equipment and get a second mic for the vocals (instead of trying to do it all on one). Anyway, thanks for listening and for the advice.

Like this a lot - The guitar work is excellent and really sounds lush. Can see from the other comments about the vocals in the mix. If you are able to record your vocals seperately then it would really broaden your options (I can especially hear harmony vocals really enhancing this one) Good luck with it all as the songs are clearly there.

gorgeous guitar.....look forward to hearing the new louder vocal version. Keep up the splendid work.

Wow! This one's beautiful. Puts me in mind of Sun Kil Moon, this one. Lovely. Gorgeous playing and again a splendid vocal. Love your work. : )

Great guitar and soothing vocals...Lovely.

TIME THE DESTROYER

i cried out to your turned eyes
the echo chamber became silent

a night of haze and train yard sounds
i return to my nest

train yard

Lyrics:

Carving out a space
In a place I'd rather be

In the warmth of sun
My love she waits for me

How deep will new roots go
Take hold or stand rejected 

To wither by the night
Old ways are never far behind
Old ways are never far behind

How far will your troubles take you
To weather that storm in your eye
The future is always uncertain
A kingdom will fall one will rise 

A whisper from the dark
Echo's these lonely feelings

But I'll watch a new day rise
And task my heart that's healing 

I'll show you who I am
Or someone I know I could be 

If I walk the staggered path
Or learn to tread lightly

How far will your troubles take you
To weather that storm in your eye
The future is always uncertain
A kingdom will fall one will rise

[Cổ Tranh] Bất Nhiễm (不染) - Hương Mật Tựa Khói Sương OST (香蜜沉沉烬如霜)

Đàn cầm có lẽ là cây đàn ra đời rất sớm ở Trung Hoa. Sơ khai, khi người dân nói “Cầm” có nghĩa là chỉ cây đàn “Cổ cầm” để phân biệt với Tranh, Tiêu, Tì Bà …. Về sau chữ Cầm mới trở thành danh từ chung dùng cho các loại nhạc cụ dây.
Thất huyền cầm có chiều dài khoảng 1,2 mét, với đầu đàn, cổ đàn, thắt lưng, và đuôi đàn giúp tạo hình tựa hình chim phượng hoàng cao quý. Bề mặt cong phía trên tượng trưng cho Trời, trong khi mặt dưới phẳng phía dưới tượng trưng cho Đất.
Người Trung Quốc coi cây đàn Cổ Cầm như một báu vật văn hóa. Đàn được làm công phu và được bán với giá rất cao. Có khi người ta còn khảm vàng hoặc ngọc để đánh dấu các huy. Cho đến nay, người chơi đàn vẫn giữ được những lễ tiết của văn hóa cổ xưa như việc đốt mỗi lư trầm đặt trước giá đàn mỗi khi tấu một bản nhạc.

Letters From Yorkshire by Maura Dooley

Now on Spotify - more tracks on Bandcamp. It's a pretty low key state of affairs.. I record songs live in front of amps in bedrooms. All songs are in different tunings and all lyrics are available too.
Song thumbnails by Bruno Cavellec where stated.

I also write poetry, you can read it here..
