medicine to reset the soul :-) ... truthful vibes of centeredness

@chris-ruel: Thank you Chris!! You may understand this as a composer yourself: on this one I kind of got out of my own way, rhythmically speaking, and there is a pure natural flow to it that I may never see again....?

just in after a long dog walk, on a blue sky frosty day, fires smouldering in the grate, all's well....what perfect track to welcome me home :-)

medicine doesn't get better than this! .....may your God bless you Jerry :-) 

I'm working here with flowing rhythms, maybe the kind of sounds that come from a babbling brook. This is probably closer to nature than most of the recent work I've done.

Louie - Very Free and Easy

I'm a one-man music laboratory -- mostly centered around the electric and acoustic mountain dulcimer, which I make myself in my workshop in South East Ohio, and more often these days in Wooster, which is Northeast Ohio.

I'm currently working with the aspects of the mountain dulcimer which tend to calm and soothe -- though I go through strong reactionary cycles now and again, when I have had enough of the meditative stuff. Sometimes this takes the form of wild filter-synched electronica, and sometimes it is more bluesy.

My music contains many influences, with Celtic music being the primary one most of the time. I've always been an improviser, and I have had some formal jazz training (Ohio State WI-89 BA Music), though I'm not a jazz musician by any stretch. 

I love working with extremely simple, circular chord progressions: those progressions that seem to go on for hours and are hard to stop playing. There is a strong minimalist vibe to this.

I also love the DRONE which is one of the most appealing aspects of the mountain dulcimer. These days, I tend more toward arpeggiating the open drone strings of the dulcimer, rather than the more strident strummed drone typical of the more traditional styles of playing.
