Cyclical finger picking pattern, swirling extended techniques, string buzz and bowed guitar. Middle-eastern psych sounds and a forceful solo. 

Strange Attractor

Avant-Folk finger picking, low frequency sounds, extended techniques including string buzz and bowed guitar to  give a fresh take on the solo guitar record. My first track from my album which is called: Opalescent. The album was recorded inside a local church in Norwich. 

Chimera Wings

This is my fresh take on blues slide guitar and avant-folk finger picking. In the background are layered sounds of low frequency hums, buzzes and some bowed guitar to provide further texture.  

Calcified Broken Bottleneck Blues

Middle Eastern Style guitar figures, low frequency buzz, drones, improv and extended techniques used. This is the forth track on my new album. 

Deserted Factory of Darkness and Moonlight

This is my second blues slide track that is slower and more reflective that is combined with some soundscaping elements. 

Effluvium of 1908

Swirling, cyclical and atmospheric middle-eastern guitar patterns and figures.  

Carapace

Delicate repetitive guitar figures and patterns that swell with tension. Background tremelo guitar that cuts through the fog. 

Magpie Speckled Reflections

Avant-folk finger picking and psych style middle eastern sounds. Added to this is the use of a harmonium to give added nuance. 

Unsullied by Man or Beast

For the penultimate track then this is a droney, eastern soundscaping piece that builds up. It was recorded using an organ setting on a keyboard and the other sounds are extended techniques from a guitar. 

Pendulous

The final track was recorded on an electric guitar with molten licks and plenty of eastern style psych overtones. I used tremelo, phaser, delay, fuzz and overdrive. Some harmonics, improv and extended techniques were used to add texture that swells to make a great climax to the album.

Please download my new album Opalescent from Bandcamp at £5: https://jdmason.bandcamp.com/

These are my latest tracks that are from my new album: Opalescent that I recorded inside a beautiful local church in Norwich (St Margaret's). Plenty of natural reverb and lovely acoustics. The album features acoustic and electric guitars, harmonium and keyboard. 

My sounds include my passion to record my take on a solo guitar record that includes Avant-Folk style finger picking, blues slide, low frequency hums and buzzes, bowed guitar, improv and other extended techniques.
