a personal homage to one of my favorite guitarists, the great Terje Rypdal, and more than a few nods else wheres as well--to the imagination united, and one of my very best pieces IMO:

Dan Stearns - microtonal electric and acoustic guitars, bass, keys, analog, percussion, mandolin,  electronics, sounds, toys, mixing, composition
Bryan Stearns - drums
Jacob Barton - bassoon and uderbot
Jim Capone - clarinets
3-Hand Man - turntables and loops, etc.

Sigmata - One Fine Summer Day

Kickstart

Instrumental popish jazz guitar number that begins with a recorded water dripping motif and ends with the same motif.  That recorded bit from my backyard (post rain storm) was used to generate the song tempo (around 89 bpm) and keep a crazed sort of polyrhythmic hi-hat beat throughout the tune. Featuring Ian Hendricks on bass. Soli Deo Gloria!
