Note: 'Psychedelic Dance Well Shadow' - is spelled downwards on the left hand side. Strangely, this form of writing does limit your scope, however it makes a decision for you on every line so in a way it can help your flow as you are forced into a foundation for every sentence and not left with thinking of everything each time for each line. You have direction. This can remove writing blockages sometimes. Having technical reasons that inspire can sometimes be as important as your intuition when deciding on an idea. The technicality you bring in can always activate your intuition so I'd recommend considering it as a kick starter if ideas aren't coming your way. Add to that, the technique  encourages poetic licence so gets the imagination running in different directions so it's excellent brain food

Lyrics
Psilocybin trance through neurons
Sync the web quantum entanglement
Young again mind has more crayons
Chase these cha cha whacky brain spawns
Hula do that dance of colour
Evolve our path with fungi fuller
Dendrites tuned tame speed of light
Energy cheered feeling bliss thats right
Liberty capped by reasoned subconscious
Cathartic relief

Dream express strong emotion
Alkaloid mine trip the mind
New neurological defined
Control where once we were told just opposite
Ecstatic grain drain brain must fit

Well of wonder escape tonight
Elated dance psychedelic delight
Live a little to love a lot
Like a lot stoic mind plot

Seek the shadows for the lessons
Håkan, high son soothes depression
Addiction go
Dent anxious gloom
Oratory muse
Well wonder womb

A track with and by my brother Paul. I played drums on this. This was done as demo for a pick up company which I can't remember the name. A nod to Peter Green too.

海と波がテーマのギターインストです🎸

I mixed this right after we played in the studio, but I think my ears were shot. That's why I remixed it. (Sep. 14, JST)

ギターを演奏した直後にミックスしたんですけど、ギターアンプの音圧感に耳が慣れてしまっていたようで、ちょっと変なミックスしてたので、リミックスしました（9月14日）

Ride with me to Galveston
with the windows rolled down
Ride with me to Galveston
with the windows rolled down
Ride with me to Galveston

with the windows rolled down
ride with me to Galveston
with the windows rolled down
ride with me to Galveston
let's leave this town

A matter of time

Sunday morning improvisation with my three-year old daughter Hannah, the first we actually recorded.

Impro with 3yo Hannah

Welcome! If you stick around a bit, you'll find some sketchy sketches of a looping guitarist, interested in minimal music, jazz, fusion etc.
 
I wish I would have thought of saying the following about me, but it was Robert Fripp, and he seems to have had himself in mind: “Music so wishes to be heard that it sometimes calls on unlikely characters to give it voice.”

Oh, and you might wonder why I call my sketches "meta-music". Well, since I am always inspired by others,  I think of my improvisations as music *about other music*, thus meta-music.
