This is an off-kilter cover of the song Odyssée by Fabio Viscogliosi, from his recent album Camera, available on Bandcamp: https://objetdisque.bandcamp.com/track/odyss-e
I "translated" the lyrics homophonically into English after mis-hearing the French opening line as "Lost and alone…" The rest of the lyrics are either homophonic or selectively translated.
This is a one-mic, iphone recording made in a cottage on the Jersey Shore during a recent mini-retreat. Spruced up a bit later in Ableton.

City Song (O, The Sea)-- a cover of Odyssée by Fabio Viscogliosi

A dreamy, somewhat eerie song that developed out of a lulling guitar pattern and ambiguous lyrics.

Education

An improvisation on my Gretsch duo jet, centered around an E Phrygian mode, recorded in my studio 2/20/25

Improvisation for Electric Guitar, #01

An improvised recording made with my Gretsch duo jet on 2/20/25. This one was in particular was inspired by Derek Bailey, as was this trilogy as a whole.

Improvisation for Electric Guitar, #02 (for Derek Bailey)

An improvised recording made with my Gretsch duo jet on 2/20/25. This one began spontaneously, almost accidentally, as I was recording some mic placement tests (SM57 in front of my Vox AC15). Once the riff started developing I decided to run with it and see how I could develop it. I was a little amazed I managed to bring back close to the same riff at the end.

Improvisation for Electric Guitar, #03

Ambient composition assembled on a Teenage Engineering PO-33 Pocket Operator using samples and stock sounds as well as samples from Jad Fair's A.O.K 10 and a BBC documentary about Brian Eno.

Glitch Ambient Track for Max Headroom

This is a song about someone falling in love with a hologram. Or maybe about a hologram who falls in love with someone. I dedicate it to Erasmo Carlos, Louise Brooks, and The Flamingos.

Jeu de Lumières

short composition built out of a single recording of ice rattling in a glass. An assignment for the Disquiet Junto Project, which you can find by searching Soundcloud.

Final Frontier - disquiet0472

This is the second phase of a three-part collaborative project for the Disquiet Junto. From a list of almost 70 short tracks, I chose this piano piece by @ChrisLedwidge and came up with an accompanying guitar part. Next week a third person might choose to add a part to complete the trio. Even if that doesn't happen, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Du(o J)et No. 34 in A minor [Disquiet0473]

Broody ambient/soundtrack piece made up of a variety of found sounds: a local building's ventilator, a clip from a documentary about Brian Eno, and snippets from some old, unused guitar recordings of mine.

NOTE:This is a revised version of a song I uploaded earlier. Shout-out to  @michael-ash-sharbaugh for pointing out a technical glitch which, it turned out, was easy enough to fix.

Time No Radar On Emit

A collaboration with @joyneski and @melondruie for Disquiet Junto #0474. Melondruie created a drone patch which Joyenski mutated electronically into a percussion track, then I added the guitar and a bit of processing.

This is a revised version that replaces the earlier one, which I deleted. There was some scraping sound on the guitar caused by a plug-in I foolishly added at the last minute. I changed the intro slightly
