Altitude Heights 2.0 - 2015 - 02 - 17, 9.31 PM

This track is a combination of recorded guitar tracks (done on a 1978 Yamaha SC1200) originally done into Reaper.  I've since redone the track using Garageband taking advantage of their loops and some of the virtual instruments to change and improve some of the original sounds.

Parallax

A short instrumental track that I created when I first bought my new iRig interface for the iPad.  Several layered guitar tracks with a organ solo and guitar solo.  A bit of a nod to my teen years listening to Deep Purple.

Saving Funky Face

I have no idea why I chose this name, it was just the first thing that came to mind really.  I really wanted to try writing in 6/8 time and this is what came out.  I guess it does combine a distorted electric guitar with a cello sound so maybe that's where the fire (fuego) and water (agua) idea comes in.  I'd love to rerecord this with real instruments though the iPad did an ok job with those sounds.
