Lydian Example

When the Crow Flies

ART...when created to express views over cultural events has an impact. This is my anthem and cry out for the world to be brave. Terrorism only works if we are scared. Don't be scared, Be Brave, Be Strong and Be the Peace. 

Bataclan

The space between reacting and responding can be as wide as you wish. Take the time, take the breath, walk in this space. An electronic composition created with Godin Guitar, Reaktor, and Kontakt. 

Elysium

This is what happens when your drummer lives 3000 miles away, and you record on a computer. You then become the computer. Resistance was futile, so I went with the flow. At least you can run/fight/jog/fly/cycle/climb/kick and scream to it. 

Lander

Earthy Stand Up Bass combined with weightless guitar melody floating above it. Ethereal and contemplative.

Adrift

I love nothing more than a foggy, wintery day on the beach with a warm cup of coffee and the sun barely making its way through the cloud cover. This instrumental guitar track is my creation after just such a stroll along the beach.

Winter Waves

Character feels the guilt and regret of not trying hard enough to save the relationship with the person he loves

Another Day

Instrumental Guitar Track, starts out clean then distortion kicks in. Lydian mode with a dreamy quality. If you can make it through the entire song, you will come to realize the compositional quality, it tells a story...eventually.

Cassette Demo

Written by Chris WINN, this is a rocking song that I was pleased to play guitar on. Turn it up and drink beer to it...actually moonshine!

Mountain Man

This track is strictly Man vs. Machine. Written in a few hours, years ago. I was at the mercy of the machine, as I could only produce what I could make the computer do at this time. Once again, self-produced when I was first starting out using a DAW. Hey at least there is a guitar solo!

I Swear

First recording of the Ciari Ascender Prototype. The premium travel guitar that folds right in half! Sounds pretty damn good! Seymour Duncans, thru just an iRig Pro and IK Multimedia Guitar Rig!

Hexatonic Major Scale over I-IV
