Frenzy

Raw live recording of this past Thursday's show at Lot 1 Cafe in Echo Park, benefitting the awesome folks at http://826la.org (the geniuses behind Echo Park Time Travel Mart!)

Charlie Domingo- electric bass and Juno 6 synthesizer
Jake Jamieson- drums and percussion devices

Two sets of improvised music. The second set starts at 19:45.

Since it was a jazz night, Jake and I took the liberty to freely improvise while incorporating themes from my own songs (like Sunrise and Rainbows Abound) and some themes from jazz and other musics. 
Listen carefully and you might hear some (crazy) renditions of these sounds:
Radiohead- Idioteque
Little Dragon- Twice
Thelonious Monk- Epistrophy
Charles Mingus- The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive Ass Slippers
Madlib- Snake Charmer (Heads Up)
Hitomi Oba- Monuments of Red
Mongo Santamaria- Afro Blue

Big thanks to all that came out and enjoyed it and to Rarebit and crew for having us play and for capturing the music.

Till the next show...
Peace and blessings,
Charlie

Live at Lot 1 Cafe - 4.26.2012

Ryan Ayers began playing guitar at the age of thirteen. He attended Loyola Marymount
University and graduated with degrees in classical guitar performance and recording
arts. It was there that he began his studies with classical guitarist Martha Masters.

An active composer for over ten years, Ryan released his first record of ten original
pieces for guitar entitled ermita in 2011. In 2012, he published the corresponding sheet
music and tablature. These pieces employ classical guitar technique to explore the
reaches of steel string and finger style guitar. A gifted melodist, Ryan also likes to
experiment with gestures, textures, and rhythmic ideas in his compositions.

In addition to composing, Ryan records and produces recordings and albums for other
guitarists and solo instrumentalists.
