Took the fretless out for the first time in ages since I wanted to see if I can use it for a cover/arrangement I've been thinking about. When warming up I recorded this short bit. 

This guitar was my first ever electric guitar that came as part of a starter guitar pack from Stagg. It originally had a thick deep see through blue colour that me and my dad stripped down to the base layer. Also he helped me taking out the frets later on and fill the gaps up with resin (thank you dad:)). At some point I installed a 1979 DiMarzio X2N that I got off ebay -- actually the oldest piece of guitar related stuff I own. 

I'm using the Bluguitar Amp1 here along with the Fairfield Circuitry "Shallow Water" and the Mooer A7 for the rever, as well as some reverb in Ableton Live. 

I'm really fed up with the hiss coming from the mixer. Before I start recording my next release I really need to take a look at some good mid-size consoles. Any recommendations?

Also: Apart from my other releases I've got my first soundtrack on Bandcamp, so if you want a free download of cool sci-fi sounds head on over to the following link. You can also check out the last three original albums I've done.

El vals peruano, es un género muy cultivado en la costa, sin detrimento de otras regiones del país. Es curioso notar como en el género pueden haber canciones de corte tan alegre y despreocupado, como canciones de infinita tristeza; como su ejecución puede tener tanto elegancia, como la rabia y la tristeza más visceral. Cada Domingo a las doce es una canción triste, perfecta para combinar el género con rasgos de blues y rock. Enjoy!

Another day
of the week
Are you ready

It’s not what you know
It’s how you know it

It’s not what you do
Its how you do it

It’s not what you see
It’s how you see it

Its not what you hear
Its how you hear it

It’s not what you feel
It’s how you feel it

It’s not what you touch
It’s how you touch it

It’s not what you use
Its how you use it

It’s not what you want
It’s what you get

And that's the story
And that’s the end

Have I surprised YOU
Cause that’s
What it is!

Il Neige Sur Assise.        Texte :Sanzen

Boule de neige au salon, mon enfance sur un vieux guéridon
Sous la cloche en trois dimensions , Assise , mes émotions
Solitaire sans raison , encombré de ce corps bien trop grand
j’envahis tout l’espace restant  qui est fait d’un seul et même plan.

Et pendant ce temps tu défies placide la  gravitation .  
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , tu traverses tel un géant  les saisons
grâce à ton  humour ,à ton amour, ta superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  ,  quelques flocons dans ton salon.   

je me construis un univers fait  d’huiles et de pastels dorés
ma toile est comme la vie trop souvent déséquilibrée  
je me sers un peu moins de ma tête que de mon coeur , de mes grands pieds.
peindre c’est pas toujours la fête , le gout une valeur trop partagée .
 
Et pendant ce temps tu défies placide la gravitation .  
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , tu traverses tel un géant les saisons 
grâce à ton  humour ,à ton amour, ta superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  quelques flocons dans ton salon. 

 
Unijambiste dans….ma tête ,je suis en lévitation 
je mets du rouge dans  mon salon, sous cloche mon horizon
du doré sur ma toile une  vie captive sous les flocons...
quelques facéties  , mon enfance sur le vieux guéridon

Et pendant ce temps on défie tous la gravitation 
ce n’est pas toujours la fête , on traverse comme on peut  chaque saison
grâce à de l’ humour ,à de l’amour, une superbe autodérision
et si ça se trouve  ,si ça se trouve , à quelqu’un comme Francois Anton.

Il Neige Sur Assise    Sanzen / Illos

Midnight Bazaar

The melody is light and gentle, as if you were playing in the snow all day long.
