haiku #474: winter dawn / all forest paths / are mistakes

A collection of tracks recorded in 2022 - 2023

Anthology - Volume 1

Ambient Tracks

Dark Ambient

My first attempt at mixing my own music in only a slightly more serious way.  I mixed a primary guitar track with a fairly subtle backing track that is mostly guitar drones.  I put that down over a third track I recorded from the north shore of Lake Superior in April of 2021.  I hear all the mistakes but I just did it in one take with no edits.  I figure it can only go up from here.

More Or Less

Ambient guitar track over sounds of the Northshore recorded in 2021

The Other You

Recorded in a single take with Fender Jazz Master, Strymon Big Sky reverb and Zoom H6. Field recording from Iona's Beach Lake Superior.

Found And Lost

Recorded on a Gretsch Baritone guitar through a Strymon Big Sky and Fender Mustang GT200.  The field recording was captured on a Zoom H6 at Moss Lake, BWCA in April of 2021.

A Warm Life

A song for Lilly. My beautiful dancing daughter.

Written by Stu King
Performed on a Fender Jazz Master with Strymon Big Sky reverb pedal.
