The doors of the dark hall under a deeply overcast sky beckon.

Endless Night

Every once in a while I feel the urge to do some country picking. Sometimes I revisit and old tune or sometimes I write a new one. In this case I merged to older tunes into a new arrangement. 
The reason I wanted to do some country this time is that I created a preset on the Tone Master Pro that I really like and I used that for all guitar tracks on this tune.

Western Headware

A stomping two stepping good time country song that is sure to get your toes tapping and stuck in your head.

Cube Deville - Aaron Holstein 1 Man Band (2025)

For Internet Excess' two-part, 3 Year Anniversary episode (4/5/22 being our first airdate!), I had the one, the only, my bestie DJ L E on the show!!! 🎉🥳

DJ L E and I have been best friends for thirteen (13!!) years - literally half of our lives. They're one of my biggest inspirations and musical mentors - someone who truly broke my world wide open as a teen and introduced me to a different way of thinking about music. 

Listen to hear us discuss:
- their impact on my musical journey
- their own musical journey, full of genre contradictions 
- how this radio show LITERALLY WOULDN'T EXIST without them

Also, look at that side-by-side of us in 2012(!) and us today 🥲 - the more things change, the more things stay the same 🥹

Love you DJ L E! <3 

(PART TWO - EPISODE 79 - COMING SOON BTW!)

Music For World Peace: Improvised Guitar and then a Stack of Overdubs 4.23.2025

One of my favorite methods for creating music by myself is to record to a click (in Ableton Live) starting with one instrument. The first instrument I play a continuous improvisation for a set period of time and this becomes the arrangement for the song (i try to do no edits or note-repair to the 1st instrument).  
Then I start layering. 
For this video/song I started with the Stratocaster (most of this video shows this single, improvised take) 
Next I added bass (Fender Jazz Bass) and I looped the 1st 4 bars, while listening to the Stratocaster part and click. I came up with an exact part to compliment the Stratocaster improvisation and then move on to the next 4 bars. I repeated this process for the whole song. My goal is to create a supportive part that makes the Strat improvisation feel composed.
Then I repeated this process of section-by-section composing with a Telecaster guitar layer, a lap steel layer (Gretsch),
then Drums which i did a bit differently. 
Drums were recorded while listening to a mix of all other instruments plus click, in a continuous way straight through the whole piece. I believe I did 6 full takes of drums and then edited ("comped") the best parts from each to create one continuous drum track.
Then I added 1 more drum take played with mallets for washy cymbal hits to add some drama.
Recorded 4.22.2025
Mixed 4.23.2025
