A bright, still winter's morning, with shimmering reverb over delicate fingerpicked guitar and a wistful piano melody

A Latin-sounding, Santana-esque guitar instrumental with plenty of tasty percussion

San Sebastian

Fun, confident, summery, beachy, quirky instrumental with acoustic guitar, strings, world percussion, and a neo-retro feel

a deep, still body of water that hides much beneath the surface.
Acoustic through a Fender Twin Silverface, electric through same.

Billabong

Spare, simple, yet sweet, moving and evocative, with a subtle yet distinctive theme. 
Written in a Bordeaux apartment on a baby grand.

Montreux Midnight

A languid, mesmeric drift through a four-chord cycle, with an implied melody that circles and feels settled without ever coming to a stop.
Written one evening in Bordeaux in a rented apartment on a baby grand.
