"Down Deep" is an original played in DADGAD capo 2 on a guitar built by Tom Doerr (RIP). As you will hear, the title stems from the deep final note in the piece, but there is also an upper level single note melody which I hoped would be interesting to the listener. No other guitar in my collection could match the quality and fullness of the  high and low  notes needed for this piece than the Doerr Legacy (LS Redwood/Cocobolo). 
Thanks for taking a listen! I really appreciate it!

GRACEFUL AGING

Several years ago, we traveled from Alaska up into the Canadian Yukon and came upon Emerald Lake. Warm Autumn weather, fall colors and the sun creating amazing colors reflecting from the sediment in this gorgeous lake became the inspiration for this tune. 
Emerald Lake was inspiring...the vastness, beauty and fragile yet powerful nature of this special place is truly amazing. 
Played on a Doerr Legacy guitar, capo #2, CGCGCD tuning. Updated pro mix/mastered track.

Gold Finch (Globonial Plop Ham) (Sloppy Clam Man)

A tune written while playing a tin whistle as I was wading down a river. Every now and then I'd catch up to a duck, eventually getting fairly close as I continued to wade and whistle, then once I was quite near it, the duck would fly further down the river. This pattern continued for a little while and it seemed I was accidentally slowly chasing the duck. Which is where the name arose from. 

Instruments:
Kentucky mandolin, Killarney D tin whistle

Accidentally Following A Duck Down A River

As we stepped out of the magical forest, we found out some vibes were still there.

This is how Silva, our new single, was brought to life.

Enjoy the sounds of the forest and find yourself dancing while you're being cuddled by those melodies and rhythm.

Original songs and tunes played on all sorts of acoustic instruments, by Dan Jones (https://soundcloud.com/untamed-package) and Zach Schneider (https://soundcloud.com/zach-schneider-1).

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
