This is a show stopper, superb playing at lightening speed, on a 12-string no less!

That 12-string sounds really nice.  Great playing!

That is some heart felt downright nervous picking.

SOS (Distress Signal Part 3)

detached

The Jersey streets are alive tonight
And the bridge is flooded with rain
The city’s coming through the windshield
And the wind howls like a train 

Headlights bounce off the gutters
And the girls on the boulevard
A siren closes the distance
And cuts off all the cars

The Red Bank rain hits me
Like a hammer from the sky
But the radio pulls me close 
Lays me out for another night 

The streets lay down so quietly
Like a promise left for dead
And the station’s fading fast
As the hours tick ahead

The screen door’s blowing open
And the headlights disappear
The DJ says the songs are coming
Like some turntable Paul Revere

The Red Bank rain hits me
Like a hammer from the sky
But the radio pulls me close
Lays me out for another night

Yeah, the Red Bank rain hits me
Like a hammer from the sky
But the radio pulls me close
Lays me out for another night

Stomping On My Guitar

I finally got my new Zoom R4 — this thing’s an awesome pocket-sized music studio. It has even a built in mic!
Constraints are powerful in creativity. Inspired by Oulipo and their love of constraints, mine is simple: everything has to be recorded and mixed on the Zoom R4.
Sample or remix any of these jams if you dare. If your version still resembles any of my input, we could throw it into my SC collab playlist if you're up for it.

Zoom R4 Jam 01 75bpm hip-hop rhythm

Feel free to sample these tracks.
If the result still carries any of my original input, I am happy to put your track on my collab playlist https://on.soundcloud.com/ZJx1u5uM5Td5rRtB8.
Either way, I’d really love to hear what you make with it.
 If you want me to send stems or the Ableton project, DM me.

This is my Ableton Note Fun series. 
All tracks are short stories  made on an iPhone in Ableton Note, with all its limitations, constraints, quirks, imperfections and plenty of fun in the process.

Nowhere
Recorded March - September 2025

This is an instrumental project that I recorded entirely with a Yamaha FG850. Kind of ended up being an exercise in seeing what sorts of sonic landscapes I could fill out with a single acoustic guitar and a little post production.
