Without End

It was about five years ago that I recorded this solo flamenco guitar piece, in a festive and fiery style called Bulerias. Both a challenge and fun to play. Much to my surprise Mirko Borach has come up with a fretless bass addition now, with his signature sound and style, using both the source material and adding some of his funk and fusion sounds. Really cool! Please do check it out and don’t forget to also head over to his profile here on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/stringburner

Hope you’ll enjoy the music and as always I appreciate and enjoy your likes, comments and shares!

Shake

I have deep respect for Joshua Trinidad and his music, and I'm excited to share this collaboration. Isolation features non-retrogradable/palindromic rhythms in the right hand of the piano part. The outer sections are in 5/4, and the middle section is in 9/8, in case you like to know such things.

Willing To Take A Chance

I composed this melody on the piano but I couldn't find a name for it. It was just a sad melody and... we have winter ❄️. Finally I called the composition "Winter Sadness".

Winter Sadness (Demo Version)

I've re-recorded my arrangement of this Irish aire  (An Ghaoth Aneas) that some say is anonymous, but has also been credited to 'Freckled Donal McNamara' who in the 1700's was homesick for his County Mayo home.  Played on my Taran guitar tuned to DADGAD.
