I would like to introduce you to my latest #ExperimentalMusic madness. This track is called Rush hour (all in my head), and it's a thematic #improvisation on Oldie (my 4-string #fretless cigar-box #guitar).
I may consider putting it up elsewhere for download if there's interest, but somehow I don't think most people would like to listen to it twice. Expect a rapid tempo, random odd meters, and no real tonal centre.

Some morning #fretless #guitar with my trio. Audio recording of a loose improv at a club in #Durham, #NC some years back.

It’s a $100 Sx #stratocaster. I pulled the frets, filled the slots with marine epoxy and sanded the fretboard smooth. Some #qtron #autowah thrown in around 5:24.

I used the music rebalance module in #izotope Rx to #demix and get the instruments a little better balanced.

Better video of our performance of #PeterOstroushko’s #mandolin composition #SacredHeart pts 1 and 2.

#DannyGotham on mando. He was a close friend of Peter’s and did several tours with him.

I transcribed the guitar for pt 1 from the original. I actually only got the music for pt 2 a few days before the performance. Fortunately it wasn’t very hard. E. Scott Warren w the unforgettable #fretless #bass part.

Daily #SteveKimock. His only genuinely solo record. He says “This is me at 15, lying on my back in my bedroom closet listening to Pink Floyd with headphones.”

Lots of great sounds—#fretless #resonator, bottleneck #SlideGuitar, electronic noises (all made with electric guitar and effects pedals).
