Description : This is another guitar and sax improvisation. I used a delay on the guitar to add an extra rhythmic quality which I found in the line 6 toneport. It's quite a difficult beast to control, because you have to be in perfect time to get the repeats matching. You can hear there are a few places where it goes against the grain, but it still kind of works. The guitar and sax were recorded first take, again I'm looking to improve the instant mental composition part of my ability, I know holes can be picked in these performances, but that's why I'm doing this. I want to improve all aspects of my music and playing. This song just came out with a classical flavour. It's not my usual bag, but I dig the technique involved, and I can hear the parts of my playing I need to work on to improve if and when I decide to continue with a song in this vein.
This one is my favorite to date out of these improvisations, I hope it gives you some sort of emotion as you listen..
Cheers Slap...

I realy don't think I am exagerating anything when I say that everything you tuch turn golden. It realy affects my mood in a very positive way when I listen to it. That being said, the backround guitar could have a more flavoured delay stereo-wise.
I kinda felt that the saxophone was done no justice by its soroundings.
Really impressive!
It's really an excellent track(added it instantly to my favs).Love this delay(I also work with toneport).I think it doesn't matter if it goes against the grain sometimes cause it gives some variations.You sax playing is really beautiful too,I got a song called "Shine" that's crying out for a sax melody.If you're interested...

Hey Slap....instant favourite..I'd love the guitar piece to suddenly change into a choir with the same motif....you can dip your musical oar into anything....very evocative...this whole piece is fantastic..there's so many possibilities that come to mind...incredible..and yeah,way tricky to keep the delays in sync!..cheers Dave

Description : Hi, I just had to try and do my own type of music tribute to the sad and unfortunate events in Manchester the other night
I start the song off with a type of music box to represent like a young child and then i go into a violin strings to try and set the sadness and then after a while i used some soft drum and clicks to represent time ticking and then with just the piano and then in the middle of the track it picks up pace a bit and i decided on this because to represent the strength of the people that will stand strong and i once again also put the music box in with this and my reason was to be strong for the rest of the children and then i finsh up with the piano again and the ending on the drum to remember the lives sadly lost and a type of silence if it were
i really feel so sadened by this event and it trully has me in bits
may we all come together and forever be strong and stand up to these horrible people who think they can destroy us and our children and families and loved ones

Description : Recorded this a while ago.. Raw, lovely.. I'm an electric guitarist so this is unfamiliar territory for me... I always wanted to master classical acoustic and I will one day. Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMt7o3ty9pw *Edit* Despite this being painfully obvious, this is not my composition, it's an effort to learn classical guitar and note the progression for future nostalgia.. This site is making me think I should give the anti-vaxxers some credence. Ffs.
