Dreamboat

Another album of songs in the short span of a few weeks (I surprise myself), "Dreamboat". Recorded live in two live sessions over 6th and 7th October 2012, 14 songs, 54 min. Three microphones, piezo line for the guitar, all simultaneously mixed straight down as a stereo track. Living room ambience. Demo level stuff really, but, Hey! A bunch 'a songs.

Life, Art and Reason

This album of 14 songs basically represents my work ranging from the late 1990s until now. A few of these songs are brand new, a few are early ones, and the rest are spread out 'tween then and the present. The takes here are reworked versions of those songs (slight changes in the arrangements and perchance a melodic change here an' there). The songs are all recorded in my living room (three microphones, small mixer, an ambience of echo, two channels to the HD, a bit 'a mastering [WaveLab], an' that's it), all done over the span of three sessions in September 2012 (with an audience of one, Diana Janaviciene, a sudden visitor, who helps out with the spherical bells on "Merry Christmas"). So it's all live. "Ah! Dance!" and "Bright Moon" are the new songs (Ah! Dance! is its first take half an hour after I took half an hour to write it, surprised me). Enjoy Albatross
