seagull test tune 01 seagull test tune 01
Test tune of Q1 piezo and fender noiseless mag pickup sound, only slight reverb added. The MP3 conversion does seem to colour / compress the sound a fair bit it seems

Airie 1994 remastered Airie 1994 remastered
One of three original solo sustainer guitar demos. This has a bit of a celtic flavour, more interesting is perhaps the middle section. A single guitar and roughly improvised. Squeaky trem but demos the sustained bass over clean chords effect nicely

Beckistan 1994 remastered Beckistan 1994 remastered
The first demo made with the sustainer strat the morning after completing it. I really like this tune and have it on my ipod. This version fixes a little mistake, otherwise it was all improvised on the spot. Solo guitar into audacity at 4am

The Yearning 1994 remastered The Yearning 1994 remastered
One of three tunes demonstrating the original psw sustainer strat, soon after building it. This $50 strat had a driver built on top of the neck pickup. The sustainer sustained strings and can generate harmonics. These are all clean solo guitar pieces

BiaB Rock Out 1989 BiaB Rock Out 1989
'Band in a Box' generated sequence and a 'one take' rock out improvised solo using a Boss Turbo distortion and delay direct into a cassette tape. BiaB playing GM midi sounds from an old 386 and bearely coping with that LOL.

Generating Whales 1988 Generating Whales 1988
A strange tape of some very early experiments building a guitar 'sustainer'. On this old tape, I used a flanger on the drive signal which pinged off singling harmonics in response to the sounds of the guitar playing, occasionally a bit of 'sustain'

drobo-esque drobo-esque
My old epiphone $40 acoustic again, recorded with a cheap mic and little mag pickup and a chorus I think plus a bit of analogue delay. Could be open G tuning perhaps, very rare for me to retune the guitar though. Many years old and saved from a tape

Feeling my way in the dark 1982 Feeling my way in the dark 1982
Another old cassette recording from long ago and recently found. Overdubbed by swapping tapes between two cassette decks. There is a bit of a Jeff Beck influence in the trills and that old 'definitely,maybe' kind of early era I can hear.

Faux Mando 1988 Faux Mando 1988
Layers of spanish 'classical' guitar, some played mandolin style, hence the name. Again, remastered with reaper from some very old cassette with a touch of noise reduction and added reverb. Improvised way back when...

Guitar Dream 1982 Guitar Dream 1982
More cassette taped tunes. I was always pleased by this mysterious improvisation and layered guitars. I think the 'bass' was a slowed down guitar and all the rest swelled and layered acoustic guitars and an improvised lead and double tracked melody.

Theme for An Imaginary Detective mid1980's Theme for An Imaginary Detective mid1980's
Someone lent me a Moog for a day or so, and cheap drum machine LOL...it was the 80's and I was bouncing tracks between two domestic tape machines, layering and the sound quality diminishing as it went on. Not a bad 'composition' all things considered

A classical guitar piece, composed, played and recorded by me in 1983. The title a tribute to my father who was an architect. It was written for my final exams that year and performed at the end of year concert and never heard again till now!
