Orange Joy Orange Joy
A little warmth for your day. A little color for your mind. A little joy set loose.
Sunset With Julius Sunset With Julius
Electric guitar. Bass. Drums. A slow pulse. A warm fade. The day ends. The groove begins. No words. Just motion.
Briny Crown Briny Crown
The rolling waves, they'd be his grave / Death wore a briny crown
Procrastinate (bnj) Procrastinate (bnj)
Just wait a little bit and then procrastinate
The Ballad of Cal Oroville The Ballad of Cal Oroville
At 92, he'd had enough and knew it was time to go.
Pretty Good Is Good Enough Pretty Good Is Good Enough
What's the condition of my ambition
Dead Wax Dead Wax
No polish. No pretense. Just the sound of something real trying not to disappear.
The Open Sea The Open Sea
A solo guitar floats through open water, easy and unhurried. The Open Sea is a mellow instrumental with space to breathe and room to drift.
Farewell, Farewell Farewell, Farewell
This is an acoustic remake of a song I recorded earlier. My original intentions were more along this recording than the electric one, but each one brings out different textures and moods. I've also used an interesting tuning for this, FGCGCE.
Sugar Salt Waltz Sugar Salt Waltz
When you said you loved me, I shook like the San Andreas fault.
O Salutaris Hostia O Salutaris Hostia
This solo guitar piece is my meditation on O Salutaris Hostia, a centuries-old Eucharistic hymn. No lyrics -- just the voice of the instrument, reaching toward mystery, mercy, and grace.
