Ambient instrumental guitar rock... Lots of expansive stereo delay effect... Strangely uplifiting, actually.

Picture for song 'Sailor's Warning' by artist 'Khoa Tran'

Sailor's Warning Sailor's Warning

My most ambitious work so far... A musically "minimalist" piece with repeating motifs, like most of my other stuff. It features an attempt at reworking a theme from "Red Shift" in a different context.

Soundclick Links: -- a friend from my university town of London, Ontario -- crazy piano-dude who's all into this classical expressionist stuff, but who's slowly but surely caving into the evils of midi and computer music (a fellow Mike Oldfield fan, to his credit)... -- A sickeningly good young guitarist and musician. He's got excellent natural ability, and with a bit more training, could be deadly!
