about

16 songs featuring many different guitar tunings. All acoustic with a hint of bass, keys and synths in places. Recording began late November 2019 and finished up right after Christmas. I played a Fender acoustic guitar along with Yamaha classical with nylon strings. Microphones were AKG P120 and MXL 990 both condenser mics. Mics fed into ART TPS II tube preamp then into Steinberg UR22 interface which connects to USB on computer. I also used sparingly a MIDI keyboard and Telecaster. Produced with Mixcraft Pro Studio 9.
I usually don't bother naming songs. It's pretty meaningless because each person has a different take on any specific tune. So I will title the songs in the way they were constructed.....then that way in the future I will be able to keep track of what procedure was used. No messages to proclaim here....use your imagination. Best listened to while relaxing. This music is mostly soft, meditative and soothing (at times).
