Instrumentals



Here is an older collection of instrumental songs from about 07/08. While I was living in Montreal I had the idea of starting a guitar orchestra and these were the early sketches of the kind of music I wanted such a group to play.

There are some really great moments to be heard here, but on the whole most of these recordings are either highly experimental or wildly sparse and uninspired as most of my early experience writing music was with making loops, and it seems I made quite the habit of repeat-repeat-repeating myself.

I did attempt to expand a few of these songs, although I think the only one I succeeded with was "The Moon", which became "Genius & Morning Light" from "A Month Of Sundays, Forever".

Any which way, I hope you enjoy this little look back.
