This week’s composition, once again with the Kalamazoo in modified tuning (and, distractingly, the vibrating metal pickguard). Kind of a meditative vibe here. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/tyril

Tyril
Going back to the well with the Kalamazoo. For this week, I really wanted a little more range under my hands, so I dropped the low string of last week's E F# C# E F# A tuning to this week's D F# C# E F# A. Does this one work? It flows, at least.
Under use, the pickguard has gotten a bit more rattly, so you hear it more here. My todo list now includes fret leveling/crowning/dressing, re-shimming the neck, a bridge replacement (including radiusing), and finally doing something about the pickguard rattle. The previous owner fashioned a pickguard out of a stop sign, which is part of this guitar's story, so it has to stay. But I'll gradually get it in shape. For now, though, it's rattling all over the place when I play more aggressively.
Once again, I have the JHS Colourbox 10 in the signal chain, along with some overdrive in the UA Volt. There's the usual send to a convolution reverb, and the usual compression/eq/limiter preset for the stereo mix.
The title comes from the elevation of Mount Tyril in the Faroe Islands--639m.
This week brought my 300th Monday #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream since starting the series six years ago. This one is still slow, but seems more energetic, the notes of the #pedalSteel humming with a charge. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-300

An old #guitar in a new tuning. (I should do some fret leveling and dressing, and clamp down that rattling pick guard,) F#m7 tuning is an interesting experiment; not sure how long it'll last on this guitar, though. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/prominent-spider

Prominent Spider
A week or so ago, I found a tuning I'd written down, though I don't remember where I'd encountered it or when. This one's E F# C# E F# A. It's sonorous, though the string intervals are fairly close, so there are a lot of unisons that pop up under one's hand. On impulse, I retuned my old Kalamazoo KG-2 to use this tuning, and we have a little exploration of it here.
The Kalamazoo needs some fret attention: you'll hear buzzing notes, and buzz from the not-entirely-stabilized fretboard. (That results in a kind of quack in a couple places.) It's just an honest statement of this instrument at this time.
Signal chain: Kalamazoo KG-2 through JHS Colourbox 10, into Ableton Live. There's some convolution reverb send, and multiband compression/EQ on the stereo mix.
The title comes from The Spider, a summit in Colorado with a prominence of 638 ft.

This week's composition, all #guitar, slow, gentle, and...maybe a bit too I-IV-V in the main melodic theme? There are some lush sections, and perhaps some sweetness as well.

Lost River
Three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola in standard tuning, no pedals. (The both-pickups channel probably could have used some JHS Colourbox, but I didn't patch it in.) There's a touch of send to a convolution reverb and the usual multiband compression/eq effect rack on the stereo mix.
I started this one with the first melody you hear, around the 12th fret, thinking I could shake things up a bit, and then realized it's in E, and had a strong pull to being I-IV-V. Oh well. I'm pretty sure I've used that one three-note motif before. Too trite? It's what I had this week, so in it goes: probably better to go with a more insistent melody rather than something that avoids it.
The title comes from the 637ft. elevation of Lost River, IN.
Monday's #ambient #MoogGuitar #improv is now up, featuring long, slow pieces, sounding a bit like a Morton Feldman piece with singing bowls. (But it's #guitar.) If you need something that moves slowly, it's $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-298

This week’s composition keeps with the guitar-only approach, indulging in a few harmonized melody lines (as I tend to do). There’s a bit of emotional content in places. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/little-bend

Little Bend
Friday night's tracking session brought up a couple parts that remain (0:41-1:25, 1:46-2:08), but there wasn't a hook until a second tracking session Saturday night resulted in harmonized melody lines over a chord progression. I'm kind of a sucker for that.
PureSalem Mendiola through JHS Colourbox into the UA Volt. A bit of convolution reverb, and multiband compression/eq. Unlike last week, this one's actually stereo.
The title comes from the meaning of Lúbán, a 636m peak in Ireland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobawn
Monday's #ambient #pedalSteel session is now out, exploring calmness as a radical act, and two pieces in particular (3 & 7) bringing it in inverse ways. I really got where I wanted to get on this one. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-297
