Volume II of live, improvised, one-take, gig-ready songs. The point of what I’m doing now musically is getting away from any form of artifice. They are all live, one-take stereo recordings, not multi-track, with no added effects other than minimal volume editing and EQ. The sound and mix is all set up in the room and is one voice, one guitar, 3 amps and a Pearl Export bass drum. No overdubs allowed. I got fed up with creating things I couldn’t possibly replicate. Not using click tracks or drum machines frees me up to speed up, slow down or instantly go in any direction I choose. It may be minimalist but it’s real.
