I released this new free EP for Halloween yesterday: https://sundarsubramanian.bandcamp.com/album/toccata-and-fugue-state-halloween-2024
It features an electric guitar arrangement of Bach’s famous organ Toccata from BWV 565, as well as a new piece of spooky sound effects made with extended guitar techniques.
Thanks to Sean McFee, who hosted Studio J Jukebox on CKCU (93.1 FM in Ottawa) yesterday morning for playing my version of “Footprints” in the midst of an excellent programme.

See you at Jumping Bean tonight if you are in St. John’s.
I have two upcoming solo gigs at the Jumping Bean Cafe on Elizabeth Ave in St. John’s – Sept 27 and Oct 25!
It’s been a while since I updated – hard to keep up with everything that’s happened! My wife and I have relocated to St. John’s, NL, as she found a job at Memorial University. I’m looking forward to teaching, composing and performing here. I’ve completed my new album Opening and will release it on Oct 11.
My first new recording here is this loose interpretation of the Beatles’ classic “Michelle”, which I’d been working out in gigs at Aladdin Roastery and the Ottawa Guitar Society’s open mic nights: https://soundcloud.com/sundar-subramanian/michelle
I’m going to perform again with David Campbell at 1:30 pm on Saturday May 11 at Aladdin Roastery at 774 Blvd St-Joseph in Gatineau (Hull). Spend the afternoon with a coffee and new guitar music!
Je vais jouer des morceaux pour la guitare seule ainsi que des duos avec David Campbell à 13h30 le samedi 11 mai à la Brûlerie Aladdin à 774 Blvd St-Joseph à Gatineau (Hull). Passez l’après-midi avec un café et de la musique originale!
I’m going to do some more guitar soli and duets with David Campbell at the Happy Goat on Elgin St. on January 26. Hope to see you there!
Here’s a clip David recorded of a new piece I premiered on Friday at the Happy Goat, layering solos and loops over a bossa nova groove.
