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.

A quick, fun Canada Day project: yesterday morning, the great Canadian guitarist and educator Matt Warnock shared his arrangement and backing tracks for a solo over the changes of the Schwarz/Dietz standard “Alone Together”, in the style of the late Canadian guitar great Ed Bickert, using some direct quotes. To celebrate the day and pay tribute to two greats, I learned and recorded his arrangement by that night, adding my own solo just after 2:00.

“Locating Echoes”, a new solo guitar/electronics piece of mine was included on the Ottawa Experimental Music Comp II compilation, released today.

My solo guitar version of Wayne Shorter’s “Footprints” will be broadcast on CKCU-FM’s post-rock etc programme Hexon Bogon tomorrow morning (5 May) between 9:30-11:30 am. Thanks, Adriana! Listen at 93.1FM in the Ottawa area or online anywhere.
I recorded this solo guitar arrangement of Wayne Shorter’s tune “Footprints”, using expression pedals to modulate short digital delay times.
I just released an EP with modern solo guitar arrangements of two traditional carols. (For those so inclined, “God Rest You Merry Gentlemen” is arranged in two-voice bimodal counterpoint and “Les anges dans nos campagnes” (“Angels We Have Heard on High”) is a chord-melody arrangement drawing on jazz harmony; both have improvised solo sections. “Les anges” was recorded last year and put out on Soundcloud but it is properly mastered here.
Thanks again to Adriana Ciccone for including a piece from Electric Currents on CKCU’s Hexon Bogon for the second week in a row.
