This week's composition went live last night; it's an expression of the joy of playing rhythm #guitar. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/deepdale #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

This week’s composition moves through different rhythmic schemes and tempi, tracing to maintain a rhythmic relationship while ignoring the click. The vibe is loose; the road leads ahead. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/atimbia #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

This week&#39;s composition, kind of a grab-bag of time signatures on an alternatively tuned cheap guitar. There&#39;s kind of a cubist insistence to this. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/curlew #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic #WeeklyBeats

This week&#39;s #ambient #guitar #improv is now up, sounding like an expanded chamber ensemble passing lines seamlessly between and wind instruments. There&#39;s a slow but constant development. $0/name-your-price. Available on mirlo: https://mirlo.space/snwv/release/music-at-a-distance-308

This week&#39;s composition is where I let myself out of the four-minute limit of the last few years. I&#39;m also letting myself overload the A/D input. The overall vibe is *determined.* https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/early-winters-spires #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic #guitar

Does anyone in #Pittsburgh have a Thunderbolt 2 cable I could borrow for a few days? I&#39;m experimenting with putting Linux on an old MacBook Air, but need to do a backup first. Apparently I no longer have a Thunderbolt 2 cable (though I wonder if typing this out will cause one to manifest).

Monday&#39;s #ambient #improv on a $60 #guitar is now up. This one turned out particularly beautiful. It sounds a bit like singing bowl, reed, and brass instruments in a large, reverberant space. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-305 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

This Monday&#39;s #ambient #guitar #improv is up, with sounds of breath, reeds, brass, and singing bowls emanating from a $60 guitar. Lots of vibration in the upper partials, though this one&#39;s calm. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-302 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

Post #1630247
This week&#39;s composition sticks with the three-tracks-of-one-guitar approach: a $60 Univox Coily in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning. Alternating calm sections with propulsive sections, kind of get-yourself-centered music. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/blue-mountain Why so much just-one-guitar? I like the idea of making music with limited instruments and means. It&#39;s economical--people don&#39;t need that much to express themselves. It&#39;s a more human scale, I think. #ori...

Tonight, Monday April 13 from 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), will be my 303rd #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday series. Should this one be an entire octave down? Maybe. Let&#39;s find out at https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

This week&#39;s #ambient #guitar #improv comes with the sound of the breath, though it&#39;s all strings (on my first kit-built guitar). A slow, patient procession through familiar and unfamiliar territory. Let&#39;s get slow. $0/name-your-price. https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-303 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

This week&#39;s composition, three lines of #guitar, once again in 6/4. There&#39;s a bit of a roll to this one that I like. Still manifesting a kind of vibe. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/vermilion #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

Tonight, Monday April 20, from 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), I&#39;ll perform my 304th #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday series. There&#39;s a lot going on in the world, so if you need to dip into a slowly-moving current, it&#39;ll be at https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

Monday&#39;s harmonically-rich #ambient #guitar #improv is now up on Bandcamp. The timbres are a bit more nebulous now, maybe a bit of distant brass or singing bowls, and the tempos seem slower. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-304 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

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&#39;ll last on this guitar, though. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/prominent-spider #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

Tonight, March 23 from 8-9:30 PM EDT, will be my 300th Monday-night #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream since I started doing these in 2020. Slow down and listen to the music that manifests tonight. https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

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 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

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 #OriginalMusicTracks #originalMusic

Tonight, Monday March 30 from 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), I&#39;ll perform my 301st #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday series. What sounds will we hear? Let&#39;s find out together. It *might* be time to get #microtonal. https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

Monday&#39;s #microtonal #ambient #guitar #livestream is now up, featuring #justIntonation intervals, slow progression, and nebulous timbres. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-301 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

This week&#39;s composition, using the #microtonal #guitar for a fingerpicking instrumental. Sometimes floats, sometimes flows. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/cahir #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

Tonight, April 6 from 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4) will be my 302nd #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday series. It&#39;s been a while since I used the $60 Univox hollowbody in Fahey tuning, so that might be the thing tonight. Get oscillating at https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

This week&#39;s composition picks up the pace a bit, with some compelling, more propulsive themes than I&#39;ve used in a while. The vibes seem to be picking up here. https://streak.club/p/58669/viaduct-by-onezero #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

Some tests with the #feedback patch last week turned out much more musical than I&#39;d anticipated, and now you can hear them. (Now you&#39;re in the loop.) $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/feedback-quartets #maxMsp #originalMusic #darkAmbient

Monday&#39;s #ambient #pedalSteel session is now out, exploring calmness as a radical act, and two pieces in particular (3 &amp; 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 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic
