#musiceverday 93 – Over The Highway

on April 6, 2016April 29, 2024 by Luke

Here’s a super rough “song”… I don’t know if it’s that, so much as an idea and letting the lyrics fall out of its pockets to see if there’s anything worth picking up.

#musiceveryday 87 – Too Long

on March 29, 2016April 29, 2024 by Luke

Here’s an outtake of guitar, the rest of the song was too long. It’s funny when I realize what I was listening to a lot when recording… in this case I think I must have definitely been on a Gillian Welch / Dave Rawlings kick.

#musiceveryday 85 – ceremonial

on March 27, 2016April 29, 2024 by Luke

I was almost going to “cheat” and post an old recording. But the whole idea is, for me, to find some joy in playing music everyday. Sharing it makes it more likely that that happens, in theory and practice. So I sat and played guitar. It’s not profound maybe, or show how rad I can shred. It’s just making music.

#musiceveryday 83 – Sarabande On An Old Mandolin

on March 24, 2016April 29, 2024 by Luke

I need to get a good mandolin or fix this ancient one or maybe put strings on it for the first time ever (probably maybe has not had new strings in 40 years) because it’s tuned the same way as a cello (fifths) so I can read sheet music and play along without hating everything. I like this Bach movement the best. From the suites, number 3.

I had fallen behind. I had Bruce Springsteen shows to go to and a show to play in San Diego and Spring to hike for and just life. So I decided to catch up and recorded the 8 missing tracks in the past two days. All cello based instrumentals. Enjoy!

#musiceveryday 69

This is one where I’m glad that the four track still works. I don’t know when I did this song, but it was very, very long ago. And it was when I’d use a handheld audio recorder to double up the vocals somewhat randomly.

on March 7, 2016March 7, 2016 by Luke

This morning the most tremendous thunder I think I’ve heard in LA… woke me up and admittedly I was kind of grumpy like “what is that rumbling sound argh” and then I’m so glad I got up in the early dawn and saw this wall of hail approach and flashes so close I decided being on the roof maybe not the optimal place to witness.

Also this is another solo cello improvised thingy.

#musiceveryday 61 – making up a song on the spot. to tell the truth I really like this way of “writing” lyrics. I’m not saying that *just* because I’m lazy… just that some of these off the cuff lines might be a LOT better than something I could turn over again and again.
