Endsongs 2

Live, 08 February 2007

Information
A Gibson Les Paul with Roland GK attachment, much rack-based equipment, many floor pedals, a MacBook, Ableton Live, a Roland SPDS and electronic drums. Two guys can make a lot of noise. This was a live performance and all was recorded directly to the computer. Yes, it's all improvised but I do start with a key/mode in mind (as opposed to the free jazz improvisations where I don't). Improvise, record, loop, improvise some more, record that... and so it goes on until 45:21 later we were finished (and so was the audience - ambient music is hard, it's even harder to find an audience than Free Jazz. Sigh!).

OK, I'm trying out the bittorrent service provided by www.bittorrent.com. This way we can keep the large music files complete and people can download them with some security that the downloads will compete. You can check our user area at this address.

You can download this torrent (for free) here. If you have issues with how to use torrents then please check the bittorrrent web site for help and instructions and getting the client software (I assure you it is really easy). This is a large file of over 50 MB (it is 45:21 of improvised ambient music - too much?) so be patient after you download the torrent file and then fire up the client to do the downloading.

If there is a problem with Bittorrent (which there is from time to time!) then the MP3 file can be downloaded here:
