Nine: The Album Please download! Go to: http://www.asondheim.org/nine/ There are nine guitarworks here, a full lp album's worth. These were recorded absolutely flat in a silent recording studio, one microphone, no equalization or effects. The guitar is the old unlabeled Larson (?) parlor guitar, from around 1910. It's tuned to D, more or less. I'm happy with these pieces - all mp3s - they represent my stumbling or stuttering in relation to the scales/soundwork/chords I'm using. The labor comes through, which is important to me. (It represents literally 40 years of work.) The pieces were recorded first take, within an hour and a half. -
