1949 http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1056 An improvisation on my 1949 Di Giorgio guitar. This is the instrument I've played the longest; the result is I feel a kind of mastery/misstery with it, or perhaps the reverse. I wrote an article on it for Signal to Noise a few years ago; it has a unique sound and is tuned quite low. This is the first time I've played it in a while, although I usually play one piece with it on any of my recordings. The improvisation is 35 minutes; I wanted to see what I could do with this kind of form. I like to think a certain phenomenology of structure and emotion comes through. You can skip around or play as background. This is for Pat Courtney and Geoff Dugan (who's playing a nice flamenco guitar now). http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1056 (best) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/1949.mp3
