Simple and minimal.

This past week I had two live, in-person performances, and spent some time with tracks from earlier this year--it's the first time I've officially released any of the weeklies. Laodica is a collection of 10 guitar tracks from this year.

So...that all leaves not a lot of time for a new track, but I managed to fit in a three-track guitar thing. The usual signal chain, and PureSalem Mendiola.

The title comes from Ontario's Parry Sound, which has highway 510 running nearby.

This is only a recording of ambient sound. Last week, my father passed away. I recorded quickly the Silence track of last week, before going to take my plane to bury him.

One week later, the aftermath. Time to go back home. I am sitting a last time in the calm aftermath recording the sound of that final night, as life seems to continue, even though the silence now sounds a bit different. Time to go home.

Pretty quick and dirty as far as compositions go. I have less time than usual because I'm in a wedding this weekend.. so I'm trying to stay ahead of the curve.

I also, feel sort of disconnected and chaotic right now.. so my adherence to any sort of structure feels diminished.

I think normally I might try to expand this out, or move things around to make it feel like it has a more natural start and finish, and flow.. but like.. I guess the feelings are reflected in the less predictable thing we have here.

Deephouse groove. Needs mixing and a better arrangement. Comments most welcome.
