This week's track is a return to the fingerpicking guitar trio thing, this time with the Just Intonation Tele Deluxe. Digging into the mechanics of performance, there are hammer-ons I'd like to perform, but find difficult--at the nut, the neck is narrower than a few of my more-fingerpicking-compatible instruments (parlor guitar, PureSalem Mendiola). So it's interesting.

This one was a bit tricky to edit together--many parts begin on an off-beat, and recording over two sessions meant that the feel between some parts ends up quite different.

In any case, there's a gentle, contemplative vibe to this.

The title comes from the minor planet 583 Klotilde.

Story

Another week without my OP-XY, so I once again re-visited a song that I started last year. I really like the sonic space of this song. I tried to apply all my newly acquired EQ abilities to bring out the things I really like in the song using the M8's newish ability to EQ individual instruments. I hope I didn't over-do it.

Hopefully I will be back to making brand-new music next week, as my replacement OP-XY should be here by Tuesday!

i humbly submit this track i technically started last week but finished this week. which was for RPM. i learnt a lot! it was super fun! i will definitely do it again next year. this is the track i feel reflects a lot of what i was trying to do at the beginning of the month, but didn't quite know how yet.

it does have swearing in it again. sorry lol

we are probably back to very simple instrumentals for a while i am so tired :')

A quick and dirty fun track where I just plugged the guitar and recorded some silly simple melodies. And I spent the Sunday on the ocean shore as we had 20 degrees Celsius. The ocean recording is a recording of the Pacific Ocean. There were some Hawks as well, but I could not capture their sound and had to resort to a splice sample.
It's light and silly, but a track is a track.
