Reflections


New!

Gem's Latest recording!  Recorded with Cakewalk Metro 5 on a Power Computing Custom computer in glorious 
multitrack digital!  Recorded as part of a session that lasted from 2000-2002, this is the first installment of this
collection of songs.  Multiple layers of baritone, standard, and acoustic guitars with drums and vocals and studio
magic fill each of the 6 new tracks( & 4 alternate mixes.)  Heavily featured on this outing is Gem's tasty lead guitar
playing.  Three songs are showcases of lead guitar playing.  A sometimes bluesy, sometimes over the top mix of
essential guitar listening...

I  am currently editing material from the same session that yielded "Reflections."  There will be 4 instrumentals,
1 song with a vocal, and remixes or new material.  The project name is "Forgotten," reflecting the title of one of the songs.  As with the "Reflections" Session, the instrumentals originally had lyrics-in some cases vocals- which fell by the wayside as the instrumentals struck a particular chord in my heart.
For those home recordists whom are interested in samples, I am embarking on a  royalty free loop/sample CD project for the baritone guitar.  Interested parties should email me with their comments and  suggestions regarding the project.
