Music is life. I have many musical interests spanning numerous musical genres. Whether it’s quiet peaceful instrumental guitar music to blasting loud drums to small chamber music orchestrations or string quartet–I love it all.
Future and Past Sound Recordings:
Monsters—as In the Key of K, series of rock songs related to Monsters, not yet in publication, will release singles first, probably starting in 2025.
Re-releases—upcoming releases of old stuff from the 90s and Aughts that haven’t really enjoyed the streaming era. I want to re-record some parts and try to clean up the old/live audio. Singles will start to be released in 2025, probably. It is quickly approaching the 30 year anniversary of my first two albums I hope to get them re-edited, updated, and re-mastered in time.
Sonatas—four solo guitar sonatas composed by me, not yet in publication, may be released in 2025 or 2026.
13—solo guitar pieces by virtually unknown American composers from the late 19th/early 20th century, not yet in publication, may be released in 2025 or 2026. This one is a bit laughable–I’ve been procrastinating recording this for more than ten years.
Spanish Nights—Solo guitar pieces by Spanish composers from the Renaissance to the late 19th century, arranged by me, published in 2009, still available at ITunes, YouTube Music, and Spotify.
Deliver—as Slagdial, published in 2007, a rock album that was widely available as a CD and on all streaming services, no longer in publication but if you look hard enough you may find it.
Graduate Recital—live audio recordings of my 2007 graduate recital, all music written by me, including music for string quartet, brass quintet, solo piano, guitar duet, and solo guitar, never officially published but released for free online from 2007 until 2016
Live 2004—live audio recordings from 2004, various composers for solo guitar, Renaissance to present day, never published but copies were given to family members and friends. The recording of this performance was not very good. I was able to salvage some audio from the VHS recording but it wasn’t very good either. I don’t think any of it is salvageable.
Live 2003—live audio recordings from 2003, various composers for solo guitar, Renaissance to present day, no longer in publication
Volume V—audio recordings of instrumental music composed by me for solo guitar (and bucket), published from 2002 until 2018, no longer in publication
Vested Angels Fallen—published in 2000, this was a sort of ‘best of’ from earlier Lewd Blue material with five or six new tracks and some re-recorded tracks of Nøthing Special songs. Fewer than 100 copies were made but some tracks were available digitally for a short time, no longer in publication.
The third Lewd Blue album was about half finished in early 1998 before my life changed drastically and I never got back around to finishing it. I managed to salvage a few tracks but nothing was completely finished.
Out of Time and Out of Tune—as Lewd Blue, recorded in 1998, a bunch of rock songs where I wrote all the parts and played all the instruments. I made a bunch of cassettes and mailed them to my friends.
Stink Bastard—as Lewd Blue, recorded in 1997, a bunch of rock songs where I wrote all the parts and played all the instruments. I made a bunch of cassettes and mailed them to my friends. The first few copies I sent out were just titled Stink Bastard. Shortly after, I renamed myself to Lewd Blue. A re-lease of Mood Swings from this album is streaming everywhere.
Demo—as Nøthing Special, recorded in 1996, I played drums and co-wrote songs. Two other friends sang, played guitar, and co-wrote. We had several bass players but none of them stuck around for very long. Several dozen cassettes were made.
Loaded Demo-from a band with my cousin called Loaded Dice in 1995. We only played for six or eight months but it was a blast. The demo consisted of practice sessions that were recorded to cassette on a stereo and then duplicates were made. I played drums. My cousin wrote songs and sang. We had several guitar and bass players. Maybe ten copies were made.
