Sunspot (2016)

By Cosmic Cairns on May 20, 2016 5:57 am

I felt like getting away from the synths this week, so I busted out my cello and acoustic guitar and decided to do a new version of an old song.  The original version was recorded on my trusty 4-track cassette recorder way back in 1999.  Man, time flies.  Anyway, here's the 2016 rendition.

Sweet stuff, E! There's some nice flourishes in here

  Thanks!  I suppose I could post lyrics, although I'm not trying to claim they're anything mindblowing!  smile

  Thanks!  Summer's definitely in the air already.

Very raw and honest!  Sounds great - that delay is epic :-)

Nice, love that guitar. Feel like I'm ambling along in the high desert on a horse.

  Thanks!  I was playing around with some different delay settings just to kind of see what would happen.

Yes!  There is an awesome clip-clop beat you have there.

  I wonder if the horse has a name?
