Lough Leane

I started on this one late Friday, with the first phrase coming to mind (heard as the first theme in the left channel) manifesting in 7/4 time, so I kept with that time signature. The challenge was making the parts make sense with that constraint, since many of my reflexes are in 4 time--in some cases you'll hear an idea run out before the bar, or seem like it would naturally end a bit later. Still, the creative friction was interesting. Unexpected melodies showed up, and were definitely worth keeping.

As I've been doing for most recent pieces, this is three tracks of the same guitar with no effects, this time with the PureSalem in standard tuning. (I really have to change strings soon--there's quite a dent in the wrap of the D.) Some convolution reverb (small theater), and some multi-band compresson/eq.

The title comes from Lough Leane, near the R563.

so chimey and almost playful. the 7/4 gives a nice sway to the interconnecting lines, i really enjoyed this. nice to be in the small theater with you!

Lovely harmonies. Very melancholy. Feels super emo, which I love
