LIVE 181 • Dragonfly at Dawn (Improv)

Dragonfly at Dawn is part of what has become a small group of improvisations (dubbed Dragonfly Songs) exploring related ideas and textures.  This improv serves as a meditation of sorts, with a recurring set of phases floating over a drone from the lower strings.  It also feels like a contemplative interlude between some of the other improvisations in the group.  Hope you enjoy.

LIVE 179 • Dragonfly in the Rain (Improv, 812ce)

Recorded during a thunderstorm, this improvisation expands upon some of the ideas and textures from my song Welsh Dragonfly.  This recording and some other, related recordings made on different guitars and at different times, have formed into a small group I’ve dubbed  Dragonfly Songs.  Sometimes it’s good to further explore familiar musical terrain and approach existing themes from a new angle.  Hope you enjoy.
