This is gorgeous!! I keep it up on my laptop to play every night before bed. <3 It's so different from any other music inspired by the desert. It has a welcoming -- dare I say, an almost cozy? -- wildness that is so calming and makes me want to close my eyes and enjoy the present moment wherever I am.
thank you so much, Lila - i love this description, and i'm so grateful to you for listening. i know what you mean about it having a cozy quality - i think that's part the warmth of the guitar, and part my obsession with all things cozy. it's so great to know you're listening to it regularly - thank you so much.
You can hear the desert move along to the melody. It’s as if it’s dawn and the creatures are stirring. I love minimalist songs. There is a space there that only exists within our ears.
so nice to hear from you - thank you so much for listening to this one. i really wanted to put so much space in this song, something i'm finding happening a lot lately as i play more guitar.
Sending a heartfelt thank you for creating this gift and sharing your talents on Substack. It has truly touched my soul in many ways🙏🏼. This has become my go to track. I have journaled, meditated, looked to the ocean, and drank morning cups of coffee with this piece. The short journey of emotions has brought me much healing! Thank you ❤️
wow. what a lovely and thoughtful comment. thank you so much for letting me know — I can't tell you how much it means to me to know this track has accompanied you during those moments. i'm honored.
thanks so much, Julian - I really appreciate you listening. wanted to mention that i've been loving the interviews you've been doing - really great work
Really enjoyed this one, the composition was really lovely and the tone of the guitar was such a nice compliment. Definitely provided a moment of calm, thank you!
Thank you so much, Fog Chaser, for this absolutely beautiful piece... I can't describe how fitting "through the tall grass" was for our moment of grief, as shared by my mom, Cheryl. I think this is one of the most valuable places on Substack and I am eternally grateful to you & your craft. 🖤🖤🖤
I enjoyed the laid back vibe of the piece. It inspires me to do some Open D Tuning. Thanks for sharing your memories of deserts. They truly are fascinating places!
thank you, Angel! the open D tuning is a lot of fun - everything just sounds so rich to me. (also - just comped you a lifetime subscription! thank you!)
Somehow I missed this when it came out last week. Beautiful work. I especially love the aspirated finger style--gives the song a feeling of urgency. I'm excited for the rest of the series!
This music made my day. thank you
that is so, so wonderful to hear - thank you very much, Victoria.
