I've been in Montreal
for a while now and I can't boast many live venues...but the Yellow
Door has been important in my performance experience. I was caught on
tape, part of a TV McGill feature on an opening night there - here it
is for you (why do I look like such a 'yuppie'!?).
I also share a 'new' instrumental
piece captured at the Yellow Door last month. |

There was a time when I
thought singing and playing at the same time was one of the great
mysteries of life. Then Johanna came along, a first song I wrote on a
flash of inspiration. The rest just evolved from that moment. Here is
Johanna, a raw home recording part of a little session to produce a
draft demo. |

My second public
appearance in Montreal was less than a success, but it was still a
good time. It was the closing event of the Jazz festival on that day,
so there was not many ears at our show. I was sharing the scene with
Mike McDonald and other fine musicians and I was even graced by Dog's
friendly presence. You can hear him jiggling around in this live lo-fi
recording of 'Squall'. |

While in Ottawa, I started a cooperation in music with Natalie
Bartosek to explore something other than my purely instrumental sound.
We were ambitious at first but when I moved away, our little project
kind of fizzled.
We had time to record a few songs and I decided to put them up here,
since I don't know when and if we will work on this project again.
The first song we made together is
'Stuck in a Moment' and this was followed by 'Crossroads', two songs
in alternate guitar tunings. 'Empty' is basically a recycled song. I
just love what Natalie did with my 'La Ballade du Voyageur' song. I
hope you enjoy this different material.

I held a little CD
launch on Dec 7 at the Restigouche Art Gallery on December 7th 2003.
The little show attracted a few people even with the snowstorm raging
outside and it wa all taped in crappy quality for that genuine
fan-grab feel. Right, so I picked a song for you to sample. If by any
chance someone would be interested in the whole show, I'm sure
something could be done... |
Watching Us From Above [first recording]

Since the recording
process was mostly an individual endeavor, I learned much as I went
along. Consequently, I ended up re-recording the whole 'Progression'
album for better quality except the last song. 'Watching us from
Above' is one of those songs that is always a bit different every time
Marc and I play it. To keep the sound quality the same for the whole
album I included the re-recorded version. I did keep the old version
but the recording is bad and our timing is off at times. Here it is
anyway, for the ones interested. |
Pictures
For those of you interested in where I go, where I play, when I
play, how I play, how I look, and all that jazz...(click on pic for bigger
format)
Poetry
For those interested in the written art, I'd like to share some of
my poetry. Let me know what you think!
