The cover stuff was played on a SINGLE-NECK Steinberger and is meant to show the tapping in a more conventional format. They are posted for all who might be interested. |

Here are the booklets that accompany my CDs. |
Technical Explanation |
All the guitar music was recorded live with minimal edits. The "old" double-neck is a Steinberger GM2 . They are both six string necks and are tuned as standard guitars. The techniques described above also apply to the single-neck piece (Sonata #3) . The "distorted" section is improvised and played with a pick. I recorded the Octet and Orchestral Piece #1 using a computer and samplers. String Quartet #3 and Orchestral Piece #2 are virtual performances courtesy of the Sibelius notation program. The results are "reasonable facsimiles" of the scores. Please excuse the machines and my sloppy sequencing. But it's better than nothing. Many thanks for listening. |
