Though the different notes are limited here's another idea for a song on my RAV Vast A Integral. I still love this instrument :).

Craft 028: Another RAV Vast Idea

I just bought the "A Integral" Handpan from RAV Vast. I really love this instrument. Though there are limitations in the tone range it's really beautiful and well crafted instrument wich a rich and deep tone that a Smartphone mic can't really pic up. I've recorded an idea which is more about the chord movement than about a strong melody.  Tuning: A2 C3 E3 F3 G3 A3 B3 C4 E4

Craft 027: RAV Vast A Integral Handpan

Just tried some tunings and stopped with this one. At first I liked the second part of this snippet but then again, kinda boring and nothing special about it. So will probably discard it. Tuning: C# G# C# F G# D#

Craft 026: Nothing special

Just got a ToneWoodAmp for Christmas. This really is an amazing gadget for acoustic guitars. It amplifies the sound and effects directly through the body of the guitar. This test recording with a delay coming just from my guitar. Tuning: E A D G B E with partial Capo on 3, 4, 5

Craft 025: ToneWoodAmp Delay

Originally I wanted to try out the Tuning E G D F# A C# by Erik Mongrain's song "Muse". While writing this post I just noticed that I instead tuned it to E G D F# A E and this idea came along.

Craft 024: Some Tapping and Slapping in a wrong tuning

I was browsing through some old ideas and found something from 2007. Back then I felt in love with "Low C" by Erick Turnbull . So the beginning is almost the same. I'd really like to continue working on this idea. Tuning: C G D D# A# D#

Craft 023: Picking up an old idea

I've tried out some things in the tuning of the song Fearless by Erik Mongrain. I kinda like the drive of the chorus but I'll see if it could make it to a complete song. The chorus also reminds me a little bit of some existing song that I can't really remember. Tuning: D A B F# A E

Craft 022: Some fearless idea

I applied for a music university place back in 2007 and this was one of three demo tracks I've used for it. It is based on a Don Ross song called "Lucy Watusi" and the song "Passerby" by Dispatch. Tuning: D A C F C D

Craft 021: Don Ross tuning as university application

I browsed through some old recordings and found this tune from 2007. I just bought a Schlagwerk Cajon in that year and did a test recording along a short Guitar jam with a chorus effect on it. I can't remember the tuning that I've used.

Craft 020: Just for the purpose of a Cajon track

Still don't get Antoine Dufour's Air Ground out of my head so I just tuned to this tuning and tried to come up with some new ideas. One of them is here to hear. Tuning: Eb Bb C G Bb D

Craft 019: Yet another tuning *yawn*

In preparation for an upcoming gig (where I play some ambient piano music) I try to play more piano in the next few weeks.

Craft 018: Piano Improvisation I

The last three crafts were in the same tuning and these might shape up to a complete song. I think I drop craft 016 though ;). The idea for the chorus came after watching Antoine Dufour's song Air Ground. One of my favorite fingerstyle tunes at the moment. Tuning: C G D# G C D#

Craft 017: Finally a companion to Craft 015

Same tuning as yesterday. Still missing a melody but could be a grooving bridge. The recording was so short I just looped the whole thing twice ;). Tuning: C G D# G C D#

Craft 016: Too short to upload

At the moment not much variety in this idea and the melody isn't really strong. But I really like the flow ;). Tuning: C G D# G C D#

Craft 015: Mellow Tuning but Happy Song?

Just coughed up the Tuning C G D G A D from a Jon Gomm Tweet. So I tried it out and came up with a first little idea. Tuning: C G D G A D
