Home Abroad (Slide Guitar, Low Reverb Mix)

Here is a remix of “Home Abroad,” a slide guitar song which was recorded as part of my Awake Again album project.  While revisiting that project and remixing the album (a playlist of the full album is also available on the ‘music’ page), I had two different ideas for how I wanted to approach the mix for this song – basically a ‘wet’ mix which is featured on the remixed album, and a more ‘dry mix’ with a little less reverb that I decided to release here as a bonus track of sorts.  Though the wet mix was a better fit for the album, I also like the directness of the dry mix.  

Plaid Blues (Acoustic Blues Improv)

This little improv bit, dubbed Plaid Blues, was recorded between takes of another song I was working on and needed a break from.  Sometimes it’s good to switch gears while recording (especially when recording at home) and work on another song or just do some improvisation and see what comes out.  You may not always get a polished result, but you can return to working again on whatever it is you took a break from with a refreshed feeling.
