MUSIC: Some new drones & tones by Eric

Posted inMusic, Works by Eric
Last week I wrapped up my latest collection of guitar soundscapes, tones and drones. Part of my m2 project, these are long instrumental pieces made up entirely of droning guitar sounds. Sometimes they're soothing, sometimes they're abrasive. It's not for everyone. I'll be adding it to my music archive blog soon, but for those who enjoy this sort of thing you can give these swirls of sound a listen here. Thanks for listening. m2 The Endless Twelve 1) Sunday Bliss Can't Lift, Can Only Pretend (7:05) 2) Falling Back Into It (10:38) 3) Etched On Me Is A Waiting Demon…

And X-Sweet tends to be my more traditional musical project, what with me singing reg'lar ol' songs and all that. I'm not claiming it's good, as you can see…

... but will soon be doing it anyway. I mentioned previously that when my PC died my music ground to a halt with it. I kind of need to do music, though. It's a creative outlet I can't do without, especially since writing is as much work as it is fun. New PC is now up and running ... and that means a new X-Sweet album is coming at some point in the near future. This time, though, I'm taking my time. I have a habit of rushing through this stuff, settling for good enough, and tossing it out the…

A while back I posted about an old music collaboration with my buddy Tim. Now here's more from Tim. And it's great. Tim is neck deep in a fantastic music project right now, and it's pretty damn amazing. The best stuff he's ever done, actually, and he's done a LOT of music over the years. It's called Bok, it's catchy and dynamic and dancy and trippy and more, you can find the website over here, and you really should go download some of those in-progress tunes. Follow Bok on Facebook, too, while you're at it. It's good stuff and I'm…
