I have stuff FOR YOU

Richard_Thomas_John-Boy_Walton_1973I have a mailing list.

On that list I share great stuff that you won’t find anywhere else. I release new material every week.

And I do exclusive offers just for my subscribers.

It’s like a little family.

It’s like the Waltons.

But with awesome chords and diminished licks :)

So, if you get an email from me in the next few days, it’s because I’m encouraging you to join my subscribers and to get my material that I create just for you.

If you didn’t get an email, but would like to receive material on jazz fusion improvisation with extra stuff about bees and stuff, then sign up here.

Inner Noise now on Bandcamp

A long time ago:

In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned.
Heaven sought order.
But the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
The four worlds formed again and yet again,
As endless aeons wheeled and passed.
Time and the pure essences of Heaven,
the moisture of the Earth,
the powers of the sun and the moon
All worked upon a certain rock, old as creation.
And it became magically fertile.
That first egg was named “Thought”.
Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said,
“With our thoughts, we make the world.”
Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch.
From it then came a stone monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!

And just after that Asaf Sirkis formed The Inner Noise.

And today 2014-10-19 18.05.37 Asaf has put all these albums on Bandcamp.

Here they are:

Enjoy!

Snow Giants

So, when do you rehearse?

Umm, pass.

What sort of music is it?

Who goes first decides that.

Do you take requests?

Just one…

What is it?

‘Play something we don’t know’

And what are you called?

We are called Snow Giants.

Can I see some Snowness?

Can I hear some Giantness?

Why not…

Rip it up

Hey, hey, hey…

You may have realised I started a lessons kind of site. Have a look – electriccampfire.com

I’ve been thinking. And thinking. And thinking.

And I decided to move all the lessony/notebook stuff from here to that domain and keep this domain for me, my music and blogging more about making music. I’ll be doing that this week.

That’s because I want to make more music. And writing about it helps me do that. Expect that here.

Over there is where you’ll find all that guitar/improv whatever it was stuff. And I’ll be doing those posts EVERY SINGLE DAY when I say GO. Expect that, ooh, soon? No, how about March? You suggest a date and I’ll go with that.

As well as those notebook every day things, electriccampfire.com has a SPECIAL [shhhh] MEMBERS ONLY super secret section.

Don’t tell ANYONE about it.

It’s where I, and all the special people who subscribe, go BANANAS on topics. At the moment we’re working on developing a short practice routine. There are many videos, lots of words, LOTS of chat. And it’s growing. It’s outta control…

It’s this sort of vibe:

But with a small white guitarist from Cadishead.

Sound good?

Tell me if you want this.
