Sketch 9 (Kraut OM BRW)
Hello everyone,
I haven't posted anything in a while -- but I have been working on a new original piece which features a progressive theme along with a few scale runs. I borrowed 3-4 chords from a previous improvisation I posted and added new parts around it. So here it is, in sketch form: https://soundcloud.com/syndicatedart...9-kraut-om-brw The recording is a first take and there's some improvisation and a few glitches here and there. A cleaner version with an appropriate title will be available on my upcoming album due for release in 201?...  I used the Kraut for this recording. I tried a bunch of other guitars but the Kraut sounded best for the melody I had in my head. As always, your feedback is welcome. Any (reasonable) suggestion for a title will also be considered... Thanks for listening!

An album? Excellent. Count me as a future customer (and current fan). I don't think I have anything meaningful or constructive to add other than that I really enjoyed it and that I am impressed by your playing and composition skill. I particularly liked the change around the 3:19 mark.
Beautiful piece, Mau.

Mau,
Very beautiful playing (as always) and the Kraut sounds wonderful in your hands. I'm never sure how to interpret solo finger style pieces since they are so personal to the composer but this seems to me to go from melancholy to hopeful. Very beautiful song. Willie

I'd call it 'Overcome', as in the struggles of daily life. To me, the song does'nt really describe 'a life', but maybe a 'day in someones life'. After hearing it and reading the other comments, "melancholy", is a good description. When closing my eyes and pairing it up to some of my days, it seems like I struggle through them, and the end of the day comes when I have to lay my head down on my pillow. The "problem" (and/or struggles) most likely hasn't necessarily subsided (or been resolved), but the ever present struggle to 'keep going' comes to mind while hearing this piece. Like the mentioned change at 3:21, thats like where I can lay my head down on my pillow to get rested up to start another day tomorrow, 'problems' and all. Well done, clean it up a little and put it out.
Thanks. Hope you have a great day. Kevin.

Hauntingly beautiful and moving composition Mau. Looking forward to hearing when it's fully formed.
I humbly offer "Wanderlust" as a title as the moving nature of the song brought that term to mind.

Very nice, well done, once again. What a beautiful sound you are able to make with 6 strings, Mau... I really enjoy listening to your stuff.
For a title, how about "The Missing Sock..." Just kidding!  I am the worst for coming up with names for instrumentals.- Glenn

Beautiful and very moving, Mau. As I wrote on SoundCloud, I wish I could "sketch" like that!

I've been neglecting my guitar playing lately and I think it shows on this recording. I really wanted to share this new piece though and I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

I actually had a French title in mind that is very close to what you suggested. I recently saw an old lady friend of mine who I had travelled with a few years ago -- and that's how this piece came about.

Sketching is my most productive way of writing music. I used to write everything down (classical style) but I find I tend to write more original material when I just let it flow. I'll rehearse the main parts and think of the overall structure before I hit "record" -- but otherwise everything is done on the fly.
