duo sessions

For many years, drummer/percussionist extrodanaire Mark Albosta and I would get together almost weekely at his small studio in the sierra foothills for a creative improvisational collaboration, incorporating acoustic guitar (with the addition of a loop pedal) and electronic/acoustic drums/percussion. Our sessions were completely live (no overdubs) and for the most part pure improvisation - we would just start the "tape" rolling and begin playing. While 99% of what we played in these sessions was unplanned and spontaneous, we eventually developed a few "anchor" pieces that we incorporated periodically into the sessions when the mood hit.

Many of these sessions are available for streaming or mp3 download (right click and save as) below (no commercial use please) - completely uncut and raw, blemishes and all.
