Thanks a lot, Jeffrey! I appreciate the kind words. I’m not sure if it’s ‘nice’ as I was going for something a bit more sinister. ;) ;D

I haven't listened to the Horror movie score yet John.

(As another who used the adjective nice 8) )It's well done and evocative.

Ah, well that makes sense. ;) Please do give this happy accident a listen.

Okay, so I started a Sound Cloud page and I uploaded that short guitar improvisation from 2003 for those that want to check it out. My next upload will be the 21 minute piece my dad and I wrote around 2001 titled Painless Objections.

http://soundcloud.com/isle-of-mirrors/unknown-guitar-improvisation
I really enjoyed 'Painless Objections (Parts 1 to 4)' John.
Initially I put it on whilst sorting out some work stuff but I then became increasingly gripped by it. I really like the section from about 18 minutes in until the end, where it picks up speed and becomes increasingly soulful and moving - a prerequisite for the music I like best. All credit to you and your Dad.
When is the CD coming out?  :)

Thank you very much, Jeffrey. This was recorded in 2001 and we’ve never played it since. I can’t even remember anything about with the exception of a few chordal sequences. :-[ I would love to do a full production of this work at some point with bass, drums, etc., but I don’t think it’ll happen as I’ve been rather busy with so many other pieces at the moment and trying my best to catch up on some classical music that I’ve neglected to listen to from years ago or new arrivals.

Well, I really enjoyed it and will listen to it again soon.

I hope that you and your dad get round to doing a 'full production' at some point.

Thanks. That would be great, but I don’t really foresee it happening in the future as we’ve been kind of busy with other pieces.
