This is an assemblage of pieces composed (and re-composed) over a 13-year period, having a meditative quality in common. The first uses a D suspended-fourth tuning. The second brings the phrygian mode to Bossa Nova; titled Samba of Two Children, it originally had words in which neighborhood children are asking me to take them special places. Late afternoon shafts of light descend from the clouds for Jacob's Dream: "in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descend-ing on it." (Genesis, 28:12) The synthesizer accompaniment could be described as "an ostinato over a ground" and is intended to induce a hypnotic state. A CD of the synthesizer accompaniment (enclosed in back pocket in the printed version or an MP3 file in download version) is required to perform this movement. The long reverberation in Sunset Reverie implies the vast space between the viewer and the sun as it sets on the ocean horizon. Guitarists wishing to perform this work may contact the composer for specific data on the effects settings. An alternative would be to buy the CD and emulate what you hear. The composer performs this work using a Hard Disk Recorder to provide both the accompaniment and the live guitar effects.
