This is an excerpt from a longer tune, but it shows off my Harmonic Capo and some of what it can do. For example, every 3rd and 4th notes in the opening passage are open-string harmonics. The tuning is CGdgde, with the Hamonic Capo applied on the "lowercase" strings.

This is the closest I ever came to a "Celtic" composition. It started off as an experiment with counterpoint, but something tribal seems to have taken over. The tuning is DADGDE and I don't use my Harmonic Capo on this one.

Solo acoustic fun! If you look closely, you can see my Harmonic Capo strapped to the neck at the 12th fret. The tuning is AAdeae. The Harmonic Capo produces open-string harmonics on the "lowercase" strings. Listen for the harmonic "eae" chord that keeps popping up like a jumping frog!

Back in 1989, I sent a cassette tape of my music to my hero, Michael Hedges. I didn't expect to hear from him, but he called me and we met two weeks later. I only got to meet him once, but we spent over an hour playing for each other and trading our technical tricks. IDIBITS was the first tune I composed after that meeting and it is dedicated to Michael. The tuning is fairly radical, AadEaE.
(My Harmonic Capo is applied on the "lowercase" strings.) |

This tune reminded me of a brief rainstorm, starting and ending with a few drops, but with a downpour inbetween. Fans of minimalism will recognize the Steve Reich and Philip Glass influences. The tuning is CGdgde, with my Harmonic Capo applied to the "dgde" strings. The piece looks simple, but the rhythyms can be very tricky.
