This piece is based on some morphing textures on an electric guitar, a simple looped acoustic guitar motif, and viola. This is the longer version of what was originally a 40 seconds intro track Download the mp3 Photo by cayusa

The Tunnel

nobody@vox.com(Mulberry Harbour) — Sun, 24 May 2009 11:03:19 +0100

Absence

The Tinker
