Clock With No Hands - Selected Recordings


I'll be releasing a lot of new music this year - but before I do so, I'll also be sharing some music that hasn't be on the internet for a long time.  Some of this material that I'll be re-releasing has sort of woven it's way into new music I've been making, while some has been more or less left behind.  Folks had been asking me about some of these records which weren't available anymore - So I wanted to share some of these things that I made (and am not ashamed of yet) for anyone who might want to hear them.  I'll post more things as I re-upload/re-release them.  

About 7 years ago I released a couple of records under the moniker Clock With No Hands - here’s some selections from those records:



This was a solo project I started right after I decided I wasn't going to pursue a career as a jazz guitarist - So a lot of this is basically doing the least jazz things I could think of...playing on a lot of acoustic instruments, lots of tremolo picking, and writing stuff that often sounded more like soundscapes rather than a song with a head and different sections.  It was also before I had anything that I wanted to write about - so it was was primarily non-programatic and a lot of these are more like musical portraits rather than musical stories.
