...Something a wee bit left field...

This is a piece I improvised and developed. Not sure of a genre, Embellished Improvisation™© ?

I'm using a Pedal Steel patch I created for my Line 6 HX Stomp XL, in this version I'm using a Strymon Blue Sky reverb linked in on a effects loop in the Stomp. I subsequently developed a patch which substitutes a Helix reverb for the Strymon Blue Sky which will work with any Helix based hardware or the Helix Native plugin, it's downloadable from here should anyone want to try it,

Usually I would produce my own videos, unfortunately due to a recent debilitating illness I'm struggling,
so I found some very cool graphic/video content produced by a guy who goes under the alias of Monk Vadim. His work is on an open license and he only requires acknowledgement if his work is used, he also accepts donations. I used a couple of his videos and did a bit of tweaking to get them to work with my music. His work can be viewed here,

Anyway, enough blather from me, hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Larry. Very glad you enjoyed it, it was a labour of love. It was mainly improvised and then tweaked a bit to clean it up.

Unfortunately after chemo the past few years I have been left with peripheral neuropathy, so having to play more relaxed and a bit slower than I used to.

Still enjoy playing though, I couldn't play at all for a couple of years due to cancer damage, it's great to be able to play again.
