Just an idea if you haven't tried it already :)]]> Slide and Alternate tunings DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/so-steinar/paged/2/#post-215914 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/so-steinar/paged/2/#post-215390 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 04:22:10 +0000
I would literally go anywhere to see Steinar and Sugino Nob on the same bill... Oh, thanks! I'm always looking for some 'cinematic' feel in the music I make, I hope I can get the opportunity to make music for a movie sometimes. Closest I've come so far was a six-episode TV series (a documentary), and that was a great job to do.

Sugino sent me a very cool DVD a while back, a live TV show of him and a Japanese singer/songwriter. His playing was great on it, going from very atmospheric 'soundscapes' to gritty overdriven stuff. No band, just him and the other guy on vocals and acoustic guitar.

Personally I don't have any concrete plans of putting a band together at the moment, I did a job this summer that was supposed to be the 'debut' of a band (sort of) and it was a slap in the face because one of the guys I'd hired hadn't prepared properly, even after having the CD for over 3 months. So that kinda put me off...
I'm also not very comfortable with being a frontman, I'm much happier as a sideman for others, preferably good singer/songwriters. I jokingly refer to myself as "a David Lindley still looking for my Jackson Browne", if you know what I mean. :lol:
Another thing is that it's hard to find places to play the kind of music I do since it doesn't really fit into any specific category - it's too 'gentle' for the rock clubs, too 'artsy' for the blues clubs, too noisy and 'rock and roll' for the jazz and 'arts' clubs... you get the idea...

I have started working (very slowly) on new material, and it will probably be a lot more acoustic than this one,- but hopefully also more adventurous, musically... We'll see... Don't expect anything until at least a year from now, I work very slow (unless it's an assignment and I have a deadline), don't want to rush anything.

finally, I hope, have my new computer up and running. this will be the 3rd one in a month and a half; lots of crashes.
hopefully, Dell has fixed it.
Ive been anxious to share my experiences, use the Powertab that rparker sent me, upload samples of my playing and contribute here in a more meaningful way.

actually I may have lots of time. something strange is going on at work. Im all angst ridden tonight as I may be losing my job. hopefully it is merely an incorrect read about my boss. nothing I can do about it tonight so I'll play my guitar!


well, my computer had more problems. learned that AOL that I dont use caused problems. we removed it.
he boss isnt at work today, so I guess I still have my job.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/so-steinar/paged/2/#post-205792 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/so-steinar/paged/2/#post-205326 Tue, 24 Oct 2006 12:22:34 +0000 When the right mood and circumstances come along, which inevitably happens and you find this music you'll be blessed to have it. It greatly enhanced a very meaningful (mostly non music) project that I'll be working on for some time to come. The music is a creative mood enhancer of a higher order and was virtually priceless to me. I can only repay Steinar by doing some beautiful and meaningful work on this project because it is worth alot more than the cost of the CD.

I haven't even gotten into the song 'Poet on the Radio' yet. That is some awesome work.

I don't even have the whole CD yet, won't be able to get it until after the 1st.

I have met alot of inspiring people on these groups and heard some great music from them. Steinars music is right up in the top row.

He might be interested to know that he beat out Sonny Landreth's Grant Street by a considerable margin for most important CD for me to buy, and I can count the number of CDs I buy in a year on one hand, so they have to be really good.


I hope that someday, in some way, I can make a contribution of this level.

Thanks to everybody, really,

I'll take every opportunity to tout this work. it really is unlike anything Ive heard, yet it speaks or nods to all my favorite genres of music.
truly a brilliant work.
I am thrilled that Steinar is a regular poster on this forum and others.
a generous and talented man.

thumbs up dude.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/so-steinar/#post-205199 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/so-steinar/#post-205189 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:41:41 +0000
This is some Beautiful work you have done. I want to write more about it sometime soon, in another topic dealing specifically with the CD.

I listened to a couple of those songs over and over again the other night, (all night long actually), and the music fit the mood (sadness, pensive, spiritual) and circumstances so incredibly well I realized what a great work this is. I'll mention that in another post later on.

The songs were, God Only Knows, (I listened to most of the night) and it was without mind to the lyrics of the original song, just purely for the beautiful instrumental, and Northern Lights,

Without explaining the circumstances right now, (it's 6:39 am and I have been up all night so I can't write it well enough) I'll just copy some word definitions from the web that discribe it:

1. Deeply, often wistfully or dreamily thoughtful.
2. Suggestive or expressive of melancholy thoughtfulness.


pensive·ness n.
Synonyms: pensive, contemplative, reflective, meditative, thoughtful

These adjectives mean characterized by or disposed to thought, especially serious or deep thought. Pensive often connotes a wistful, dreamy, or sad quality: "while pensive poets painful vigils keep" Alexander Pope.

Contemplative implies slow directed consideration, often with conscious intent of achieving better understanding or spiritual or aesthetic enrichment

Reflective suggests careful analytical deliberation, as in reappraising past experience

Meditative implies earnest sustained thought

Thoughtful can refer to absorption in thought or to the habit of reflection and circumspection
--------------------

That's the best I can do right now, being tired.

It is a very rare occasion that I decide to buy a CD since I most often can't afford it, so it has to be really good and important in some way to have.

Yours is by far one of those and honestly, it is not because it is a very good CD and I happen to know you from the groups, (although those are good enough reasons), but all of that aside, my reason is beyond that, it is a very beautiful and very special work.


I'll write more on this later when I am not so tired and I can communicate better.

No need to reply to this one, you've got better stuff to do.

Phangeaux - if you downloaded "Northern Lights" from my website then it's probably not the full version (?). You can dl a full version from eFolk music (it's free, just need to enter an email address) here -

The CD is selling slowly, very slowly.......... ;)
