Unplugged
The
following tracks were recorded as rough drafts of musical
ideas. I hope to find the time to go back and re-record
these songs with longer and more elaborate arrangements
but until then, please enjoy these rough versions.
Recorded and mixed down on a Boss BR-532 4-track digital
ministudio recorder.

The
first half of this tune is a tribute to Ennio Morricone,
whose film music set the mood for director Sergio Leone's
spaghetti westerns of the 1960s. The second half pays respect
to the furious 1970s-era fusion sound of guitarist Al DiMeola.
Composed, arranged, performed, and engineered by Lars Kongshem.
