    Tonight, Monday October 19 from 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), I&amp;#39;ll perform the 328th #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday series. After a weekend of music-related travel, let&amp;#39;s see what the music wants to say from home. Chances are this will be #microtonal. https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

    This past weekend, I took part in a festival at a campground in western Michigan: the PRF Campout. This is my set of #ambient #guitar #improvisation, performed live by a rather picturesque lake. $0/name-your-price, exclusively on @subvertworld . https://www.subvert.fm/snwv/tracks/prf-campout-2026 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    Monday&amp;#39;s #microtonal #guitar #ambient #improv is now available on @subvertworld , @mirlo , and Bandcamp, for $0/name-your price. Timbres resemble flute and reed instruments. Harmonies are sometimes unfamiliar without being ominous. Get in and start vibrating: https://www.subvert.fm/snwv/music-at-a-distance-328

    Who else is up buying a bunch of messed up guitar necks at a steep discount?

    Happening right now: a Twitch raid train to celebrate the full moon: https://raidrunner.net/events/hunters-moon-train-2026 Tonight, from 7-8 PM EDT (UTC-4), I&amp;#39;ll contribute an #ambient #guitar #improvisation at https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic . What&amp;#39;ll I do? Not sure, but it may be #microtonal. Let&amp;#39;s find out.

    This week&amp;#39;s composition is a short piece (under three minutes) for three guitars. 3/4, but it ends up sounding a bit western. I&amp;#39;m allowing myself to overload the UA Volt a bit more here, too. Kind of catchy, and the lead playing has a bit of an edge to it. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/wolf-rapids #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic #weeklyBeats

    Also out tonight is my #ambient #microtonal #guitar #improv performance from just a few hours ago. One hour of just intonation ambience, with a few string-striking artifacts. There&amp;#39;s a kind of reed-organ quality to this one, with some clearly-non-12TET harmonies. $0/name-your-price exclusively at @subvertworld https://www.subvert.fm/snwv/tracks/hunters-moon-october-25-2026 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic #gsg #moon

    Tonight, Monday October 26 from 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), I&amp;#39;ll perform my 329th #ambient #guitar #improvisation #livestream of the Monday series. I did an hour-long performance last night, so let&amp;#39;s see where this one takes us. It could be #microtonal, or could be on #pedalSteel. Let&amp;#39;s find out. https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

    Yesterday&#39;s #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream is now up, featuring one of my more absurdly shaped guitars, an old fuzz, and lots of gently interfering harmonics. It&#39;s oddly engaging. $0/name-your-price on @subvertworld@mastodon.social : https://www.subvert.fm/snwv/music-at-a-distance-324 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    This week&#39;s composition went live last night; it&#39;s an expression of the joy of playing rhythm #guitar. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/deepdale #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    This week’s composition moves through different rhythmic schemes and tempi, tracing to maintain a rhythmic relationship while ignoring the click. The vibe is loose; the road leads ahead. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/atimbia #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    Monday night&amp;#39;s #slow #ambient #pedalSteel #soundBath performance is now available. Reed and vocal timbres, space, reverb, #microtones. $0/name-your-price at Subvert: https://www.subvert.fm/snwv/music-at-a-distance-307 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    This week&amp;#39;s composition, kind of a grab-bag of time signatures on an alternatively tuned cheap guitar. There&amp;#39;s kind of a cubist insistence to this. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/curlew #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic #WeeklyBeats

    Tonight, Monday May 18 from 8-9:30 EDT (UTC-4), I&amp;#39;ll perform the 308th #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday series. Tonight, my guiding thoughts are about #texture and #variation. Let&amp;#39;s hear what happens. https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

    This week&amp;#39;s #ambient #guitar #improv is now up, sounding like an expanded chamber ensemble passing lines seamlessly between and wind instruments. There&amp;#39;s a slow but constant development. $0/name-your-price. Available on mirlo: https://mirlo.space/snwv/release/music-at-a-distance-308

    This week&amp;#39;s composition is where I let myself out of the four-minute limit of the last few years. I&amp;#39;m also letting myself overload the A/D input. The overall vibe is *determined.* https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/early-winters-spires #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic #guitar

    Does anyone in #Pittsburgh have a Thunderbolt 2 cable I could borrow for a few days? I&amp;#39;m experimenting with putting Linux on an old MacBook Air, but need to do a backup first. Apparently I no longer have a Thunderbolt 2 cable (though I wonder if typing this out will cause one to manifest).

    Monday&amp;#39;s #ambient #improv on a $60 #guitar is now up. This one turned out particularly beautiful. It sounds a bit like singing bowl, reed, and brass instruments in a large, reverberant space. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-305 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    This Monday&amp;#39;s #ambient #guitar #improv is up, with sounds of breath, reeds, brass, and singing bowls emanating from a $60 guitar. Lots of vibration in the upper partials, though this one&amp;#39;s calm. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-302 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    This week&amp;#39;s composition sticks with the three-tracks-of-one-guitar approach: a $60 Univox Coily in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning. Alternating calm sections with propulsive sections, kind of get-yourself-centered music. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/blue-mountain Why so much just-one-guitar? I like the idea of making music with limited instruments and means. It&amp;#39;s economical--people don&amp;#39;t need that much to express themselves. It&amp;#39;s a more human scale, I think. #ori...

    Tonight, Monday April 13 from 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4), will be my 303rd #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday series. Should this one be an entire octave down? Maybe. Let&amp;#39;s find out at https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

    This week&amp;#39;s #ambient #guitar #improv comes with the sound of the breath, though it&amp;#39;s all strings (on my first kit-built guitar). A slow, patient procession through familiar and unfamiliar territory. Let&amp;#39;s get slow. $0/name-your-price. https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-303 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    This week&amp;#39;s composition, three lines of #guitar, once again in 6/4. There&amp;#39;s a bit of a roll to this one that I like. Still manifesting a kind of vibe. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/vermilion #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    Monday&amp;#39;s harmonically-rich #ambient #guitar #improv is now up on Bandcamp. The timbres are a bit more nebulous now, maybe a bit of distant brass or singing bowls, and the tempos seem slower. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-304 #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic

    An old #guitar in a new tuning. (I should do some fret leveling and dressing, and clamp down that rattling pick guard,) F#m7 tuning is an interesting experiment; not sure how long it&amp;#39;ll last on this guitar, though. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/prominent-spider #originalMusicTracks #originalMusic
