I just bought an Olympus digital voice recorder (WS-822) for some research interviews that I’ll be conducting and I thought I would also see how it does recording guitar and voice. I turned the recorder on and set it front of me, with the crackle of the fireplace the only noise in the room. “What should I play?” I thought…and then I began to strum.

What came out was a song named “Morning Star.” I hope to release it on my next, next album (after the ambient electronic album that is poised for release this fall).

Give it a listen. I’d love to hear what you think of it.
