Been thinking a lot about contact point (where on the guitar the pick hits the strings) and mixing up articulation when I practice so I always have full access to my full palette of colors. Starting in July I’m accepting a few new students again, so please tell your friends! • • • • • • #nycmusic #brooklynmusic #musicteacher #guitarsolo #newalbum #composition #avantgardemusic #experimentalmusic #experimentalblues #guitar #microtonalguitar #guitarteacher #improvisedmusic #nycnoise #microtonal #music #fender #electricguitar #coltranechanges #contemporaryclassical #modernclassical #newmusic #guitarist #music #musician

A great week of music ahead! This Friday 6/21 9:00pm SHARP at shapeshifter lab @phillipgolub ’s quintet is putting out our new record, which I am very excited to share with you- it’s some of the most important music to me I’ve gotten to play. More happenings: Fire Lapping at the Creek is 2 months old!! check it via link in bio 🏞️ Attached is a clip from a new project with @avg.music and @sourkiff that explores Just Intonation. Keep an eye out for our first gig this fall 🍁 On that note, I’m about halfway through a Just Intonation ear training book, the first of its kind. It will include exercises through 13 limit JI (maybe beyond 😉), sections on acoustics and psychoacoustics, analyses, and more. @joshua_mastel and I are premiering a new work in the fall for double manual 31edo harpsichord, guitar, violin, and cello feat. Austin Wulliman at Columbia’s Sacred Music series. I’m writing a new duo for @irene.cello and myself that we’ll premier at the arts letters and numbers festival this August! and to top it off my next record is in the can, can’t wait to share more news on that in the coming months!

Face for the algorithm! Fire Lapping at the Creek has been out for 1 month and it’s been amazing seeing it take on a life of its own and getting to spread my gospel about the history of the blues. Also pictured is a record I’m very excited to share- @phillipgolub ‘s Abiding Memory, some of my favorite music I’ve gotten to play. More on that soon! You can pick up CD’s for both on bandcamp- link in my bio 🏞️ @davidleonsmusic @infrequent_seams @stevencrammer @chris_tordini @zekkereyaa @xavier_con_mole • • • • • • #nycmusic #brooklynmusic #blues #guitarsolo #newalbum #composition #avantgardemusic #experimentalmusic #experimentalblues #guitar #microtonalguitar #deltablues #improvisedmusic #nycnoise #microtonal #music #fender #electricguitar #telecaster #contemporaryclassical #modernclassical #newmusic #guitarist #music #musician

29 today 🎂It was an amazing year- was blessed play music all over the US, Asia, Europe, and North Africa with so many amazing people. Capped it off with Fire Lapping at the Creek 🏞️ Looking forward to so much this year and as Braxton says- thank the creator of the universe for the mystery that is music 🙏🏼

There are two trio tracks on 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙠, performed alongside by the great @chris_tordini and @stevencrammer . On this one I was thinking about the evolution that took place from Muddy Waters’ first Plantation Recordings to his full electric bands in the 70’s and early 80’s, mixed in with some farther flung parts of the narrative too, like a conjectural musical culture surrounding Malik Ambar, the 17th century African man who became the Peshwa of Maharastra, India.

The blues is full of the mystical and the hidden. Bluesmen hid magical objects like rattlesnake rattlers in their guitars, which would augment the supernatural sounds of their strings with the sympathetic resonance of the snake. The devil appeared as a snake to Eve, and to Robert Johnson. In Fire Lapping at the Creek we hear these resonances from a distant time and place, from this deepest wellspring of American music making. Across 10 tracks, the sextet breaks apart the strands at the heart of the blues and alchemizes them into something mystical. OUT NOW on @infrequent_seams
