Two short saz improvisations. Trying to get a feel for playing and recording it, ideally while holding it in a manner not ruinous to my neck.

Nice spooky atmosphere on track 1.
Saz1 has a lovely bluesy vibe.
Saz2 gets the organic folk thing flowing quite well.
Enjoyed 'em all, thanks!

Beautiful work on the saz, what a great sound it has.
And Notfolk - That's what I'm talking about !!
Composition develops nicely, shifts neatly, it's an excellent piece. Sounds and audio quality are first-rate to my ears.
Thanks for the good vibrations.
Best,

sazbits - This instrument sounds like a cross between a guitar and sitar. Both pieces sound like something that Ry Cooder might play.
NotFolk - A lovely soundscape that I got a very strong SF feeling from. Maybe OST soundtrack for an abandoned spaceship scene. Decidedly creepy.
Good work

All quality stuff. Notfolk is suitably disturbing, and extremely haunting.
I would love to see your Saz work going through some distortion too. It has to!
D.H. Miltz - Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:40 am
Thanks very much, everyone.
tehlord, I think you're right about the saz and distortion. I'll have to play around with that.

"Notfolk" = scary. (in a good way!) Great sound you achieved here.
SAZ? I'm not sure what instrument that is. I'll have to google it in order to educate myself. Your tracks sound great!

Did you ever hear David Torn with his electric oud? That was interesting.

I never did, but I'm looking into it now. Looks to be someone worth checking out. Thanks. cron - Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:20 am
Saz improvs are very pretty. Lovely instrument that.
Notfolk is ace. Initially sounds like a brass band having a nervous breakdown due to the impending arrival of the FFT demons who then have a party upon their arrival at 0:50.

Thanks, cron. I owe my acquaintance with Mammut to you, so thanks for that as well.

this instrument opens up a whole 'nother world for you.
the contrast between the treament on notfolk (agreed that it's very 'sci-fi-ish') and the two other bits is astonishing. (edit: the two 'standard bits' sound like 'appalachia meets india'... ymmv)
saz for the win!

Thanks, mrblitz.
