My favorite guitar is my broken Ibanez acoustic that I use and the only guitar I want because it sounds exactly how I want it to! I would quite like an Twin Neck Gibson like Mclaughlin used with the Mahavishnu Orchestra although since I did my back in its not really an option. I was looking at a headless Steinberger the other day, would be very cool for back pain friendly guitar playing. Would i look a prat playing it thou? (yes!)

A new EP, a new video and a message from the Dead
For the last few weeks I've been thinking about putting out an EP of some of the "non album tracks". Some of the ambient tracks, demos, remixes,live and lost tracks from the Ghost sessions - some from the Sunday Free Noodle and some not. What do you think? I will make it Pay What You Want(so no one has to pay if they don't want to) and any money from it is would used to fund the 3rd album.
Ghost has recouped but funding another one is still some way off, so this offers you the opportunity to be a patron of the arts and fund more odd esoteric guitar music :). If there any of the sunday free noodles you think should be on there please let me know. Mr Kevin Feazey is on board to master the project(if you need any mastering give him a shout hes awesome).
I asked team Twitter and they seemed quite keen on the idea.
This is the sort of thing I'm thinking of putting out - a video i mixed and made today using live looping and some stock creative commons footage from archive.org :
These sounds were produced by editing 4 concurrent live looping performances.

Listen!
Could it have something to do with the Fierce And The Dead?

What scares you the most?
Not being able to do what I want due to ill health or people close to me not being well. I never realized how important and wonderful good heath is until recently.

Sunday Free Noodle 25 is:
Big Sky - Matt Stevens Dementio 13 Remix
This is off my album Ghost remixed by Dementio 13 - i really like this remix - top work. I posted the stems the other week and I’m amazed at the quality of stuff made with it - I’ve heard three amazing remixes of this track this week already. I will post some more remixes of this in a few weeks.

About The Sunday Free Noodle
The Sunday Free Noodle project is a free MP3 ever week - remixes, collaborations, live stuff, spoken word stuff and other odd things - for the next year. 52 MP3’s (thats alot).

I hope you enjoy it.
This project has only really come about because i have injured my back and have had a chance to go through my hard drives whilst lying on the floor with the laptop on my chest. Odd how things happen.
I really it want to be a collaborative process. Let me know - if you are a remixer, cellist, vocalist, percussionist, film maker,trumpet player or visual artist or anything else let me know(although I draw the line at juggling) . Perhaps i could send you some stuff(loops and noodles) to add something to?

Post Ghost/1K/Remixes
So....
Ghost has been out for nearly 2 months, I'm really pleased with how its been rec'd and its had over 1000 downloads if you include all sites, plus torrents(which you can't measure). We've covered all the recording costs and are looking to fund the next album. The CD's are nearly sold out now, which is amazing. If you want one of the last few CD's you can get them here.
So thanks very much to everyone for listening and telling people. The success of the album is purely down to listeners telling their friends,podcasters and bloggers.
Pay what you want seems work if you have a supportive audience. Thank you, amazing.
A week ago I posted remix stems for the song Big Sky - this is the first remix I've had in from Dementio 13.

I really like it - here is the original version:
