Re: What does it mean to you, to "release a record"?

Jeff, tEd, and Rick,

Thank you for your kind comments re: the pieces at 
http://www.myspace.com/lorenclaypool 
. I'll take "meaty" any day!

"Good Things, Good People" and "First Light" are from "One Feather  
Shy" while "Road Trip" and "Fight or Flight G4" are demos that didn't  
work for the album but I really wanted to share. The latter two are  
indeed guitar quartets written in New Standard Tuning. Composing in  
that ensemble format is a real treat and works a different musical  
muscle. I find it gratifying work. BTW, "Colchester Turning" on "One  
Feather Shy" was originally written as an NST acoustic quartet but  
morphed it's way into the form that is on the album.

And CGT is a real treat, brilliant musicians and wonderful people. For  
another Guitar Craft treat find an excuse to get to Seattle, if you're  
not already there, and see a performance of Tuning The Air (see 
http://tuningtheair.com/ 
  and http://www.myspace.com/tuningtheair ) - spectacular stuff.

All the best,
