Gymnopedie #1 -- Erik Satie
Allemande, Lute Suite #1 in Em -- Bach
Various bits and pieces of the Villa Lobos guitar works

The point for me to play a classical or jazz tune in a looping context 
is to deconstruct that familiar sound into the new and unfamiliar.

Usually I improvise, or play original compositions. I've also written 
part of an orchestral piece -- sadly unperformed :-( -- that imitates a 
long delay line with the string sections cut into 8 or so pieces each.
