Peasants’ Muster is an album of instrumental acoustic guitar pieces. The music was recorded in Seattle Wa. in the fall and spring of 08 / 09. This is a concept album that tells the story of a peasant revolt. The event that was most in my mind while working on this music was the peasant revolt of 1381 led by Wat Tyler, hence the image on the cover. Peasants’ Muster was recorded simply in my home studio on my mac mini using garageband. I used two guitars for the recording, a steel and nylon string. While there are multiple guitar tracks the general approach was straight forward and simple. Most songs contain three to five guitar tracks. Where five tracks were employed it was generally to add a little color or to fatten up the mix a bit. All the guitar parts were played through, there is no cutting or splicing. In addition to the guitars the percussion on Peasants’ Muster was played on various household items. This album was a pleasure to record and I am personally quite pleased with the results. Thank you for taking the time to listen and I hope you enjoy the music.
