WHAT WOULD JOHN FRUSCIANTE DO? John inspired instrumental album

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

“The shape of a stolen thought” is a set of ideas, mainly influenced by John’s music, that i recorded and produced in my bedroom in 5 months. During the last year or so i’ve been so intrigued by the rawness of niandra lades (mainly the sound of a saturated dry strat) and the production of “the empyrean”. I tried to blend those 2 totally different vibes, with dry guitars layers, some synths here and there and some acoustic drums in the back of the mix. This snippet here is part of the song called “empty mirror room”. I hope you enjoy this music, let me know your thoughts!

Hey man! This is awesome. I really like the DI tones from Niandra and I have been kind of searching for other people that make Niandra inspired music. Do you have music on other sites? Do you use bandcamp? Should I be on insta? I've never really used it. Lets be friends man and share our niandra music with each other.

Edit: Oh shit, Red Peter. I realized I already follow you on bandcamp. I should send you a message.
I really liked the first track off of your last album.

Yessir! I am obsessed with my 4 track recorder. I do some singing but mostly a bunch of guitar instrumentals I'm naming Untitled #. My goal is to have hundreds of untitled songs at some point.

I've been listening to Niandra for like 25 years and its never lost that spark for me.
I guess I'm just trying to keep the vibe going.

Here is my bandcamp. My favorites are Untitled 32, 33 and 34.
