Analogues of Infinity (2014)by Vic DillahayImprovising a bit of infinity.

“Love the near atonal feel to some of the guitar work, and strong melodies in other progressions. ”
Wayne Cox

I recorded this solo guitar album in a single one-hour take on February 14th, 2013. It has been edited for time and the pieces have been reordered. There are no overdubs—all of the loops and effects were done live using a variety of pedals.

The result is a sometimes brooding and sometimes hopeful collection of improvisations (and one folk song) that sound very much like the snowy day on which they were recorded.

I'm releasing the audio under a Creative Commons Attribution license, so if a piece tickles your ear feel free to rework it into something better.

Thanks for listening,

Vic Dillahay
