Floating
Guy Ridley

Latest song, new mix: fixed a few phrases and extended the bass for a longer fadeout. Next: drums, more guitars, etc…

The House on the Hill (is On Fire)
Guy Ridley

Rough acoustic protest song from mid-’25, it’ll have to do until I finish the electric version…

Free
Guy Ridley

Another new one, just the guide guitar and temporary vocals (I’ll replace this with the real thing eventually…)

Brakes What Brakes

Here’s a generic holiday song from ‘24! It’s also on the Brakes What Brakes Bandcamp page.

Improvisations:

Noon Thirty
Guy Ridley

‘Approximations’ are about halfway between a piece and a free improvisation. This is one of those, from 2019.

Mikey's Tune
Guy Ridley

Another semi-improvisation from 2015. Mikey the cat liked to lie on the piano while I played.

Flight
Guy Ridley

Free Improvisation, 1989.

Here’s a old demo I found:

Bed Time
Guy Ridley

Bed Time, 1990. A genuine kid-tested lullaby! There’s a better version out there on piano.

Old piano compositions:

Charm 1/2
Guy Ridley

A short piece from 1980. There were a lot of those, some more precisely defined than others.

Getting One's Feet Wet
Guy Ridley

Another from around then.

Duet for Piano and Superball
Guy Ridley

One day in the way early 80s, while I was working on "Solo Piano in an Otherwise Quiet Room", the composer Dylan Champagne arrived, offering a series of improvised percussive enhancements that left me no choice but to change the title.

Mantra
Guy Ridley

1979. part exercise, part meditation.
