Welcome to the Listening Room — a space to soak in the sounds of Guitar Dharma. Explore by album, playlist, or special track.
Each piece here was composed from the heart — no music theory, no trying to sound like somebody else, no trying to shoehorn in some cool technique. Just listening for the next notes that wanted to appear, and following them. Every guitar track was recorded when the mind was clear and the body was settled through Qigong practice.
I warmly invite you to tune into yourself, tune into the music, and tune into the deep heart-resonance of it. Maybe you’ll hear for yourself how these pieces are shaped by stillness and inspired by nature.
🎧Best experienced with earbuds and an open heart. ♡
Albums
Offerings: Guitar Meditations Quiet, spacious pieces shaped by stillness, gentle attention, and an open heart, offering a soft, intimate atmosphere that settles the mind and acts like a balm to the soul. 🎵 Listen
Elegant Tern More compositionally complex — flowing lines, richer harmonies, a refined, nuanced solo guitar voice with greater depth, exploring mood, movement, and melodic detail. 🎵 Listen
The Redwood Sidthe Debut album — compositionally simpler, spacious, direct, intimate. Strong Celtic and folk notes; an early snapshot of my young guitar voice – honest and unadorned. 🎵 Listen
Meadow Run My most texturally rich music — a mix of lively, light pieces alongside slower, reflective ones. Sunny, warm, and ideal for Sunday brunch or background listening. 🎵 Listen
Single
Flowing instrumental fingerstyle guitar — light, lively, and uplifting, yet intimate and soothing. Salmon Creek Run reflects the fluid movement, quiet strength, and graceful beauty of the salmon’s return to home waters.
For anyone finding their way home, not just the salmon!

Special Tracks
Om Hreem — Guitar and voice — my take on a Hindu chant. A true field recording — an inexpensive classical guitar, an open heart, and the crickets of the Indian night. (Definitely use earbuds for this one.)
Mettā-sutta —Voice (no guitar) — chanting(in Pāli) of the Discourse on Loving-Kindness. From the Sutta Nipāta, 1.8.
