The Color of Sound

The Color of Sound is Gene O'Neill's

second solo guitar CD. Gene provides all

of the musical backing via multi-track overdub.

All of the tracks are made up of the guitar

playing it's own bass parts while doing the

melody. The overdubs are for extra color.

   guitar, sax and bells

     A gentle beginning for the journey.

 

2. "More Than a Dream"    G.O'Neill   6:08

    guitar, fluglehorn,trombone and

    light percussion.

      A glass of wine and a dear friend.

     guitar,synth pad and light brass

       Gene trys to paint with sound, the

       sweet smile of Emily's sister, Izzy.

 

4. "Swing Low"   Traditional    6:09

      7 string guitar and flugle horn

          A lovely song that pairs the

         guitar and flugle horn. Not very

         low. Lots of swing.

 

5. "Strange Mood"   G.O'Neill   2:49

      guitar, tuba, percussion and assorted

      keyboard sounds.

          I played the guitar track off the

          top of my head and added the

          other tracks months later.

 

6. "Scarborough Fair"   Traditional   6:16

      guitar, male chorus, flugle horn and

      assorted keyboard sounds.

          This is very much the version I

          do live, excluding the bells and

          whistles.

 

7. "Cat So Cool"   G.O'Neill     4:06

      guitar, synth bass, percussion,

      assorted keyboard sounds.

          This is my sonic rendition of a

          beloved black kitty named Ross.

          This is him walking.

 

8. "Yes, Indeed"   G.O'Neill   7:39

      guitar,keyboards, wind chimes,

      assorted percussion.

      Music for a sleepy, rainy day.

 

9. "Good Day"   G.O'Neill     3:17

      guitar, flugle horn, congas and

      brass backing.

          Music to dance around the

          house when something good

          has just happened. Yes!

 

10. "The Next Step"   G.O'Neill   4:31

       7 string guitar and electric guitars

           Somewhat rowdy upbeat blues.

 

11. "Camptown Races"  Stephen.Foster 5:56

        7 string guitar,electric guitar and

         percussion.

            What do you think?

 

12. "Georgia On My Mind" Carmichael  3:27

        guitar, trombone and percussion.

              Hoagy Carmicahel's beautiful

              song gets the Geno treatment.
