08 Missing Pieces
Dan Nettles: Guitar while at the beach
Unknown song by Carl Lindberg starts and ends.
Other voices all by Julián Muro recorded January 2018 in “Hut 26&” at the Banff Centre.
Composition and recording:
Sometimes it’s hard to say where a song comes from… who knows? I would say I was listening to several Neil Young records a lot around this time, and thinking about sitar music, and simple melodies on one string, and triads over a pedal, and wondering how the hell to keep losing people and go on. The A section chordal vamp arrived first… E- triad into an A triad. Very simple, but where it is placed on the guitar gave it a very rich sound. The B section arrives t the D tonic, but with a nice movement thru F major to give it a little rub. Once the AAB structure was in place, I sang over it and to find a simple melody, something that I imagine any person could sing. To finish I wrote a contrary motion counterline thru the melody.
The band recorded several awesome versions, but I settled on an usual demo version that I created with my friend Julián Muro while in residency at the Banff Centre (My thanks to the Yolandane Freeze Artists in Music Fund). We layered his vocal in several times on both the melody and counterline, and much later, while we were adding strings to the songs I had them also double the parts. The guitar part I recorded myself while at the beach.
The vocal part by Carl Lindberg is a voice recording off of my phone from an unknown place and time which surfaced when I was developing this song. Since it works around the same key center, we began performing the song live with a cassette playing Carl’s vocal, and I recreated that effect here for this record.

The melodies are haunting, the grooves are devastating, and for nearly two decades the band expertly serves jazz purists,
indie-rock hipsters, and funk loving jam fans alike.
