Simon Littlefield: Recent Episodes
Simon Littlefield
After researching way-out pedals for my electric I realised what I really need is to just play the fucking guitar...
So here's a jazzy improvisation in a dreamy mode on acoustic
Featuring Billy Martin on drums, this is a test for the forthcoming St Fu album, A Big Noise In Free Jazz, to be recorded live with John Pazdan on Zoom soon...
SL guitar and bass BM drums (Phate's Bounce and RocKette from illy B Eats Vol. 1: Groove, Bang And Jive Around)
"Wow! Like taking a walk around funky town. Achingly cool with a hint of utter bonkers. Love it, obvs" - Lucy
Latest demo: not mixed or mastered, but a good snapshot of the funk I heard in my head.
And who knew I had the funk? I've had it all week.
Another mashup featuring me versus the one and only Billy Martin and his 'Lucky Charm'.
Thrill, as I improvise three different guitar lines over his terrific beats!
Made with:
Squier Showmaster Mustang I v.2 Ableton Live Audacity Simon Littlefield - Guitars Billy Martin - Drums
Demo for St Fu's forthcoming album, Terry Riley's Broken Synth.

Working on a remix I took an all-pedals-blazing pass at it with my Tele. Then I remixed the guitar track live in Ableton. It was too much for the remix I was working on, but when I stuck the guitar track and the Live remix together I got this walk in the woods.
Another mashup using sampler CDs in order to get to grips with Ableton. But the samples are so great and work so well together that I had to post this. Great drumming from Ralph Peterson and fantastic sax (and philosophy!) from Sonny Simmons.
