"Living With Yourself" is a record that has been building in my mind for years now, and was recorded over a period of seven months in 2009. these songs were inspired by my family, the friends i've known the best throughout my life, and everything that has led me to where i am right now. musically as well, i feel like all my cdrs and cassettes thus far have led up to making this record. needless to say i'm very excited about this one!

Guitar Meditations vol. II / Language Barrier US Edition out now!

hey everyone! i have recently finished the production of the US edition of "Language Barrier" as well as the brand new "Guitar Meditations Vol. II" double disc. very excited about these!






Mark McGuire - "Language Barrier" cdr - US Edition - recorded fall 2009 in antwerp, belgium, these are songs about being out of your element, a stranger in a new town, and trying to navigate a world you're still trying to figure out. nervous alienated guitar solos trying to break through and live in harmony. as the world gets bigger i get smaller and smaller.

color covers in black plastic cases. edition of 73 copies. available through distros only.

track list:

1. uneasy street (9:58)

2. mind games (10:26)

3. ice land air (2:10)

4. language barrier (15:17)

Mark McGuire - "Guitar Meditations vol. II" 2xcdr - recorded at the same time and in the same place as "language barrier", these songs reflect the other side of the experience of the individuals journey. each disc contains an hour of relaxed moments and stretched out thoughts. the cover is a postcard of a cathedral that was down the street from where we were living, that we would see almost everyday. there is true inspiration in the architecture, and a lot of energy gained by being in such a beautiful part of the world. this is me channeling that energy into my guitar, or at least trying to!

color covers in thick black plastic cases. edition of 200. available through distros only.

track list;

disc one:

1. beneath the bells (30:09)

2. wandering memory (29:55)

disc two:

1. escape (20:15)

2. postcard (8:24)

3. in the architecture (11:39)

4. far away (19:49)

distros cleaned me out this time, so i have no copies for sale! but they will be available immediatedly or very soon through:
Eclipse Records (sold out)

Mimaroglu Music Sales

Hanson Records

Tomentosa Records

the new guitar meditations will also be available in the UK through:

Volcanic Tongue

Second Layer Records

to those who have already emailed me about copies: i have you covered you will hear back from me asap. thanks!

but to everyone else please do not email me for copies of these i am totally out. they distros should have you set. lots of music in the works right now, expect new releases soon!

cavs game was intense last night!!

Fall Euro Tour Photos
