#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

NEW ALBUM - Simplify - OUT NOW

Listen in full before deciding whether to buy at https://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

All songs ©℗bemuzic 2017

Cigar box guitars made by me were used on every song.
I also made most of the drums and percussion instruments, plus some Native American Flutes. (On trk 2, one made from some garden cane is used, and on trk 6, one made from black bamboo)

The only bought instruments are a cheap old children's glockenspiel, a harmonica, an Irish Whistle (on Winter Song) a djembe, and a cajon.

Song inspirations include, one of my favourite authors - Haruki Murakami, the amazing photographer - Sebastião Salgado, and Naomi Klein (The final track was written after reading her book Capitalism VS The Climate)

Comment by bemuzic on August 5, 2017 at 12:27pm: ha, thanks Andries : -)

Comment by A.D.EKER on August 5, 2017 at 12:00pm: Fine as ever ! Be !Complex in Simplicity!

Comment by bemuzic on August 5, 2017 at 4:55am: thanks Richard, yes it was rewarding to have written the songs, made the instruments, performed and record the songs, then mixed, edited, mastered it all myself. Luckily my husband helps with burning CD's and posting them : -)

Comment by Richard Sundberg on August 5, 2017 at 4:45am: Very organic feel to it! The handmade instruments and how they are composed into a song is intriguing. Good stuff! I'm a fan of some of the beautiful animations films from Japan. Anime, not so much the child vocals, but the gorgeous use of watercolor. I'll check out your site B!

Comment by bemuzic on August 5, 2017 at 4:24am: ha, yeah that was the idea! Was hoping it'd make people curious enough to go for a listen.... There's a CD on it's way to you John : -)

Comment by Uncle John on August 5, 2017 at 4:22am: Well, what a tease with the short video! I was just sampling this on band camp and I need to get me one!~ Very good stuff. Congrats, my friend.
