Guitar music with a soulful rural sound… Welcome to my slack key guitar crossovers!
Live, Love… Soulfully
Lance Takamiya from Mililani, Hawaii.
Warm Guitar Music for Soothing One’s Soul. Aloha for listening!
New Release-
where the light settles
This composition was inspired by those quiet moments when the day softens, the mind grows still, and light seems to linger a little longer before fading into evening.
Recorded on solo nylon-string guitar, it was created as a space to slow down, breathe, and simply be present for a few minutes.
I hope it brings a sense of calm, reflection, and peace wherever you are today.
