**300 copies** You Are Tired features amazing finger-pick style utilising both a calm and destructive mood, the tracks title producing imagery whilst you are listening and to a degree the sounds send you back to a time. similarly to other such guitar luminaries within the same genre such as John Fahey, Sandy Bull, Robbie Basho to name a few. Rob is an extension of their ideas, using his guitar to express meaning and emotion and he does it very elegantly on the opening track. Nightmare Study is a different piece altogether, hypnotic and swirling and filled with the fear only a nightmare can provoke. This is where Noyes excels in his guitar experimentalism, sound experimentalism and technique experimentalism all at once, yes we have traditional song craft still present but there is something else too, something unique. We can hear a kind of Henry Flynt vibe merging the essences of Raga, Folk and Experimental music together. Rob is also playing this live, there is no backwards tape or effect and this is testament to the genius of Rob and his playing.
