Another go at the elusive 24 minute mark.
Many of the vocals are a little muddy from lack of mixing time, but lyrics are included in the descriptions.
I hope you enjoy.

Bust Out (2008)
12 tracks by brando
It's done! After almost a year on hold, here's the way it is meant to be heard. All songs have been mixed and a few are significantly different. The album is short, about 35min, and I encourage the full listen because order and transition were important.
35:41
Intro
Originally a very different song, slowed to a dragging pace and laced with dense moans of twisted agony. There's a little bit of John MacDonald on lead guitar in the build too.

A huge thank you to desoto on this one. The bass propels the listener like riding a wave while the flute cuts your mind loose in the atmosphere.

The Gig Revolution (2003)
6 tracks by brando
This is an old album, never really put out there until now. The songs document my descent into the computer world, rarely ever recording from organic sources. I made every attempt to harness my trepidation about this new era into a playlist.

After Christmas Morning
Yo-Yo Ma uploaded this cello part on indabamusic and invited others to create with it. I thought it was a cool idea. I had help with this christmas song from Matthiew, a wandering Parisian trumpet player.

Here the idea was that I was going to write from the viewpoint of someone who is paralyzed from the neck down and can through technology only watch other peoples life but not participate. It turned out a bit more general and ambiguous than that.

Mondrian is Boogie Woogying again
The Dutch painter Mondrian was apparantly a fervent dancer to Boogie Woogie and that image stuck because he seems such a stiff guy otherwise. So I thought that would make a funny subject... (more)

A better mix. I pumped up the trumpet, bass and guitar. It was just annoyingly low.

morning coffee
I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

It's ALL bass, and one ocarina track. And a gong. And a radio broadcast from Saudi Arabia from Desert Storm (the first time we went over). So I guess it's not ALL bass. It's MOSTLY bass.
