A track over twenty years in the making. I came up with it sitting in front of the TV with an unplugged borrowed Rickenbacker 360 (thanks, Mark). The Santana vibe just happened. I made a four track cassette recording of it just to get it down…
Swamp Thing is a custom built guitar by Tony Louscher at Luthier's Workshop in Green Bay, WI. I wrote the main riff three years ago and it sounded "swampy" to me. For the 2020 RPM Challenge, I dusted off the little riff and created this tune…
When I made my demo of this song, Nancy said she really liked the melody of the chorus and that overall it was her favorite tune of mine to date, hence the title.
I thought the first section of the song would be ideal for a sitar, however I…
I love surf music complete with Fender guitars dripping in lots of spring reverb. This one came out of the clear blue and somehow developed the double-naught spy thing in the process.
Matt plays lead. He's got the surf thing down pat!
Pleased with this orchestration and the Tina Arena arrangement of this iconic Kate Bush classic...have always loved it! Produced and performed by myself, except for the stunning vocal performance by Tina of course .....
(Original Song…
I've been a Kate fan for a long time and this is a fantastic cover. Enough faithfulness to the original, but the arrangement breathes some new life into it. Well done!
A simple folk style song based off the Velvet Underground's "New Age".
I was given the task to write a song quickly, by no less than a pretty girl I was talking to at the time. The influence is apparent, perhaps theft, but hopefully Dylanesque…
Version of "Auld Lang Syne" inspired by the arrangements from "Hard Times" by The Human League.
I originally recorded a version of this track for the 2016 RPM Holiday Challenge; but I revisited and re-recorded it on 12/15/2022 with new equipment…
Nice sonic textures throughout. The bridge brings an unexpected release to the tension that builds throughout the first section and it is repeated at the end. Brilliant!
I guess you can call this in 13/8 meter or alternating 7/8 - 6/8 - but I counted it as 7-3-3. Also this was another proof of concept with Abelton Live. Three guitar tracks in F# phrygian more than less.

Hope yours was a happy Hanukkah!
Nicely done. Tasteful mix of Spanish and ambient genres.
I'm really enjoying this track. Going down nice and easy with my coffee this morning.
Wow... I was surprised by the direction this moved. Just what I needed after a busy day. Well done.
Fun!

Chag Pesach Sameach! Nice track. I can see this being a go to when I need to just sit back and breathe.
Praying for your grandmother. Another great track. Keep serving 'em up!
Indoor Voices rocks! Love the hardcore reggae thing going on in this.
Nice, contemplative piece. Great chill out music.
Encouragement through music. Thank you for reminding me of hope.
Very Dylanesque. Nice!
Perfect for contemplative moments.
Definitely has that Human League vibe. Back to the mid 80s!
Texture-mania! I hear more prog influences than just Floyd which is pretty cool.

It marinated well. Very thoughtful piece with plenty of tension and release. Well executed.
Reminds me of 1968-69 Pink Floyd.
I think you caught Salamanca's personality with this. What he did to Howard... yikes!
So dang good!
