A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)
Just stopped by to return the appreciation, but i LOVE this tune!! The sarcastic comments... haven't enjoyed something like that in a while. Just a thought, ever think about swapping the effect of the melody singer and the talking voice? I think it could be an interesting mix. But i am known to be wrong... alot...
were you guys tap dancing in the studio or what? It's so tightly woven into the continuous bass and rhythm tracks. And then it follows with all the layered strings... yeah, this one for sure. ;)
I deleted this a while ago I think. Just found it on a CD and decided to put it back up for your listening pleasure. It demonstrates the proper usage of a washboard!
Not recorded for RPM, but for the expected release of this album. Bones was a chinchilla R.T. got for Xmas '07 that died just after new year's. This is for her. She was the sweetest.
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…

Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.

Hypnotic.
This is an absolute classic. C-l-a-s-s-i-c.
I absolutely love this, especially the wonderful interlude of clapping and tapping. 12 minutes is nothing, it speeds by too quickly!
I really dig this whole album
What a great melody!
The piano and strings are a lovely combination...both are very emotive instruments. A lovely piece.
Been a while since I heard this. Why did I not fav it last time?
Very peaceful. Don't know how I missed this one of yours
Full of imagery. I love songs that paint me a picture.
very pretty.
