Quite by accident I was listening to Chris Vaisvil's time stretched piece and had the improvFriday player going at the same time. It was like that chocolate and peanut butter thing, you know? So here is Chris' Out of My Body used as a backdrop…
I happened to be in MD one summer when the 17 year cicadas came out to make their noise. Walking around I felt I was on the set of an old sci-fi flick set on an alien planet.
This brought me back.
@Mannequin
Yes sampled the cicadas at daughters soccer practice. Found they are only active certain times of the day (8pm in this case). The sound they make is the embodiment of summer for me.
Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.
The verse and the chorus are pretty much the same thing except the chorus is louder and heavier. I consider that a gimmick and a bit of a cheat, but I very often really like the way it works out. Shoot me.
The lyrics are about being afraid…
I recently discovered three songs we had recorded in 1993 or 1994 shortly before breaking up. These tracks are the only ones (that I know of) that have our new player, the only personnel change we had in over 10 years.
The title is obviously…
After not having played for a while I was inspired by a Steve Tibbetts sound and tried to recreate it and failed. This came out. The title was indeed misinterpreted words not intended and not really about this piece of music but in a sense was.
With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
With music written and performed by Soundsmith Kamachi.
It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)
Decided to upload a work in progress from a heavy side project called : Lab Survivor.
I have a few things in the works coming up, hopefully including an all acoustic RPM. Finally have the studio up and running with some new upgrades :) Wahoo…
Stevie Ray is the reason why I picked up my guitar in the first place. I did my best to mimic him throughout my short 8 months of guitar playing, then I realized I was going nowhere. So instead, I sought to develop a style which would make Stevie…

nice!
Beautiful!
warmly fills the room. great piece.
Love the cicadas in here! Did you sample those yourself? Awesome soundscapes. Otherworldly at times. This would be great for a cinematic piece!
Is this Paul's extreme stretch? Nice work!
@sandbags thanks sir, I added some cicadas to the super slowed down guitar. Also new comment.
This is another of those tracks where I look for the 'double favourite' button in vain.

Me too. Great little solo!
A mysterious soundtrack!
Intense!
That's a rockin blast from the past!
Got it Jim. Nice closing piece.
Yay, Jim! That looping/layering really works, approaching Tibbettsism.
Cool. I could happily listen to Bee recite the Cornwall phone book.
tangerine dreamy
Thanks kirklynch, mainly just some tape delay that creeps in about the 2 min. mark.
Nice. I would have put a bit more reverb on the vocal, but minor. Very nice,yall.
One of my faves from y'all.
Lovely. Cool processing on the vocals.
I feel lighter,floating.
Cool song and great guitar playing!
Well arranged and played. Dang!
Face melting good!

Beautiful piece, and plaintive mood.
Hey this is cool
reticent extravagance
