I wanted to capture the sunny and uplifting spirit of AM radio hits from my childhood. The horns, the bouncy baseline, the clean and -hopefully-tasty guitar fills all come from that place.

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
This is great! What starts out as a super solid guitar riff turns out to be the start of an inventive arrangement and tasty guitar playing. Your voice is interesting too, and made better by the fact that you're clearly feeling it!
In Lockdown, I have really been inspired to return to my more classical roots, and have enjoyed playing around with the idea of epic style movie or cinematic themes/trailers. I have imaginatively named them Lockdown Orchestrations No. 1, No…
So, thought it was time to try something a tad more substantial - hence embarked on a Piano Concerto....here is the first movement of my first, in C minor.......
This is the first idea I came up with for the 2021 RPM Challenge/FAWM and it very much sets the tone for most of what will follow. It's too long, it is pretty much just an Eminor and a Dmajor... everything is going to sound the same this year…
Nice, man! Love the intro. You got my attention with some really juicy guitar tone and a funky bass part right off the bat. I like the open-endedness of the lyrics. The guitar parts are all really good.

Thanks! While I wasn't going for complicated, I tend to agree it can sound that way.
This is absolutely awesome. Complicated piece. Just heard it on the RPM Challenge listening feed.
You're making some very cool sounds.
Wow! What a track
If I had a lighter, it would be in the air right now.
Yes, Jeff’s Demos. It’s a glass slide. I do remember getting frustrated after a few takes and playing it on my lap, over hand like lap steel.
It came out killer! May I ask...glass or metal slide? Im guessing glass....great tune !
So many elements! Great dynamic shifts. You swing. You rock.
So bold and moody. Thank you for listening to my songs.
What happens when you compose on bass? This, I guess.

Opens with sounds of a rainstorm on my front porch, proceeds to a slow building and reflective instrumental.
A longish, atmospheric prog rock adventure, including some of my favorite glitchy sounding ambient doo dads.
Instrumental prog featuring my favorite guitar and synth sounds.

Love this one. It’s the most exciting arrangement among your stuff I’ve listened to so far. I like your approach to titling songs too.
I like this a whole bunch. I am guessing that you’re a keyboard player first, but the drumming is really interesting and exciting. Love the bass tone!

This whole collection is inspiring. Picking my way through and finding lots of things to love about this!
Piano is not my first instrument, but I've been thinking orchestrally for a while now. Love this and looking forward to hearing more!
This one is so much fun! Great energy and movement in that synth bass, and I really love the transitions in and out of quiet parts!
Woah! I was hooked from the first beat. Love that open sounding snare, and a glorious use of bubbly synth with lots of personality!

I like this. Do I hear two pianos?
