Hey friends, it's been awhile! I just got back from Alpharetta, where I managed to get a few short hours hanging with my good friend Treefrog. We recorded a whole bunch of weird noises & then decided to do at least one "real" song. This is…
I have touched and I have known
the memories of stone
And echoes of the oceans
are etched upon my bones
My body's of the earth
and my spirit's of the sky
My mind is of the matter
these memories will never die
So let's go down below…
This is my submission for Akron/Family's "Woody Guthrie's America" Project.

Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…

Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

Come Tomorrow
-
I'm like a tumbleweed, got no roots
I'm like a climbing vine, leaves and chutes
Come tomorrow, I might not be around
Come tomorrow
I'm a reflection, you see me in your mirror
A missed connection, so far and yet right here…

As far as I recall, that was simply a stock rhythm track from an old Alesis drum machine. I was applying some effects in real time during the mix, bringing the level up & down which gives it that cool swirly dynamic...
Thanks for listening!

@rinyville - Thanks for the response! I tend to want to bury my vocals in the mix... I resisted the urge this time, but when I listen back, it just seems too loud. I am really curious if anyone agrees that it could stand to be brought down just a touch?

To all who commented, thanks for listening! I do think the vocal is *just a bit* too loud... anyone agree with that assessment?
@Mr Sandbags - I did actually smoke Marlboros once upon a time, but that was over twenty years ago! No more tobacco for me!

Here comes my life again on the upswing
feels like I've been down
for so long
like a carnival ride
I'm not scared of the heights
as much as the ground below…
A song about the upcoming End of the World.
They tell me that the world is almost ended
the calender runs out and there's nothing more to say
The sun will flicker out and leave us all to die
So many things will be left undone
You and I will…
Hey Dave, I haven't seen (heard!) any new music from you in a while, but if you've heard anything awesome around here in the last year, please add it to the thread:

This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…

Ben jij echt?
De laatste uren van de ochtend, in de warmte van mijn bed
Kus jij me zachtjes wakker, je hebt al koffie gezet.
Waar de ene droom verdwijnt is waar de ander begint
Gekust door een droomvrouw, zo geliefd en bemind.
Ben jij…
Ik geniet echt van je muziek.
Het zou mooi zijn als je de woorden kon afdrukken zodat ik kan vertalen naar het Engels.
(Sorry if I have chosen a poor translation for my comment!)
The guitar part and part of the words came first- the song was not easily written. I had to force it a little, and finished it today after having fragments kick around in my head for over a month. I hope the words and performance live up to the…

This is my complete entry for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The album is called Radio and it's a suite of seven songs tied together with the sound of a radio being tuned. It's done.
You said, "I am a guitar player" to which I reply, Hell Yeah! But when you say "and a 3rd rate songwriter" I just gotta BS on that one buddy! I love that you called this record "Radio" because I could hear all these songs being played on an old school Album Rock station like the ZOO in Dallas used to be. You need to pat yourself on the back for me man, this kicks ass! Now go change your profile! :-D

Holy crap...I emailed you back, totally blew me away! I freakin love it. Can't even explain how well your voice fit with that riff. Wow...

Love the spooky ambience here
Probably not the best track to listen to in the morning when I'm supposed to be getting up and getting ready for work! Well done!
Yeah, perhaps just a wee bit! Different is good!
Yeah, Peter, you did good. Very nice track!
I clapped at the end along with everyone else!
WOah! Double nasty guitar and vox.... ....had to wait for the smoke to clear to leave this comment!
Please post the words as well.
Great mood, Chris! Very well done.
This is twisted. A lot of your music reminds me of John Frusciante's stuff.
green poop is some funky shit!
Dig it!

This is kicking ass, man. Your guitar is rockin, killer riffs. Are these mixes different from the individual tracks you posted?
