I just decided to upload this one again, as a separate version. It's the same record, but i've re-equalized it and doubled the main guitar an octave up.
A different flavor of the same thing. I hope you like and/or enjoy.
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.
Very cool progressions and a really interesting mix of tranquil and more abrasive passages. Loved the sound swells at the beginning and the vox toward the end. Also really cool percussion!
so so pretty .. I do not know if a windy dialog am i ready for. ;) *looks over the dialog* sorry I would base my improvised modern classical jazz on things like this but I would never go programming a serial performance ,,, I say that now but then there is the future. ;)
Minor tweaks to the original upload: Better balancing of volume level, subtle changes to dynamics of the piano chords, and the addition of a very low-key counter-melody line on the third go-round of the main verse.
Another one created by bouncing tracks between 2 ordinary cassette recorders. Includes some of my earliest samples [made on cassette], not to mention chanting Buddhist monks and the voice of T.S. Eliot reading from 'Four Quartets'. Tried to fit…
This track and the preceding (Hammer Into Anvil) flow amazingly well into each other. Reminds me, for some reason, of late nights at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm (which probably dates me more than I'd like). Another pint? oh, why not ....
A composition written backwards. I started with the relative harmony/coherence of the final measures and retrogressively dismantled it, concluding with the relative chaos of the opening.
This, folks, is the very first Frankenstein Sound Lab track, all the way from 2000 - pre-computer days, this was recorded on an ordinary cassette recorder. Listening to it prior to posting, I think it actually stands up quite well today.
Hard to believe this is 11 years old; seems very up-to-the-minute, especially with the Great Tribulation (once again) seemingly upon us. Really cool synth work. Much (all?) of it seemed to be in 7/8, one of my favorite off-kilter time signatures.
2004,Experimental house.
In memory of a very bleak 24 hour journey of disaster traveling back from an even bleaker Turkey in the bitter lonely winter, aged only 22, where I ended up accidentally working for the mafia and had to run away. Fun…
"Afoxe" is a rhythm played by carnival groups from Bahia in Northeastern Brazil. It is named after an instrument that is traditionally used to play this pattern: an afoxe is a beaded gourd; aka "shekere". In this rendition, I replaced the shaker…
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
Updated version this time recording done with my zoom mrs1608. On the rhythm guitar riff is my volume pedal acting as a feedback eliminator and for the wah-wah pedal effect I used my Jimi Hendrix pedal. Need more guitar cables and I'm set to having…
I've always been a fan of the Allman Brothers Band!
This is one of my favorites that they do....
I played all the music to this and then I asked Mike [Holdempok] to put down the vox....

Very tasteful playing, nice moody progressions. Great use of reverb which makes the mix sound huge! Really liked this one ....
Really cool track ... reminds me a little of Ry Cooder hopping a freight train, guitar in hand
Really lovely chord progression with nice piano work and great lyrics. A fine mix and a great tune!

Not necessarily fun, but a good listen. Great build, and cool distorted keyboard which really keeps the track moving. Really atmospheric and cool.
