This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

Well, I finally got my hands on a 17 note per octave electric guitar thanks for Brad Smith, a local Luthier who did a lovely conversion of a Jay Turser strat copy I bought at the local Guitar Center for $65. The guitar is nicely very bright…
Thanks for your kind words, Kavin: and this album is STILL in the works; it's just been one hell of a year, and now it has to wait for RPM to finish... sheesh... k&w
Funk is my first love but a close second is disco with house right on its heels.
This track is a mix of all three...a funky disco house track. No funky guitars but I've got my fingers crossed that the groove is funky enough.
Anyway lots of synths…
This is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…
This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…
The circus is leaving, for good. Adults are happy (oh, at last they were gone!). Children are unhappy (there was a lion and clown, acrobats and candy and ... all that!). Ahh...

At least once each of us has seen the so-called prophetic dream, bright or in matt. Come true, though?

Guess where I dreamed up something like this? When the choir members started walking up the aisle in a cadence of the Monastic Walk (3 steps forward followed by one step back, followed by a brief pause), the backbeat appeared in my mind. I worked…
A song for my friend, Eric. Eric changed his diet and drank some green gunk every day and he's cancer went into remission. It's 12 years later and last time we talked he said it was all back...now. He hasn't called in a while. I assume he has died.
I'm surprised I forgot to post this collaboration with Norm and Char.
Char performs the reading
Norm performs the percussion
Chris did choir, sax, bass, FXs

You know those people who like to break out the family photos or something of that sort with which to bore their guests? This is my version of that.
Most of what makes this song special to me is for all the same reasons that you won't share…

Let us celebrate our failures and our successes!
I submit my failure here for consideration.
I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…

Sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero. How about a bit more volume on the music and a bit less on the percussion? John.
Such a class act!
Enchanting and well played piece giving all the flavour of the circus. Lovely!
Oh, wistfully done! Depends upon how you interpret them and if you let them.
Very nice tune. but now you make me consider buying the Garritan World set too. ;-) These tuning capabilities in the new player are really awesome
Nice one Chris. Very pretty. Love the pipes and the percussion.
This is very well done Terry. I love the contrast between the choral and the guitar. The whole thing has a great feel.
So sad, JM. What are we going to do with you? I thought your backing there was perfect for the track. Just lovely.
Oh well recited. I thought it may have to compete with the band but no, that was great!
Good heavens you have a lot of great tunes...
Such a pleasing tone!
Brilliant, indeed!
Ah, poor little maid. Nicely done!
