I'm still getting around to re-upping everything I took down last October.... this is one of them, and if I recall correctly, this is the track that was the impetus for Paul & I to start collaborating. (Something I've been missing a lot…
well, i really took to both pieces. I decided a mashup should be without permission, otherwise its just aremix. Hope I made something new, Incidentally structure is based on theory heard on alonetone.
Just add 4/4 and go!
how...good job, men. I have to say that i got lost when i realized you took that song for a remix...but the sound is good, more agressive. Really love to have a profressional remix (WOW...me?), but i don´t know what uneven bars means :)
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992

Wow. Nice reel (even if it's named after a lathe -- I am intrigued by the shop-vac idea, though!). All those are really nicely put together and nicely played. Have to get you to play the South Bend next time I'm up there.
Nice, nice. I hope you guys had as much gum making music as the music is fun to listen to!
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…

A couple of nice reels played on guitar, the first is The Cup of Tea, can't remember the name of the second one. Unfortunately my midi flute scratch track got added in the mix…
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
you read my descriptions and you're still asking me if I know the name of that tune? Haha...I'm pretty sure I got it from you! Galtee Rangers might be one of them...

Set of traditional Irish jigs. Don't ask me the names of them, I don't remember (are you seeing a pattern here…

A set of reels (the first being "For the Sake of Old Decency," picked up from a Michael Tubridy album of the same name) I put together one evening. You…
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…

This was my "signature" track several years ago. I wrote this on guitar in the mid-90s while I was getting divorced, but later renamed it and recorded it…

Ooh, the contrast between a lullaby & a wake-up call is brilliant.

Cuban garage band! Hey Pops - the guys are coming over to jam this afternoon, so I need to pull the '52 DeSoto out of the garage for a bit...
Sweet bassey goodness!
I hate autocorrect. Insert "fun" for "gum," I think.

Excellent job on everyone's part!
Such beautiful voices. A great combination with the music of Drakonis!
Lovely playing Man!

Nice! The last tune is Willy Coleman's in case you're interested :)
I always loved that last tune...
HAHA! Laughing at your description. Thanks for reminding me of these tunes. What's the name of the 2nd one? I used to play it all the time
Moons and pianos, man, hard to beat that. Beautiful. Very well done, Richard. I can close my eyes and see the moon. Someday I must get a piano...
Awesome. And that bass is in my face.
I might as well favorite everything you do. This one's a real interesting listen. Nice groove and energy with wonderfully beautiful dissonance.
Beautifully delicate piece, Richard!
I missed the eclipse the other morning, but this more than makes up for it. Beauty.
Nice Doug, thanks for sharing.
funny how rumba turned into some 50s rock&roll :)
