Odd song, odd time signatures. It was originally written for my AP english high school class as an instrumental "creative response" to Dante's Inferno. You gotta love the Catholic school system. Later a buddy of mine (Chris Lee) put lyrics to…
Inspired by RFK's Mindless Menace of Violence Speech
Lyrics
Perhaps we can remember
if only for a time
that violence stops for no man
being rich and poor,and black or white
we share the same old dreams
a captive moment in our lives…

I love you. And I'm watching you... :)
All one take into the Boss MicroBR hole and cleaned up a little. I'm the red headed stepchild of recording...
Love You
Some people want to know you
Wanna put their arms around you
Buy you a drink…
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…
Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…
Good point, Gumbo! That is the nature of "cross-over" patterns: they involve 2 rhythms with *different meters* which are played at the same *tempo*. So, regardless of listening to this pattern through the lens of 4/4 (8 beats/bar) or 3/16 (12 beats/bar), both patterns are played at the same tempo, i.e. 180bpm in this case. These patterns have measures that start at the same point, but do not end at the same point until cycling through 24 beats each - at which point they "cross-over"; a point that is illustrated by the clave in this example.

This is a short, more or less middle eastern-ish piece using the Zurna tuning and Mark of the Unicorn Ethno 2 sample set in Sonar. I performed (and…

Suprise: much shorter than your typical pieces.
Not a suprise: Once again, you stretch out to genres 3 clicks beyond the Bell Curve. Is there anything you can't tackle??
Nice work!
You have to listen to this one to the end. It goes mental. Thanks Jarvis for letting me add, (Hopefully), something to this amazing track.
(No pun intended).
Would you guys mind if I jump in to this little ditty? I'm talkin' Harmonica, washboard, hardcore plastic tamborine, maybe even some genuine imitation banjo.
Drop me a line.
We really had a wonderful time working with Sister Savage and we have since inducted her into the band under her new virtual ego: Violet Hemlock!
Thanks Tess!

This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit.
Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original

You can hear him here.
