I was dreaming one night, and this song came, it was part of what I was going through in the dream. I woke up with the emotion, the words, and the melody still going. Got out of bed (Like 4AM! ugh!) went down to the studio and recorded the melody…
So I just picked up my second cup of coffee this morning and clicked on this jewel. What a great way to start my day. Top notch from the music to the vox to the production. Straight to favorites.
An ambient anthemic piece.
The process:
- Start with a live take of me playing an iphone app called tonepad.
- add camelphat and camelspace
- add an Alchemy instance, find a big fat pad, work out a riff
- record a single take accompanying the…
it's always a pleasure to listen to your work MMI. I dig how you incorporate anything you wish into your music. You've got an open mind and this allows you to express yourself so beautifully in your aural creations.
Great songwriting, just a terrific use of a phrase that baseball-fan newspaper-reading kids like me used to see. As one sportscaster once said... "He's listed as day-to-day... Well, aren't we all?"

Nice rhythm! BTW, I've found a perfect way to get that "Slightly Intoxicated" sound...but it involves drinking. It's a great warmup for the "Severely Intoxicated" sound, though!

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
I tried to utilize the swelling of sound that can be created with a guitar to re-create the atmosphere around me (its been rainy all day, with some thunder in the background). This piece is semi improvisational, in that none of it was planned…

Very nice R&B groove! Great vocals and production.

this is a very nice song Hardrick.
Very Imaginative piece of work. You've got a really great voice fella.
Beautiful playing, and an interesting stereo effect.
Had forgotten about this one. Fabulous Richard!
Sweet guitar and mando combination!

Nice one mate cool
Wow. This one has a nice chemistry to it - the whole thing meshes well. I particularly like the vocal buildup around the 4:45 mark until the end.
Oops - if my last comment wasn't expressive enough, I really liked that track.
