Originally this was a Van Halen-ish tune. Now... Well, listen for your self. This kicked things off for me. I really took inspiration from Mike Patton in Tomahawk. Very experimental with the voice hope you like it.
This was the last song I recorded for the Gowns album, finishing it with a lasting tribute to my friend and mentor, Mr. George Difficult. Our good friend Doug Jablin, a DJ at KUNV in George's old time slot, played this track during a tribute show dedicated to George. I remember driving around Vegas listening to the show with Lisa and my bass playing friend Sam. I remember Sam tear up in the rear view mirror as this song played out. It was an amazingly emotional time for all.
George loved Billie Burke...I only knew of her from the Wizard of Oz, playing Glinda the good witch...George had tons of her old movies on VHS. I remember watching her and realizing that the voice she had in OZ was the voice she had in real life.
George introduced me to the writings of Bryon Gysin and William S. Burroughs. He was extremely well read and had stacks of books in his room all in various degrees of being read. They would always change the next time I went over. He was a wealth of information and intellect.
One of the lynch pins of George's untimely passing had to do with him pruning a tree in his back yard in the wee hours of the morning. He was drinking a bit...and fell, breaking his arm I believe...or leg...I don't remember which...this led him to getting pain killers..and the rest is unfortunately Vegas history. He passed away in his sleep about a week after the incident with the tree. As far as I know, the tree is still there.
Lyrics:
I know your secrets
I know that you’ve been bleeding
I feel your anger
And every single feeling
I was your mask, my friend
And only friend that you had
I’ll come to save you
And be your mask again
I am your “outside”
I shade the inner…

This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…
A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…
I can hear the influence of the Bulgarian Duda players in some of the keyboard melodies. Great stuff. Meant to get back and listen to the rest of your stuff for a while now- thanks for this
