It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
This song was written and recorded for my 2009 RPM Challenge album "Relative Polyphonic Mutiny". There have been a lot of tributes to the funky soundtracks of 1970's porn, this is my homage to the tender side of 80's porn. Longing? Yeah, the well…
this is "classical" and electronica it is an extended remix of gentle persuasion and gently orchestrated it was used at the inauguration of my friend claudias' art galley in Lisbon called #24 and the art displayed was by my other friend pi whose…

lyrics:
The silence sometimes
is all you have to say and I believe it, and you
and everything surrounding the skin beneath your eyes
Time's without a shield or an attack against the sight
of a lifetime that was burning you by
And I may…

I decided to tap into my latent '80s Depeche Mode subconscious, and this bouncy tune popped out! Ian Beardsley heard an earlier version of this and immediately detected Spanish flamenco hidden in the techno dance chords. I opened up the stage…
Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
Trying out a Carol Kaye-inspired bassline here (not completely succesfull; gotta work on my timing some more) and again didn't manage to come up with lyrics. Espresso Martini is a really nice cocktail with coffee you can get at the club/bar where…
i like where this takes me and i would love to know what you are using to generate the sound scape. i need to get some software with the kinds of controls that generate these tones

reminds me of the "the weakerthans". i really like the guitar tones . seeing how you can make changes, i would love to see and have been advocating for, a tab for lyrics. it can be a much richer experience if you can read along and not miss the music because you are straining to understand the story or message. i have been putting my words under the "ABOUT " tab but it isnt obvious to the listener. love your style and voice.

Another song for the RPM 2009 Challenge. This is sort of an interlude that reminds me of Penguin Cafe Orchestra but with a sort of industrial edge. Vocoder is featured.
The whole piece was 24 minutes long. It's a whole bunch of short poems that I wrote back in 1976, read one after the other, under which I added ambient sounds, playing some harmonica and banjo and using samples and effects of various types, synths…
i like this side of you. a great idea for the challenge. my first child was born in 1976. we lived in a house truck on the beach in ventura california. sounds as though you were near the water as well, 3000 miles away
