Recently, my wife and I discovered the TV show Portlandia, and it has become our Saturday morning ritual to watch the latest episode with our coffee. Anyways, I kind of got the theme song (http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/02/portlandia-whats-that…
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...
This track is actually 99.583333% M.T.C. But, I needed an easy project for July, since I didn't have a lot of time last month. He had published it as a "B-Side" called "Quarter of a 60th Spanish." For fun, I just added a few subtle twists. Probably…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
This is excellent from both of you!
Norm sounds like an entire rhythm section, and I love the interplay between the various guitar parts.
More triangle!!

Weight of the World
Open your eyes it’s a beautiful day
Throw off the weight of the world
The air is clear and the sky is ablaze
Winter leaves its scars on us all
I’ll hold…
I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
Took a sample of a cd skipping (artist was Skip James, irony) and messed with it in Filtatron app,added some awful funk accompaniment that sounds like a soundtrack for a bad porn movie, hence the title.
It's a small song about a blurred childhood memory of a night in the woods when a wild boar made us run home in panic.
The monster came through the ground
Across the glade we ran
There was a sense we felt again - never felt again.
Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn
2011 according to Regs research was pretty shit for most apart from the couple from England......it thought i would use a Chinese theme to the music being that they own it and it was the year they were able to buy most of it cheap.....note to…
Songcrafters.org did a "Live in the living room "festival recently...
The only music I can play in my living room these days is the odd lot of contemplative classical guitar, as anything else would wake up the family at night... :)
Here is…

Sorry it took me 11 to check this out (no internet connection)...sounds good!

This and djorklandia sound like movie music to me. Grand landscapes and epic travel shots.
Nice -- this sounds fantastic through headphones. I like how the bass is clearly separated out from the higher instruments.
