Morning light on the mountain stream,
catches the eye of the child within his dreams.
The day begins, present and aware,
of all the beauty, he plays without a care.
Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,
picking spring flowers in…

We call this Beat-box ghosts (the prog-fu mix). A fun collab between Osckilo and myself. Osckilo had this song he did called Ghosts, all done beat-box. I had to ask him what beat-box meant, I had no idea. I took his original track (just his…
Whoaaaaa what do we have here, insane man.......Doors meets Captain Beefheart, meets Elvis, , meets Buthole Surfers, meets Tom Waits.........meets..............flipping hell man, great stuff.
Hey man, thanks for the comments on my stuff. Don't worry about what other people say about your music, it definitely is very original sounding. Very well crafted recordings, and a sound very unique to you. You are a true original. Your vocal sounds very good here. Keep on rocking. You are onto something here for sure, if some dude can't understand what you are trying to do here, that is their loss.
This solo studio dub jam was created and recorded in about 8 hours of play time one day. As usual, it starts with a simple drum machine track, then fretless bass, then keys, guitar, then a Balinese kecak drum and a tbilat drum and finally melodica…
I'm particularly fond of the whole thing. I really love this little world you are creating with music. Vocally you remind me a little bit of the great Canadian singer Jane Siberry, sort of in the treatment of your vocals or something.
Beautiful, beautiful vocals.....it was all a dream after all......or was it a waking dream..........I just left the ground.......floating upwards........this song has a huge payoff for all who give it the time required to reach heaven............so incredibly wonderful. You have turned my grey morning into sunlight.

A likable, hedonistic alien stumbles upon earth. He is forced to leave because of humanities' reaction to his arrival. He returns a couple millenia later and is surprised by what he finds...
Nice, I love the subject matter, thats a great song-story. Wild full sound here. Vocally this reminds me a bit of the Decemberists singer. Very original and even grooving.
Jethro has done a series of songs that he refers to as his 'hippie songs". These are ones where he takes old poems that he wrote in the late sixties or early seventies and puts them to music. We have now uploaded his latest called "Search For…
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Very very cool mate.
super cool stuff!
killer blues...this IS the down and dirty good stuff!
I dig it. (I'm not criticizing, but a tiny bit of reverb/echo on the drums would be perfect.)
Love the guitar solo's, i agree with Ted the Waites delivery is nice and Bluesy, there must be a better way if only we could find it
Very nice. Nice lyrical observation, too.
Nice tone on those solos man!
Nice. Like Tom Waites channeling Howlin Wolf.
A song a day helps you work rest and play and seems to keep me sain
Merry Christmas Dave
Kicks some major butt! Great job Dave!
Good reinvention! Love DJ!
