this instrumental format reminds me a lot of progressive rock or metal, but it sounds very modern, even time/space age yet dark and also like a film. but the lyrics are very current.
dave berry, a real nice track here. I think you got something common going on with my track "shine free, live true (always blue)" track. Though I get more vibes, musical content and lyrical content from yours. Have a listen to mine, cover if you like. Cheers.
Dave, another fantastic example of your excellent songwriting!
I thought your vocals were particularly good on this one. And that little change at 1:40 was pretty sweet!

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…
Right on, bro! A well put together prog masterpiece as usual. You must have had a hell of a time putting this one together! We've got to do another collab soon!

A folky ballad about the trials and tribulations that happen during home recording, in this particular case using a Boss microBR.

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…
Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…

Had to record it this morning so I wouldn't forget the Sound of it...

I'll do a better version when I have more time...
Well.... Off to work for me...

We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…

A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…
Holy crap man, I have just stumbled onto the motherlode of dream pop perfection. I like your style a lot, a real lot. I'm gonna have to take the time to listen to all your songs now!!!!!
I hear you calling, calling
I know your sky, it must be falling
and you want me to get you straight
to the counterfeit you
You're feeling sloppy poppy
you want to be all 'happy' again
can I catch you up on 13th street

one who is on the brink. this song displays a pensive happiness, an anticipation. It is a duet between an accoustic guitar and an extremely on point drum synth.
ok, volume is fixed, and the title too. Maybe soon I will mix it better or perhaps just move on to better things. Thanks to those who gave excellent advice on previous version.
and the #2 version has been deleted (actually this is #2).
This started as an instrumental piece until my goog friend Nick Coward wrote some lyrics andrecorded them remotely. He sent me a CD of his vocal tracks which I synched and here we have it.

What a great feel. I'll use this album as a model for my recordings.
Don't forget to blame Lalo for that too. haha. Nice tune man.
