Really enjoyed this...although, a few times during my listen, I had this strong impulse to just walk away from it all:D Hey. Did you ever live in L.A.? I knew a David Berry there in about 1980 that I worked on some music with that I lost track of.
First of all I love you all!
You are so kind and musically perceptive about my pieces it really makes the hard labour worth it!
The comment about buildings stripped away is spot on!
Also here are the other sonatas. More personal than orchestral music but this is a great site to share them.
No 1 is me trying to imitate Mozart, 2 Beethoven (more stormy!) and 3 the great Bach, my personal favourite. Enjoy!
Peace

Fantastic song writing Dave. When you rolled from acoustic to "rockin" it stole my heart. One hell of a piece of music. A total kitchen sink song. It's got it all.
The guitar is great when it comes in at 1:21! For some reason this sort of has a Dave Matthews Band groove to it which dig. Nice lyrics and vocal delivery.
Great guitar playing! This one has lots feeling to it. I was bobbing my head along the whole time. I'm not much of a lead player so I like listening to other people who can play lead! Well done tune!
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…
Came up with this Before bed last night.
Had to record it this morning so I wouldn't forget the Sound of it...
Live recording
I'll do a better version when I have more time...
Well.... Off to work for me...
This is…
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…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
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
crazy from the…
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.
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
This is some serious lady undressing music! nice guitar work!
Awesome stuff. This would be great music to play during a drive through the mountains, where the air is so crisp and clear!
Excellent Storytelling Dave.
Great laidback summer day vibe! Very clever use of tempo changes also. Perfect sounds for today's lazy afternoon.

I love this tune, Dave! Great playing, and really liking the vox on this one as well. Mark
This one has a really nice full frequency spectrum. It sound very lush and full. I dig the bass.
The guitar is great when it comes in at 1:21! For some reason this sort of has a Dave Matthews Band groove to it which dig. Nice lyrics and vocal delivery.

This has a great feel to it! Really nice instrumentation. The production is spot on. That guitar synth sounds pretty cool! Excellent collaboration!

So very incredible sounding. I like it a lot. Sounds like something Peter Gabriel would get up to.
Beautiful sound

Another fantastic gem of a deep pop song, this is the kind of pop I like.
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!!!!!
Totally fantastic, sweet dreamy pop that has bite and brains. I love everything about this song, everything.

Yes sir thats fun, great flipping song. Class is in.
You got it going on, great creativity here.
Thats fantastic. great surf-punk sound
That is the coolest collection of sounds ever, this is like some kind of caveman jazz.
