Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,

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…
Reg has had a little too much to drink and decides to have a dance................while the piano players are at combat for supremacy......there's a rumble going on...............
Fathers Day on Sunday....
Thought I'd write a song for my son.
Here you go lad...
As the Sun shines....Lyrics
And my boy.....
You Smile so wide as the sun shines.
But you will keep your joy as the clouds try,
to stop our light…
it finally happened the guys from jemima's kite got together for a gig in otley yorkshire, with geir and osckilo joining in the festivities.
this was a wee practice before the event, with me on vocals and greeny on guitar and backing vox live…
Take me back to ole Virginia Lord, he's pluggin' in a mic.
I dig the cheesy Farfisa Rotary patch......
Here's a song to sing
a fairy tale
no mountain high
or oceans to sail
no darken nights
in the belly of a whale
no hammer's throne
or red…
Jean Jaques Burnel is one of my bass heroes. This song is the second I recorded with the new Squier bass. I kept the other instruments secondary to show off the bass
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
One could use this to compare the changes I made to accommodate the change in tuning because this is the Centaur tuned piece but I changed the master tuning back to "standard" 12 equal.
Full picture of the guitarron body - it sounded great - nicely deep.
The guitarron is fretless with a very short neck which reminds me of a giant Oud - the wikipedia article will give you an idea of just how huge this thing really is…
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
I wanted to see how much "music" I could get out of one chord and four notes. Sorry that it has a sort of cheesy 80s sound at times, but that's when I started playing guitar and it's hard to reprogram your brain. The chord is Bsus2 and the solo…
On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
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.

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

yeah kick ass guitars!!!!! Play it brotha!
