This little ragtime number began life as just a snippet, written as background music for a home movie years ago. For the hard core ragtime buffs, I know this is not quite syncopated enough to be true ragtime, but hopefully its fun and bouncy…

While my wife and I were travelling back down the coast of California (near Big Sur) from a vacation around New Years, we stopped at a turnout over a cliff, and took a bunch of video of at least 15 California Condors, flying and hanging out on…

Hi Eduard - fancy seeing you here :)
Lovely real-sounding instruments. Reminiscent of Fasching in Munich when we lived there - it seems that Peruvian music/bands were all the rage that year. You've reflected the warm but staccato feel of Andean music so well. A little too much movement between channels for me, but very effective none the less.
Cheers,
Neil

One of my all-time favorite pieces as well, very nicely re-orchestrated... sort of a Wendy Carlos/Tomita feel. Rich and inventive selection of synth sounds.
I like this little chord progression idea, enjoyed the plucky sounds (although the scratchiness partway in was a little distracting) and the walking bass part was cool. Nice hand-off to the synth in the middle.
Maybe Rock-Ren-Roll? :-) Nice piece of music, great choice of instruments... but 'tis far too short to dance to! It needs a B section, then back to your A section here, and an ending. Well worth extending this out more.
An electronic track from the Dead In The Water sessions. I thought the Last FM version was missing something, so I went in to fine-tune it.
This is the end-result of that fine-tuning.
The track deals with how there are usually no easy outs…
This is a song I wrote with Lisa Purdy (who sings the harmony vocal) about the experience of depression. Jim Bouchard plays lap steel - I'm playing/singing the rest.
Yay Neil! I enjoy this one... great singing and lyrics of course, and what a trio... Lisa's awesome, and matches you wonderfully... and Jim's lapsteel really gives this an even-more woozy off-kilter feel, perfect! And did you do the mixing? Sounds really clean. Programmed drums?

Pulled this one together in bits and pieces as time permitted. This has been one of my favs, lately!
Doug
Oh, yes, this is my loopless experiment, too!
fun gentle ballad thingie (although the fuzz guitar in the middle was a surprise :-) Cool bits of drumming and guitar and singing... way more than I'd ever try to do!

Imagine that you are that lump of enchanted wood on the workbench.... and instead of Pinocchio you can be anything... maybe even a stratavarious... thanx to my friend Dave Edwards for the real violin trax
A talented singer, guitarist, songwriter, and excellent lyricist... I'm quite impressed with what life has molded you into! Great song, great lyrics, excellent build, and always sweet to hear real violins!

While living in Seattle I knew a guy named Larry. Larry was one of the "pretty" people of the world and had most women drooling over him. He met and married Denise... Also one of the "pretty" people of the world. But Denise could not seem to…
Love this song, great writing, great singing... nice mixing... you should be proud of this one. There's a very slight phasing effect on your voice, which at first I didn't like much, but it adds a dreamy quality, so I changed my mind. Excellent harmonies.

Cool and rather unique sound to this song. I was not much of a fan for the dry-sounding raspy bass synth that sometimes appeared in my left ear (would have preferred a softer sound, or back further, more reverb?) But the rest of this was super-cleanly mixed, very crisp sound (stop making me lust after logic!) :-)

Nice ragtime.
You know I love this!
Hey drak, I has a special feel to it! Truly enjoyable! Doug
Drak you are kicking ass!!! Hee Hee
Ah...'bout time we heard some rag. Great playing!
Nice piano -- very catchy.

Soooooo beautiful!
Very intricate composition. Great sounds! Bring up the bass a little bit. The bottom end seems under represented.
Hello Mr. Drak! Very very cool!

Has a bit of baroque feel, and very frenetic, perfect for a 18th century car chase scene :-) This is nicely written.
Very pretty composition, and well played. A mesmerizing piece.

Very pretty lyrical piece... there was a teeny too much reverb on this recording for my taste, but the music and playing were a delight.
wacky, dizzy, cool music. Love the strange echoey bent distortion of the vox samples.
