I'll definitely be adding something to this (unless you suddenly withdraw your offer!). I have quite a secret Drop D project file on the go at the moment.

An experiment in minimalism ala 2004 inspired by the likes of Muslim Gauze. Dumped a Korg ES-1 drum track into Nuendo...cut it up...then added a sample of an ancient Greek song of Mourning...cut that sucker up too...and this is the result. I did…

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 just made a video putting this song to Charlie Chaplin's speech, "The Great Dictator" It turned out to my liking, so I think I'm changing the title of this tune to "Soldiers In The Name."
This is what happens when I come back to a track that started being put together in a commercial radio station production studio back in about '92/'93 (post liquid-lunch "creative" time). The rhythm loops were layered then the crunch guitar (courtesy…
I'm curious if anyone can name any of the bands that were sampled to create the rhythm loop. It's quite a mashup. Hint...it's all late 80's/Early 90's alternative stuff.
the journey
continues- frek interacts with strange inhabitants form alien worlds-the heart chakra opens at about the 13 minute mark
shades of starsailing for the Lincoln the Chain gang at about 8 minutes-
This is a collaboration with Drop D -- He posted the intstrumental for potential collaboration and I just couldn't resist :)
Lyrics:
I don't want to be anything you never see
Just give some room to breathe
I'm suffucating
I want everyone…
First experimental release from Frek and the Elixir.
Frek and the Elixir is my solo project.
The song changes a lot! listen through to the end to take the whole journey!
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Thanks for posting this. It's always nice to go diggin' through the ol' stax to stumble on lost forgotten gems. I think I recall you guys playing this live...very happy to be able to hear it again now.
"They were once Men. Great kings of Men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them Nine Rings of Power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question. One by one, falling into darkness. They are the Nazgûl. Ringwraiths, neither living nor…
This is a song I have just recently finished recorded over the summer in my basement using all live recordings of real instruments (intro vocals were recorded literally on a cliffside), and this is the first of more to come. It's a song about…

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice groove. Shufflin beat...slow waves to wash over you...and a gradual build in composition. It's all about the journey. Diggin' it as usual.
Comments on Drop D's stuff

I liked "Standing Space" Too. But for me "Shock and Awe" was an infectous groove
Wow! That already rocks as is. I'll be looking forward to what happens to it
Dig!
SUPER COOL.
Awesome track, your style reminds me a lot of Trent Reznor
Hey I know I've said it before, but... You are my HERO! Nice Jam. Love the Tabla-esque percussion.
No problem, thanks for the open invitation! I really enjoyed getting to add on to your sound
Awesome drum track! :)
this must be what's known as Monster Funk......excellent beat.......that bass is sure chewing it up....
What a story! I agree with Chicken on the excellent base. Ok, uncle. What is the drum track?
...if anyone recognizes the drum track...let me know. :D
...this is open to collaboration if anybody wants to add anything. Let me know.
Hell yeah!
What a great start. I hope you have lots of interest from those wishing to add.
Compelling...
I dig the hell out of it!
You really caught me with this one. It's addictive!
I can't wait to hear what becomes of this...
Loving this! I have music blog called Sharp Eleven and I would like to feature this song. Are you interested?

Absolutely, positively groovy. A VERY enjoyable journey into sound.

diggin' the breathy pulse of this...it just keeps movin'....dark...but smooth.
Wow...this REALLY hit the spot. It's amazing how something so "airy" as a wind instrument can "ground" you so well.
freeeee---keeeeeeen-------LUV!!!!!!!!!!
Twistercizing sounds-abound! Dig it, brother!!!
Thanks for playing along! Fun to collaborate with you!
I think you found the elixir. FUN journey through sound! This is a soundtrack begging for film.
Thanks for posting this. It's always nice to go diggin' through the ol' stax to stumble on lost forgotten gems. I think I recall you guys playing this live...very happy to be able to hear it again now.
Hauntingly...stellar. Beautifully recorded.
Dynamic delivery...love those goose-bumpy harmonies! Very captivating composition! Thanks for this!
Can't wait to get settled into my new place and have my next studio set up so I can add to this one. (if you don't mind, that is.)
Just spent the morning dancing with my daughter to this groove. She's only four months old...but was totally movin' her feet and giggling to this.
...if anyone recognizes the drum track...let me know. :D
...this is open to collaboration if anybody wants to add anything. Let me know.
Nice! Great tune to start my day. Thanks.
Gotta agree with sister on this one. This tune is very well put together...and I REALLY dig the lyrics.
Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice groove. Shufflin beat...slow waves to wash over you...and a gradual build in composition. It's all about the journey. Diggin' it as usual.
Chillin' groove...dig it.
