@Kavin: Thanks for listening. I love the synth engine for the Akai SS25. I wish they'd work the bugs out of the sequencer! (Yep, it's buggy, but that didn't stop me from doing an entire album with it.)
Mostly Monotron (yep, that little thing I'm holding up in front of my face). Vocal, clarinet, soprano recorder, and acoustic guitar. The percussion is also Monotron.
I decided to make this a tribute to the late, great Mick Karn after realizing…
I got tired of playing by the rules. (The album concept was using only portable instruments which I could carry in one trip.)
This track uses every functional piece of gear I own at least once. In no particular order . . . TR-606, TB-303…

A little four-bar, 21-second joke. It's all woodwinds and a tiny bit of sampled junk percussion.
Mr. Schaum was the band teacher when I was in elementary school. Hmmm, or was it Mr. Schram? I don't recall now.
very nice album. i love synthesizers and wooden flutes. and how you have combined them so brilliantly. you inspire me to learn to play the navajo flute i bought many years ago... :)
this one is my favorite track on the album - excellent work!
@oldrottenhead:
You can DO the bump, but I would imagine that this is not the popular song to which to do it. I'd suggest pressing the heart-with-the-little-green-plus-sign button (as did I). And listen 50 times. Yup, that ought to do it. :)
Well, I play this in Fokker 7-limit Just Intonation on the piano and I didn't attempt to try to sing as high as Robert. So that makes the vocals hard to nail right there. And I played it over many times the past 3 days and my voice got worn out…
Nobody can follow Plant, especially on this one, so why even try? I ought to dare my local classic rock station to play this version and tell them I'll stop listening if they won't do it. Heh heh. That'll fix 'em, won't it?
I dig the improv at the end; it makes me think that perhaps I should do my own "New Age" style cover of Stairway. Hmmm.
Here's the Who classic Regged a little.....I was practising this at full volume then realised the window was open so a bit of an impromptu concert going on in the street which would have sounded ok for the main but i'm not so sure the backing…
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
I just got Logic Pro X today. This track is the result of my efforts to learn how to use it. It's also the first time I've gotten the guitar and bass out of the closet since I recorded 8-Bit Time Machine.
Very nice. I quite enjoy the progression of moods in this track. It begins sounding as if it's a balls-out rock anthem. I kept waiting for the screamy vocal which never appeared and instead the tune rewarded me with the nice electric piano part brought to the fore. :)
More like a cover of the bauhaus cover of Bowie's song.
Recorded last night in under two hours from starting programming the drums to posting. Recorded for songcrafters.org's Bowie Fest.
Your mention of Bauhaus covering this sent me to YouTube to find a scary young shirtless Peter Murphy singing this. Now that took five seconds off my life, I tell ya.
Um, never mind. Nice cover.
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, ‘cause I want you with me.
Take your time, but hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, for a warm memoria
Memoria [x3]
Come to…

i heard my darling snarling
and our little stomachs churning

some kind of verbal warning
but i found out in the morning

i heard the pitter-patter

I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.
" "Jabberwocky"

All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Beware the Jubjub…

Been browsing the (many!) tracks on your album and like this one. I love my Synthstation/iPhone/iPod/music apps!
:-)
:-)
sounding (doh!)
a great confection from unlikely souding ingredients
I've got the album going as I work on homework. Sounds great!

wonderful - mw
Very cool; Peter Hammill fan? DaPrato
~magnetique stripe; a quietus as final cut~
hypnotic just grabbed me and wouldnt let go.
Well Done.
this is neato! builds very nice. good mix.
What a beautiful album - mystical and inspiring. Some wonderful, powerful creations. Will be back to listen many times. Thanks!
Agree with Djork, liken the ticking wood and the flute sounds...great stuff!
Supremely inventive!
Magic man.
Wow...brilliant!! *settles in for the rest!*

Hey, this sounds like The Who, Reg. Oh slap my face with a pickle! It IS The Who. It's called a cover. Silly me. Nice "Regging." :)
Ouch. I bumped my head against my monitor while bobbing it in time to the opening riff.
Oh, hahahaha! Genius. ". . . complete with sound effects . . ."
Like the crunchy drums. Box or samples? Also dig the LFO-modulated filter cutoff bass. (At least that's what I think it is!)
Catchy!

Interesting take on a classic Zep chestnut. :)

Heh heh. Great "misheard" lyrics. Of course, I always insisted upon mishearing "memoria" as "mammary, uh!" ;)
Hilarious.
Awesome lyrics. I need to give this another listen soon!
I really like the bit about 1:50. The vocal reminds me a bit of Bowie and early Gabriel.
Ya had me with the first lick. Nice. I love this song and this is a great cover of it. :)

Nice nouveau-psychedelic dub, a suitable accompaniment to this strange little poem I've always loved. :)
@slugg: Heh heh. I see what do did there. Thanks for listening!
