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…

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.
Composed entirely in ABC; I harmed no keyboards while making this album. Converted to MIDI and arranged in Reaper, mastered in mono on an iPhone 'cuz I seem to have forgotten how to in Reaper, damn it, and ran out of time.
There's a historical marker near the side of the road on McCrea Hill just down the road. Jane gets a passing credit as the last line of the plaque reads "Sister Jane was martyred."
Neat little piece of American history you might want to delve…
Her Low Budget Nightmare : Track 7.
If you know the words, sing along!
I am going to post the lyrics here. They are being tabulated by a computer now and coming out on punch cards.
For my contribution to the RPM this year i thought i'd tell a little story......
Blank Episode 1
For those of us who think it impossible to stop these full throttle hands.

The Blue sky in my dreams…
This is the final track for the Metamorphis album, it is a musical soundscape, inspired by the Yorkshire Dales and the Moors. I have tried to paint a picture of the changing seasons and it should be taken in 1 minute sequences, 1 minute = 1 month…
I really enjoy the ascending "acoustic guitar" line about 20 seconds in (and all the sequenced falderal which surrounds it). Well, it isn't really falderal--I just can't think of a more suitable word!
Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
I keep hearing songs about meteor- or star-gazing after going out to view the Perseids on two recent nights. Hmmm. This song captures the experience perfectly in a decidedly folksy manner; unfortunately, real life had far less of the Venus action going on.
Cover of the Eels song Climbing to the Moon, from the Electro-Shock Blues LP.
I made a suggestion for Henwrench in the Songcrafters.org Suggestfest of an Eels song that he should cover. Then I went ahead and did one myself (a different one…
Comments on fallingupart's stuff
very cool. a lot like an old steve roach cd I have. only better :)
thanks! Yes I have that Luther Wright!
cool sounds here. Like flute/synth/perc mix!
The vocal kinda has a Bowie feel to it. This IS my favorite track. w;-)
What a great vocal! w;-)
Very 60's soundtrack for a movie w;-)
Love this...especially the percussion that you added! Very fine! w;-)
You had me from the first bar! Excellent! w;-)
Very cool sounds you got going on.
My bassist/friend Harv got one of those. They're so much fun for making noise.m
I've heard the rest of this CD and this is only the tip of a very, very, lovely, sonic iceberg!
Ah, thank you kindly. :)
This track is radically different from my others; please don't make it the only one you check out!
Loving this....... excellent

Did you try turning it off and then on again? Nice John Carpenter vibe on lo-fi ROMpler Casios? I see what you did there.
@G-Guest: A reply hefted into the past by six years: Just wait until you reach track 80.
Cool setting for an awesome poem. Thanks for sharing! :)
Interesting alternate tuning there. :)
That's some heavy-duty office intrigue. Dig the backwards guitar.
Interesting stripped-down version, Reg. Great authentic vocal. You weren't holding Mr. Waits prisoner in the basement, now, were you? ;)
Hey, what are you trying to pull here, mister? I already listened to this on RPM! Tee hee. Nice one. I'm ineptly playing along on harmonica. :)
But I don't know the words. :( It's catchy, though.
What's supplying the percussion? It sounds as if it's an old analog drum machine, but played live?
Laughing me arse off. Good stuff, Reg. :)
Brief, but awesome. Lovin' it.
1:46 OMFG. Nice harmonies followed with crazy hoedown riffing! 8) The lyrics are hilarious, too.
Hee hee hee! The band name is AWESOME. Lovin' it. Oh my--bluegrass hip-hop? Could it really be?

This captures perfectly how incredibly creepy falling in love can be.

In response to your rhetorical question, not mad at all. ;) I'm glad you did it.
James, why so many versions? I'm not complaining; they're all very good listening.
Oh, I'm not sure those are steel drums at all. What the heck are they? Awesome, in any event.
Good, solid blues! Dig it. Color me ignorant--I do not know the original. *googles* Oh, it's Clapton. I hang my head in shame! Great job, FDR.
