where'd my comment go??? i compared you to a meeting of the Beatles and Trent Reznor. but with a genius of all your own.

something is so Beatles about this. i imagine Paul collaborating with Trent Reznor. i hope you don't mind being compared to other artists. other geniuses.

this is the trailmix i want to bring with me through the circles of hell.

This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…
Yay, the Lennon filter!! :)
Interesting how a song evolves from
one idea into another by some drastic
yet simple change like attenuating

Enjoying your mandolin playing!
I have a 100yr old heirloom here
but it needs some new tuning heads
and strings. I haven't used it in
a couple of years and I'm dying to
get it going again.
i should rename this track... there. it became the sound track to a short film i produced called "Ztileeb". a film i'd be happy to share with anyone should they wish to see it.
i've often used self recorded ambient sounds in my tracks. this…

This song is nostalgic for me. I was in the jungle exactly one year ago... every night I would sit on the deck of the cabin and stare into the milky way.. Clear Sky; Bright Stars..

I was thinking 'bout what I lack

WOW. How did I miss this???? I LOVE IT! Melody and Rhythm... the different movements... ugh! This is great! Awesome piece... it lingers in each motif for the perfect amount of time... Seriously, I would double fav if I could. Brilliant work.
A coop between me and another alonetoner and a Chill productions member, Captain Kirk. Original melodic idea and lyrics by me, guitar, piano, final mix, final composition and mastering by Kirk and the beautiful singing is done by his wife…
