Just a quick test riff to throw at bandmates and see how badly we can mangle it into something better. hey, if you dig it, swipe it and use it!

Retaking coursera's intro to jazz improv, since my connection failed for two weeks last run at it setting me way behind! Just a quick n dirty little improv in C Harmonic Minor with jaunts out into other scales and minimal chromaticism. One take…

Another scratch track song idea to share with band mates. Cheapo keyboard drums and one guitar, not produced, not practiced, not written... shows doesn't it? Hey, eventually this might be a real song!

Just a quick roughed in idea to share with band mates. Cheapo keyboard drums and two guitar parts, no production to speak of... now I actually have to learn the damn parts and figure out where they really go.

This is what happens when your jazz improv course leaks into a heavy rock song... dunno if I'd really want to play this one live, but if you can use it, feel free! Another one for bandmates to see if we can use it or not!

More new song concepts for bandmates to play around with and see if it's a usable idea or not. Hey, did I actually tune the guitar this time??!?!

Just a weird exercise to see if I can do this... you can too! starting just under the C on the circle of fifths, using drop D tuning, its a repeating pattern, all the way up the neck... it wont take much for you to figure it out once you realize…

A new theme for one of the Incantations songs we have been working on... this music box theme still isnt the right tone, but it feels more like a typical music box line than the other one (which isnt up here). I think the guitar is still out…

New version for the band to have a spin of... now with vocals (and out of tune guitars). One of these days I will actually upload a whole song! No... really!

My horrible first attempt at jazz improv. Really, if you are just cruising alonetone for something to listen to, this would not be it. Thanks to reviewers from coursera.org in Gary Burton's Jazz Improv class for your time!

This weeks assignment on delay. This one goes a bit off the course assignment into a unique psycho-acoustic delay technique called the "Haas Effect". Not only does it add a "big, spatial sound" to a mono recording, it also is part of why our…

My assignment for Coursera's Introduction to Music Production, week 2 - "Editing an imperfect audio performance to correct the timing", and Boy Howdy! Do I ever do a lot of this!! Thanks for listening!

A quick, 5 minute audio lesson for the Coursera.org class Introduction to Music Production covering techniques to record voice, with an emphasis on use for the home podcaster. Recorded with a Shure SM 57 into a PV-6 mixer and edited with Reaper.

Just a quick riff concept for sharing with the band mates... hey, if you can swipe it, torque it into something you can use, feel free!

Just a quick render example for a friend, sm57 into Reaper, bit of Danzig's shopping list, bit of sibilant phrasing.

Just another fragment concept to share with band mates. Move along. Unless you wanna swipe the riff, then feel free! Get me a link so I can see what you did with it if you do though! (oops, cut off the first bit last time)

A new take on a test with Carrier Signal... crap, timing's off!! This is the absolute upper limit of my playing speed, so its sloppy as January snot.

Every cranky middle aged guy's theme song in a way. Nothing fancy, craptastic (tm) keyboard drums, a couple guitar tracks and some yelling and complaining.

just a quick bump for omnifrog
