I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…
@ fallinupart, just sharing the progression of this tune from the beginning. And in the process driving alonetoners mad! Lol! Thank u for the comments and listens...again and again. ,)
FDR emerged from his cave one morning and took a stroll,it was a blustery day and his ears blew back like two streamers in the wind. He went down into the woods and there in the dappled sunshine he saw something gleaming through the…

(ca 1998) A sort of sappy ragtime ballad thing. Composed on a Roland JV-30 using Cakewalk. This version was rendered with TiMidity++ & freepats from a recovered MIDI file. I don't know what happened…
Dug up an old one. I'm sure 'True Blood' had something to do with this. All I do know I was just getting over Flu, hence the voice !!!! No more Flu please, twice in my life is enough !!!!
Why?
Oh' I am not so ready in my heart
But I will reach for closeness to the wind
Fear stops what we feel.
I feel i know you now.

Let's talk of all the things we need to say
No whispers will suffice in our abode
Only song of what we…
Jip1965 came round to kick my ass into gear and played a bit of rhythm i did the rest and then sent it off to the good Lady Jane to do her stuff and very nice stuff indeed! Cheers Me Lady!!! x
A mash/add-on for the Sound-In event this week. Took Glenn Smith's bass piece ("Enter the Ice") from last week, added Shane Cadman's chimes then played some "frozen" guitar over that.
This is probably some of the most original music I have heard. It has alot of recognizable elements that meld together really well. Blows me away everytime.
Waiting for something that would be: familiar feeling, isn't it? We look forward to when she comes back, look forward to when the morning comes; waiting to stop the rain (or when will finally rain...).
Life itself is a... waiting?

Hey James ... another great track ...sounds progressive ...thank you for your feedback on my song! ...It's so hard to get your music out there ...
digging the off-rhythms juxtaposition with the lead
Pretty cool ...better voice than Hendrix and Dylan ....great guitar also
Ahh Yes.
Good one James, more nerve than me, and a damn better player.
One of my favourite songs, nice one!

James, why so many versions? I'm not complaining; they're all very good listening.
Another fine version lol!
..those eight fingers on your left hand come in useful, don't they, James? ...awestruck..
Great track! Play it, James!
This just keeps getting better & better! What a brilliant track! w;-)
Elements reminiscent of Zawinul, Mahavishnu, and Santana all merged into something else. NIce.

I dont want to be farted out of a worm hole....haaaa! This just floored me man! Epic!
Contnuing the sabbatical with FDR...........hey hoaa!
This is genious. Love it.
Epic track! Full bore!
:) genious.
Totally helped ease a restless mind. Thank you.
This would make great scoring work. Nice creation.
This is tops. Keeps the interested very similar to Giraffage's stuff.
Totally whacked , had me smilin the whole time.
Nice and rich sound with those stereo guitars and layered vocals.
U have a signature style goin on with that drop tuning, stacked vocals and snappy percussion..
Very hip...could even go in the direction of heavy distorted guitars but stands on its own as is.
Instant fave! Listening while making some Voodoo pancakes....hey voodoo chile!
Real great song and performance. Your lyrics are like a work of art. This creme of crop.
Somebody done spank the booty off that bass line!
Experimental and trippy. Picturing some sort of ritual in the desert. All the dissonant chord tones work great.
This is probably some of the most original music I have heard. It has alot of recognizable elements that meld together really well. Blows me away everytime.
A higher musical consciousness. Meditative.
That is a very strange sound there..cant plac e what it is but its strange and beautiful at the same time.
