This was a one of the versions of Stay I was working on from a year and a half ago. I put a mic in a narrow hall way closet and went in recorded the guitar and vocal simultaneously. Hoping to get a break in the action and get one of my new songs…

Cool bowling alley reverb sound . Ooow, nice pan on the drums.
This is working for me! Iike this a lot. Oh, here comes Sierra with
Our drinks. Later mate
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…
Okay , this may be my last Hendrix cover for awhile. I have been itching to record a few new original songs that are waiting in the wings. These covers were fun to do and I discovered alot about the songs I didnt no before. On this one I added…
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.

An old recording from 1997 done on a Tascam 4 track. Converted to digital from casette so the recording is warbly in spots.
I am currently working on some new songs so I decided to throw so oldies but baddies out there.

Wonderful cover of this tender love long. :) We always shoot the ones we love. Great mix, instrumentation and vocals. That 3:40'ish bit was very inventive.

This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…

Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
This is a love song I just wrote. It's the first normal love song I've written since "Western Hills" (i.e., three years). Writing love songs is kind of risky. If it doesn't work out- you're stuck with singing a song with all these unusual associations…

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
Jeff's tone on this and another one of our trax remind me of Adrian Belew's Rhinoscirus. kOss pHactor is a NinJam based trio of Jeff Duke, Ray Istorico and Jim Goodin, fusing electronics and improvisation in to their sound canvases.
Another demo (no vocals) from 2011.
some words:
Standing there, a victim of red tail lights
A witness to pointless fights
A guardian of fragile fright
A savior who’s with you tonight
Imagine a better place
Imagine a better life…

I've gone a bit Bluesy on this one i got the French Horns out i blame watching BBC4...anyway hope you enjoy....

rpm #7,, i think this will be the overture, to a small midi orchestral suite, which i hope will finish up as my remaining 3 pieces for this years rpm, but well see how that goes,, thanks for all the helpful comments i have received on this project…

Walking on the wire

Awesome.

Loving it ......Got the dancing slippers on shuffling in the kitchen....beautiful it of work.......
Faved in seconds! Beautiful!
I like the FX on the drums ... what a cool song. Really enjoyed ...

Very cool cover - your voice sounds excellent! Great cheeky delivery!
Fine tribute. A sadness we all share sooner or later.
...something very Dylan about it. Especially like it where you break it down to just your voice and the arpeggios.
Really like this one. So many references. The Band, Queen. Nice vocal. Love the progression.
Great guitar harmony work.
Freaking awesome guitar tones you've got over here; keep rocking!

Oh man ....nice song. Seen it up the other day and did not gvet a chance to listen.
Nice lead breaks. Like the screamin wha.
Love all the acoustics....nice playing ...its a breath of fresh air. More listens on this side of the pond.
Impressive song writing. A special one right here.
That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
Trippy greatness.
Sweet track. Love the mix on this. Nicely done.
Reminds me of Cheap Trick. Especially when the synth comes in. Some good ground work for some vocals.
Deadly dropped tuning riffage.
Yes. A heavy Cars influence, even if unintentional still very cool.
Big sound. Very nice mix as well.
Grizzly vocal. The horns fit perfect.
Love this...nice colors and textures...a sonic painting.
Like this...really focuses on your voice. Love the stacked harmony with Sis in there. Reminds me of Guennivere by CSNY. Beauty of a song.
I like the mood of this tune.
If you do not do work for film....u should. Very nice piece here.
Damn good again.
So nice to hear this at 5:30am. Way to start the day.
Heartfelt song.
Sweet....love the blend of vocals.
