Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
Did this many years ago. It came together very quickly. There are know synths, all guitars and backwards vocals, sped up vocals, detuned vocals.....whacked sounds. I wrote the lyrics on the spot. I love its deep personal message...lol!
This was a collab between my old friend Joe and I from a couple years ago. I recorded the basic track and sent it to him so he could play the main melody/ guitar solo over it. I took the ending of the guitar solo section and reversed it to give…

Haven’t uploaded any material in ages! I have been building custom guitars which has been taking up some of my spare time. This track features my first guitar build which I am playing over a backing track.
Recorded this one as a test track to sync with the video I shot for it. I am not happy with the computer virtual amp guitar sound on this. I will re-record this and mic my amp for that real cranked 100 watt tube sound.

That’s some nasty slide you’re putting down. Ripping it with the Epiphone! Getting right down to the gristle...
...and thanks for listening to my songs and commenting.
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…
I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
I get scared sometimes when I'm alone too much & I think about the ways people who have taken their own lives affect me. I guess it's easy to understand that it's not a matter of finding a reason to do it; it's a matter of getting help before any action is taken, & somehow getting through the quicksand long enough to find a reason to be OK 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…
Warning: Synthesized Acoustic Instruments
(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.
Lay
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?

Good all the way around! This is a top track.
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.

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.
