2nd of the 24 songs I have recently written. Simple fluff that started as something different. I could have done a better job on it but as I've said before "I'm lazy" and if it seems just "OK" I'll pop it up there. Hope y' like it!!
Using pointless…
his song is just an experiment or at least started that way. Based on an "Ultrabeat" groove ( the only loops ) I added parts and sang an "Off the cuff" vocal and mixed and tweaked. Mostly Midi parts played through my cheesy Midi controller but…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....

Every so often when i'm thinking of something else a western song pops up as if there is a soundtrack to a movie running in the back of my head. I might have to gather em all up into a playlist some day.

I wanted to have a banjo fiddle tune but i still haven't learnt to play either instrument, so this is my famous 1 string banjo technique, with mandolin and guitar. It's style is inspired by meeting Morgan O'Kane and Ferd 4 last…
I'm sill looking for better lyrics for this but i like listening to it. EDIT i found them - see v2
It's been up at the Challenge site for a few days so i thought it ought to be up here too

An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
Sonically it's very good. Very clear and a good mix. Maybe it has a bit of harshness that could be EQ'd out but it might be hard to pinpoint. Once you do then that should be good from then on to always use that EQ. I would experiment until you get the sound you like. Still, it's a very good recording. And, another good song!

it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists

RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
RosaLinda, unbeknown to me took my song Ellis Road and made this fantastic song called "Tactual Sensation." I was very pleased!! Linda is from Sweden and now lives in Norway. She does not have an account here but perhaps soon. Anyway enjoy.
