This tune began my Instrumental journey and starts my 1st CD "Escape to Clifford". Using acoustic guitars and voicings, I hoped to create a musical soundscape.
Using a drum program, I wanted to incorporate the 'horns' from the Roland GR-55 (ala 'Chicago') so I began layering guitars to accompany the 'horns'. This is what I ended up with.

After I'd stopped performing, I began recording idea's and theme's I carried with me for years. This is from CD #2 ("In the Shade of a Shadow") and I began incorporating more sounds and colors with a Roland GR-55 gtr/synth system.

From my 3rd Instrumental CD "Excess Baggage", I began using the Roland GR-55 system to try and create a soundtrack-type composition. For this song, I tried to perform as a keyboardist w/ backing instrumentation.
Before I began my recording projects, I had put down a drum track, along with a bass track and walked away. Months later, I was recording with a Roland GR-55 gtr/synth system and started picking out sounds that I felt belonged in the theme and…
I'm not familiar with the show, but I did buy the soundtrack after stumbling upon Laura Palmer's theme a few years ago and loving it. This is very much in fitting with the tone of the album - fantastic.

Original track with a little bit of everything. Pop R&B vocals over Piano and Bass finishing with the craziest beat to date. Headphone only add to it!!! Enjoy.
This is a good song and sunged by Ayla during her music time. It is a song, you want to listen during the stressed time.
Message Ayla Stokes at my website<> to share it to other media.
Track 5 from my RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Inspired by Salvador Dali. Mostly.
Gravity failing
Cats float flailing
Furniture in midair
Salvador smiling
Rainbows crying
Clocks melting everywhere
Pachyderms stilted
Lovers…
Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.
With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
I uploaded this one earlier in the month with a rough track. Colin W. and Greg Connor helped me improve the arrangement and we recorded it at Winterland Studios this past week with some amazing equipment and awesome sound mixing support from…

Great use of the strings - captured some moving tones.
Last recording? I hope you mean "most recent" recording.
I love this. Totally cool.
I like this one! It was over too soon!
Calming
Cleared my head...caught me off guard.
Very cool!
Wildly inventive - I adore the low key acoustic guitar parts, particularly in the first minute or so. Lovely.
Dreamy guitar - lovely meditative flavour.
Exciting stuff! Love the energy!

This is really pretty.... I could listen all day to this
I never became a fan of the show, but I'm a fan of this music!!! Really cool vibe.
I'm hoping (1) that there are many 'Twin Peaks' fans here and (2) that they like what I've done ? All comments and criticisms are welcomed.
Beautiful piece of music. I like all the acoustic tones and textures.

I'm floating . . and I like it ! Nice job.
"C'mon in . . grab a toothpick" . . traditional Country flavored. Lyrically & Vocally strong, plus some nice sounding instrumentation.
It's special when you hear 'new' music and it speaks to you. Luv ur music !
3rd song in of your's and I'm hooked !
Well . . you have a 'new' fan ! I really dig your vibe.
WOW !! I really liked this ! I need to listen to more of your music :-)
I liked the way you allowed this tune to build. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Wow ... I've not heard anything like this ! Very inventive, slightly strange; yet it still possesses a mainstream comfort.
Very nice sounding recording, along with strong vocals . . what's NOT to like ?
