A not very cheerful Christmas song I wrote for the RPM Holiday Challenge. Based on the classic Arthur C. Clarke science fiction story "The Star". http://faculty.winthrop.edu/kosterj/engl510/star.htm
Light years out and an eternity back to…
This has several riffs that remind me of one of my favorite guitarists: Robin Trower. I have several of his CD's from the 70's, and you play as well as he did.

Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples.
Boring technical details:
Puremagnetik voxbox micropak came with a bunch of vocal clips. I put them all into live and gave them all follow actions to play…
Two jigs I wrote after returning from Ireland. Sorry for the horrid splice between the two tunes...I'll fix that when I get a chance. Penny whistle, mandolin, acoustic guitar.
Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later

Wow, what a sound. No idea whatever the "About" means, but sounds great to me.

Sonic Mood is a cool program and I like what you did with it!
Love it! Bluegrass with a British accent! Oh that's right, Americans are the ones with the accent.
I DO like it, but then I go for these kinds of guitar oddities. "Talent enhancer"? I want one of those.
Killer! A nice acoustic ride!
Hey Rick! Where you been? These tracks sound great! Drop me a line when you can!
Like the loose feel of this one!
Makes me thirsty for a blackntan!
You got daughter Brit singing this! (cough!)
I love this whole album. Hope you and yer bass are feeling better Rick!
it was a very good week for you, I see!
It's a rainy day on planet Texas, and I've been listening to A-tone on the BIG stereo. This playlist fit the bill nicely!
Had to click play on this because of the title. Glad I did. A delightfully convoluted track.
FYI-Removed the psychedleacoustic vol. 4 playlist and put the songs that had been favorited into the best of playlist. thank ye
Is it classical or jazz? Love music like this that blurs those genre lines.
Very cool. Somebody been to the crossroads.
Freaking brilliant remix!
Rock on with that DL4 dude!
Manoman. The mixture of sounds blows me away!
I like this..zz.z.zzzzz
Wifey says this sounds like Bette Midler. I say naw, better. The horn section is genius too.
