Where the wind spins the turbine…
Yes I saw a chupacabra.

Hello Little One
Hello little one
Glad I ran into you
Are you some kinda freak
Or did you escape from a zoo?
Ears like a fox, look like a dog
About as much hair as you'd…

Lyrics:
Lord Jestocost
She’s a cat and she’s a girl
But she’s not equal in this world
I am lord of all I see
This…
A little birthday uke ditty, bookended by two improvs
So this is year 61
Made it this far
Let’s have some fun
Keep looking forward don’t look back
Time has a way of keeping track
Of joy and pain
We all live for love
Sun or rain
This…
First in a planned series of American traditional folk tunes presented as simple guitar instrumentals.
Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along:
Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy?
I…
Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
Year: 1999
Album:
Land of the Lost
Artist's description:
Forgive me my voice!
This may be the most difficult vocal part I have written and tried to sing - but the vocal dissonance IS intentional.
Everything here (except vocals of course…
Yeah B, weird. If you look at comments, the picture is not available and there's a big white box. If you view more, the picture is present, and also a slice of it at the top of the screen. Interesting bug.
I loaded Sonar with a couple audio tracks + echo and recorded my wife's seagull acoustic via a dean markley soundhole pickup.
After the take I multiplied a couple times and edited a touch.
This is really just a test for a planned piece like…

Outstanding.
Oh, this is masterfully played. Just lovely.
Okay, this is just beyond lovely.
Dude, this is great! Looooooove the energy!
"We went away to find ourselves and came back to someone else." Great line. This track is not what I expect from you.
Like it... even made me pick up my acoustic :)
Sounds great man. Very peaceful.
Very nice!
Strong attack
Serenaded me lovely, there.
Nice!
Just gave this a listen while working on the site! Nice playing!

Badass, yawl. I can attest BG is microtonal having seen him, his strings bends are often slightly sharp, an amazing gtrist when he wants to be.
Bowed/ebowed mando, how about that. Great sounds and arrangement.
I like the rhythmic dynamics on this 'un and how it floats in and out of a sonic haze.
which button to push..
This has a bizarre carnival feel, Mephisto's merrygoround? Calms down to a nice resolution at the end.
Loop on man! Meow.
awesome, thanks for the tip. Been looking for timestretch software like this!
This is trippy good. Like Santana in a blender.
Wow. The amazing glu has a tune with that same title. I wonder where he's been? Miss him.
Bump for the newbies to enjoy this track!
Like all the tonal contrast going on, and the analog (?) synths.
Yes it was a longer improv, which I edited down to the best bits. Thanks much!
Ever heard of Robert Wyatt? Very much that style. Good job.
Great electro-jazz. Cool.
Yeah B, weird. If you look at comments, the picture is not available and there's a big white box. If you view more, the picture is present, and also a slice of it at the top of the screen. Interesting bug.
Great sonic space and execution, BL will be favoriting/dl'ing this.
