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…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
@jarvis & kirklynch - no notches, capo @ 3rd fret over the neck, then 2nd capo @ 5th fret under the neck on bottom 4 strings only, sort of an open Cmaj, standard tuning. The intro is an ebow, which I rarely use on acoustic. thanks yawl
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…

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.

Great sonic space and execution, BL will be favoriting/dl'ing this.
