for the 2009 RPM Challenge album "Sabbatical"

For the RPMC 2009 album "Sabbatical" From a news story last year about UFOs over Phoenix. They turned out to be some lighted balloons some guy had set aloft. So this tune about UFO paranoia.

More testing. An improv demo for the Breaking Light project for the RPM Challenge.

Another fingerpicky gospel instrumental. From the old days.

A fingerpicky tune from the old days. Tuning is DADF#AD Capo III.

A fingerpicky tune from the old days. The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.

For the RPMC Whale Challenge. All sounds guitar. An experiment with Audacity and using Macbook internal mic for room mic.

A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.

An Etta Baker (1913-2006) tune.

This is doomgloomboom reprocessed; backwards, without phone message and piano.

There is always hope.

A Tonefreak colab from a few years ago. Written by my good friend Dennis Coble. He suggested I give it a reggae treatment. Voila!

A snippet from the Khachaturian ballet suite.

Pedal steel dreamscape and silly panic from the answering machine.

Industrial strength firecracker

Didj, koto, african percussion kit midi

Sometimes when I take a walk in the woods I get lost. The organ sound is from a bootleg recording I did of a Carl Stone concert.

The tabla percussion loops are from the great Zakir Hussein.

A happy accident.
