Wow, I'm loving your ambient stuff especially! This is wonderful! She's walking along the shore at dusk, contemplating if there is anywhere else to go...ever... *goes off in to dream*
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
Intriguing, love the ascending motif where you play guitar along with the synth bells, very dreamy sequences. I'm not sure I like the breathy hiss that comes and goes in some spots (side-effect of guitar effects, or separate synth?) but the rest of this is great.
neat. Difficult mood change at 1:55 ish... and it's smoothed over really well. Ah, back down at 2:18 . You keep the motion swirly and ambient. the pans on the different instruments keeps the mix fascinating. Keep working on these guys... I love it.
Goodness... very nice bright gitz. Makes me want to pick one up and play along. Such a welcoming tune. Wow... I'm not usually much for single instrument tracks. You've got so much expression in that guitar. Wait a sec... do I hear breaths? I'm sure you wanted that in the mix, right? Neat. The human feel is great!
That's a good pan on the gitz and pads. The bass is perfectly mellowed out, but present. I really like this mix. The drums seem to have just the right touch of reverb. Simple too, not distracting. Hrm. The composition is swell, the subtle key change is good at shifting the mood. You might want to try adding subtle taps and deep, barely audible thumps to the drums. But then, I think you can tell I'm biased there. I love percussion. I enjoyed this blend. Perhaps you'll get a chance to experiment more and throw in several more atmospheres.
Wow... you really laid some layers on the gitz. I enjoy the filter on the bell tone, but the feedback/Q/resonance on the filter is a little strong for my tastes. Still, the color is welcome. The mix is pretty focused... too. You might want to bring out the drums or pads a little more here and there. That's some... DANG... that's great layering tho. You gotta keep that up. Keep studying that, because some of these builds have me going back to school. Very nicely chilled... very well done. Thanks for sharing, friend.
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
music by Bryan Baker & Joe Maki. Rhythm guitar, electric piano, synth strings, percussion, drums, vocals by Bryan Baker. Lead guitars, bass by Joe Maki.
Something you don't often hear from me and that's
straight drummin'. On this track I left the
original L/R kit track because it just sounded
more raw and nasty. Listen close and you'll hear different levels on the high hat. Plus, you can…
This is inspired by Frippitronics. Frippontroncis is I call non-traditional mood music invented by Robert Fripp master guitarist for King Crimson. It involves loops of sustained guitars, in this case using an e-bow. I usually do one of these…
Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
Well I *had* intended to try doing something different this week.
So technically I succeeded.
It's solo piano again, but I had to teach my left hand how to play this somewhat syncopated bass line, before I could actually compose against it…
When I uploaded this last night I thought it was a failure, this morning I am not so sure. I've just listened to it again and, while it fails to live up to my expectations when I started, there's something about it that I like.
The initial…
Dark and sinister indeed! I like the use of your voice and the fact this it's incoherent makes it better. OOOOOH! That laughter at the end just caps it off!

War is tough. War is tough on everyone. and War has it's dues. So without further ado I entreat our men and women of the US Military an awesome Electronica piece that will rock your heart out.
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.

Wow, beautiful, intricate piece - caught me off guard.
I listened to a couple pieces and I'll certainly listen again. Nice work, great sound.
love the guitar. very airy.
very nice
Very beautiful. I won't insult you with the comparisons to other players. I'll just say that you're up there with them.
you must be my alter-ego (whatever that means)
Nice guitar sound! Fine tune!
Amazingly beautiful playing.

Great song man!
Really beautiful!
Nice one man! Love the drums!
Yes- Very different for you and very cool. Love this sort of thing!
What a riot! That had to have been big fun to do!
Lovely meditative quality about it!
Nice!

Yes! Very good tune!
Hooked after the first 10 seconds!
Beautiful man! You must be recording at least partly using a pickup- has that distinctive sound
Lovely layered vocals!
Love cool! Love those harmonics in the outro. Great stuff man!
Had a productive weekend I see! Really nice. Your tracks all have such a distinctive sound
Nice moody one guys!
Nice! Intense!
Haunting!
I can't imagine what it took to put this together. It's so dense, but it works really well!
I'm loving the way this is slowly developing at about the 5 and 6 minute marks. I'm still jealous of your clean guitar sounds!
Wow! Great stuff! This would be a blast to improvise over
