Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
Kirk, my name is Don Powers, I live in weston, on 5th st. Long time ago I stopped out side your house because I saw you playing through you window. We talked for a while then one other day you let me come in and I was going to try to jam with you , a mistake as I am no where near the musician you are. I just stumbled on to your web site. Glad I did. enjoyed listening. Maybe someday before I croke I will improve enough on one of the instruments I try to play, to get another chance to jam with you. Nice site.

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Some friends throw other friends going away parties.
Songwriting friends say "hey, what a great idea for a song."
Tech notes:
I've been losing my voice today and ended up having to go back and do retakes to try to get as close to on-pitch as…
Some experimentation that started with sandbags saying that he was looking for a wood sound. I responded with marimba plus monster reverb... and I quickly noodled together an ambient thing.
I wondered aloud whether I was done or should continue…
Slack key guitar and baritone ukulele.
Hula version.
Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua is about the beautiful flowers (Lehua) of Pauoa. The double entendre (kaona or hidden meaning) involves a girl with swaying hips.:)
This is great. It's like it can't decide if it's Jazz or 20th century classical. Reminds me a bit of the first Mahavishnu record without the frantic aspect. That's it- I'm swiping some chord voicings from you for new inspiration
Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
Alright, so it turns out that I lied.
THIS song is actually #60 of 2009. I forgot about how I turned the instrumental "lucid traum" into the spoken word 'drama' "wake me up" for a class project.

The Polka is thought to have originated in eastern europe by the Czechs. The people of west kerry in Ireland took the polka into their heart and are renowned for their own polkas. The two polkas in this recording are known to me as "John Ryans…
Yeah, so I finally consolidated my music collection over from my other mac and found my grand total for 2009.
This is my 60th track of 2009.
I wrote my first track for a MIDI class in the fall of 1999 (did I mention I'm a 10th year sophomore…
Yeah- what Yelyah said- doesn't sound like a demo to me. I especially like those little crunchy sounding percussion parts buried back there. Nice stuff!! Wish I had your engineering chops :)
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Made this over the last couple of days. all original no samples. Done with GR20 guitar synth, GT10 pedal board and Korg emx synth.
feedback welcomed thanks
Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.

Great playing and mixing.

Nice, clean and funky.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
