Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
Cool bouncing groove, with interruptions that are so interesting they almost interrupt my breath - slippery punchy syncopated chords - all kinds of melody everywhere - the way the sounds sit in and around each other - really, really fun!
Thanks, bro.
Everything I do is recorded with a Boss Micro BR, either plugged in to the guitar jack or using the built in mic for acoustic/vox. Sometimes I'll upload the tracks to audacity for further mixing, but not very often.
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Right then, for the last few days I have been playing with a new program. ableton live 8. very different from what I have been using and am still trying to get it all sorted. This is my first effort with it and also my first ever go using vst…
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…

A rewrite and expansion of one of my original songs, from a time when I was distrustful of things like drum samples and dynamics. ;P I don't mind discouraging those ninety-nine out of a hundred listeners with noisy glitchiness if it suits the…
I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…
I've always wanted to make a sexy song, I think
couples need to get closer now, more than ever.
We're only human with a spirit inside us...so
lets all make the right choice:) All the vocals
are my own and its one of the hardest songs I've
ever…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
Compositionally this song started out with the drum pattern and grew from there. I'm not sure why I chose the title 'Mad Man' but in some ways I thought it was fitting.
Anyway, this song is dedicated to crazy geniuses whose academic work is…

This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You…

Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
My first composition that uses an odd time signature for a few measures. My drum fills are also more elaborate. It's just a little tune to bob your head to, tap your toe, you know, the good stuff!
nice title- nice groove -yeah. 1:37 makes me smile big ; D
Thanks for the comments/interest.
I am teaching some art and music to little munchkins three and a half days per week.
For years, I taught visual arts studies o the university level.
More soon, friend.
One of my first favorite songs...I had this idea floating around for years, even tried it with the band in late 98-99. This 2001 recording comes closest to capturing what I hear in my head.

So glad you kept it simple...a touching tribute.
Mysterious butter! And now I feel odder than I already do.. :) Killer track!
I might as well favorite everything you do. This one's a real interesting listen. Nice groove and energy with wonderfully beautiful dissonance.

brings me memories of some retro film noirs from the 50s - and the mismatch with the kid(?) voice is excellent..
Matches my mood tonight. Solid sounds.
