If I'm not mistaken, 'Resurgam' is Latin for I will rise again. (Incidentally, it is also the title of a very compelling piece of music by the British brass band composer Eric Ball.)
I dedicate this too to Dr. David Ingram, the truly wonderful…
I can see three drunk people stumbling home after a long night at a smoke filled, dimly lit bar. Puddles of rain in the street...trying to hold each other up as they make their way home.
Nice work.

This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
Pennywhistles: Doug Sparling
Bodhran: David Shaughnessy

A set of reels (the first being "For the Sake of Old Decency," picked up from a Michael Tubridy album of the same name) I put together one evening. You…

A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....

I couldn't get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone.
So sit back and relax, don't shower or shave and have a beer!

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Jason Sloan and I recorded this track in March 2010 as an improvisation in preparation for our performances on The Vigil all-night music festival at MICA. Jason describes the session:
"Erik and I come from very different backgrounds in our approach…
The salient lines in this traditional song, for me, are these:
"... and still I hold, / that the time will come / when he and I will be as one ..."
What need is expressed in this "holding"? Against what, does our singer hope? The resistance…
I love you. And I'm watching you... :)
All one take into the Boss MicroBR hole and cleaned up a little. I'm the red headed stepchild of recording...
Love You
Some people want to know you
Wanna put their arms around you
Buy you a drink…
Two-part tune. The first part is "Untitled," and the second part (based on the last bit of "Untitled") is "Sugar." We went for the slow version for the record. We also play "Punk Sugar" and have messed around with "Country Sugar" and "Reggae…
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
This is the first of several songs in a collaboration with Laura Kepner-Adney. Laura has a beautiful voice and a gift for arranging music. It is an exciting project with more to come.
Featuring Ryan Anderson on harmonica.
