Haaa! I love the concept! The music fits perfect with the pondering of steel plates w/ small gussets and 3/8" holes....I deal with that jargon myself....great tune.

My only musical Christmas present. Tharek(Osckilo) sent me a wonderful Spanish/Arab sounding guitar track. All I had to do was sing. Sometimes that is the biggest treat of all, and I took full advantage of it. Thanks, bro!!
All done on the…
The "Ahhhhhs" (Sleeping with the Ghost)- it's just patience, close mic-ing and using your "head voice" (try and sing as much like a girl as you can lol). And then for "harder" sounds, "wail" at it.
Lots of voices with uniform performances produce "smooth" and "rich"; less and varied performances (as in not the same everytime) produce sharper sounds. Mix the two up as necessary in layers.
Also think about recording the "breath" in the notes as well.
You're actually getting VERY close to it with the vox on here - think about using different tones of voice and it will all become clear :)
Also there's a bunch of EQing tricks - a cut at 3K (Q 1.0) on the bvox will increase the breathy, soft sound (and keep them out of the way of the lead).
I'm not on top of it as usual, guys. But I did manage to let Greg Brady out of my basement and set him free. This is his testimonial regarding the incident. I hope he can forgive me.

Now, you see what you miss when someone isn't "followed"? lol
This is fab too.
Actually, I don't think I've listened to anything of yours since mebbe a year or so back on songcrafters. Well, I'll be back later and check it all out.
Actually, same here - hadn't clicked that button Follow button on yours either - fixed now!
Might as well listen to this again while I'm doing it lol
That chorus is brilliant. The backing vox, and then those descending chords at the end of it.
Back for another slice... and this is even better than I thought... but I've already clicked fave... typical
Tie the woman to the chair, stick the headphones on her and make her listen (that's what I do lol)
"I'll know it when I see it"
Is what she finally said
"If there was some other way
I'd do that instead"
And blindly without question
I followed down that trail
That led into the hidden night
Beyond the parted veil

This song…
Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
This is a pop dance tune about a woman seeking to find a good man to spend the rest of her life with, but she doesn't want a "wannabe", but she wants a real man with real love.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the song title. Anyway, this song is more about feeling I guess. At times the song feels happy, then creepy, then sad or dissonant. How does this song make you feel?! Thanks for listening!
Hey, bro - Good to hear from you! Yeah, the rhythm git was a little hot because I always plug it in direct - All I have to record with for electric songs is pretty much an old Epi SG and a Boss Micro BR. Gnasty's lead was mic'ed with an SM57.
Anyway, catch you on the flip!
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…

Awesome!! Great track man!
Yeah! Great tune. IAA
If you have Wilford Brimley's cell # I could use some help
Lovely work on this song guys. The interplay of the guitar is brilliant.
Nice / ThANk you !!!!!!

I like the Mark Lanegan style vox.
This is brilliant - I love the blend between your awesome guitar and Normy's fine cabinetry masterpiece!
Yes - I love it.
Oh, yeah! I dig it.
Deeelish - Very nice! Pro and radio worthy.
Love your stuff. Excellent songwriting.
Only a minute into it and already predetermined to be completely badass!!! Killer tune!
I love crazy improv fridays...
To bits, bro!
This is a great Fri afternoon jingle. Makes me want to drink a boatload of beer!
I'm really diggin' this album, bro!
Yes, NH is taking AT by storm! Very brisk and edgy one, bro! Got the blood pumping!

This sounds like it could be a lost song from "The Cooler" soundtrack. I dig it!
Not sure how I missed this - Very nice! Great harmonica and piano, and I like the guitar effect. It's similar to the "Grinder" patch on my Micro BR.
Yes, this is going to be a good one. Ha, B what? I just retune strings for that kind of thing!
Good stuff - Now I wish I had not listened to this first. I'll have to catch the album in its entirety asap!
Very swanky, bro - Love the theme too!
Always liked this one.
Diggin' through the archives!
