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)

3 tracks with my strat copy + NI guitar rig

Do or die, that’s what Everyone here is…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.

I knew it!! There had to be a snap at the end, no question about it. A very accurate depiction of one of the little b*stards sneaking around my kitchen, eventually meeting up with its impending doom.
Only peanut butter never worked for me - I always ended up with a bare, unsnapped trap. Always had to go with american or cheddar packed tightly around the trigger :)
I've actually watched it a couple times. If I only had some for this wonderful soundtrack!
This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I had to play 18 holes of golf to get my hands…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…
Sank a solid 17.5 hours into this one, so there won't be a complete album out of this 24 hour day.
Had the structure floating around for a year; this is my first stab at it. There are definitely huge revisions in store.
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
Some more good fun with Brian Bazeley and Jarvis.
I added some drums and some horns to Jarvo's noodling.
There's probably room for vocals if anyone is feeling froggy.
Thanks Brian and Jarvis
Cant sleep....
Thought I'd write a Tune....
Had to be fairly Quiet on this, so as not to wake the Baby...
Hope you Like it.

Oh man, you're out on a limb, Love it..... is this from Woodstock '69.......
Solid groove, free lyric phrasing. Killer combo, oh slow slide turnaround this rocks........Steve

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 !!!!!!

Killer guitar!! Kind of as a "There goes my girl" feel to it. Very cool!
As badass as electro can get! Pro and right on the money.
Wow.... WOW!!!!! I love this - 'Bout all I can say, bro! You rule!
Fantastic, bro! Great vocals - You sound like Anthony Keidis!
What this tune needs is more mousetrap!
Hey, you're back! Cool tune, bro!
I like the Moody Blues sounding wind on this. Very cool.
Very cool - I love it!

Freakin' cool, bud! Definitely Christopher Walken "More computer cabinet!" style! And, sweet debut on the bongos!! Norm will be proud!
Do it, Dave!
You cooked up a great tune with your new mandolin! Another example of your songwriting genius my friend!
Elegant melody - Well put together.
Sweet!
Awesomus!
Spartan with a complicated sound - That is pretty damn cool.
I love the amped open sound you guys have here. Very cool!
Very intense playing - I like it. Sounds like you may have had Stuart Copeland and Andy Summers locked away in your basement for this session as well.
Beautiful tune, bro! Love that picking, too. You've built up quite a set - Ear candy!
Great tune with cool guitar and vox. Love it. The percussion was somewhat distracting, however.
