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)
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..
(original photo)
I picked up on one of Norm's wonderful grooves.
I added some bass, guitar, horns, and a basic drum track. Kicker and snare with a few cymbols. I didn't want to walk on Norm's fine, fine, percussion.
Thanks Norm for allowing me the opportunity…
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
A long over due changing of the acoustic strings led to this epic production. 40 tracks and 34 plug-ins. Good Gravy that's a boat load of tracks. All kinds of stuff happening.
Enjoy!
you spend your days and your night times

Nothing special, the last track I wrote and recorded for this unfinished CD.

dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…

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…
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.

A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

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.
This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…

Had to play it again....where's Grace.....Slick...

Mighty fine! Only a listener will I ever be, and that is a great thing.
I love what you've done here! Swanky groove!
Love it!
I'm flying!!!! Diggin' this groove! As would Greg Brady :)
Yeah, man! Great tune you put together here. It does have it all. I thought you had a tight interaction with analog and digital here. Right on!!
Badass! I don't know how else to explain this - Love it!
The whistle and the strump were tight - Very nice!
Love it!
Not sure how I missed this one. The key word here is beautiful - I agree. Wonderful piece - Straight to the PiePod
I just finished watching War of the Worlds, and now I'm scared shitless after listening to this! "Killer" stuff...
That, my friend, was freakin' awesome! You are one talented sumgum!!!
Ha, way to "get back into it" after your troubles! Awesome and hilarious at the sanme time!
Sweeeeeeet!!!! Wonderful playing, loved it!
This rules! Love the bass and that Beck/Zappa hybrid sounding guitar. Solid!!!
Devine and powerful!
Damn, I'm addicted now. This is killer shit!
This is awesome - I don't know if you remember that old Amiga game Captain Blood, but this reminds me of that a lot!
Solid!!

Yeah, this is pure gravy, bro! Spicy and lively. That cowbell is awesome and mixed perfectly!
