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…
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!
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 has got me all nostalgic!!!!
Sega Master System....

The game Composers were Awesome Musicians!!
Little to work with... But Still made it sound Good!
8-Bit Goodness!!!!

Haha. I used some samples of disco drums from my old keyboard for my latest track. They might be overcompressed. The track sounded really good to me last night before I uploaded it. Upon listening some more to it I hear room for improvement. I like to experiment with sounds that I previously would have skipped right over, i.e. disco drums. I hope I did Jimi a little bit of justice with this here little homage.
This song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.

those are all good points. I thought about putting more crowd noise in during the song; I should experiment more with that. This piece would benefit from more percussion, but there are several tempo changes in there and I don't have good drum samples for that. The midi drums on my software sound like sh*t so I decided just to pull the track out of the oven and serve it up as it is.
When are you going to post more tracks? I want to hear what else you've got to offer us.
And let me know when you're ready for the robot voice sample.

VERY nice, man.
Thanks for the comments; i'll remix so no time at o that last'n
bless you and your dear ones today.
...and, yes, those kids and i share a lot of love; they can be pretty amazing; its a good therapy : )
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.
Love playing with delay! So many creative uses and opportunities. What delay pedal(s) or software are you using for this? Very relaxing piece. Dreamy. Reverse delay is my favorite. :)
A favorite style of my wife... like Kris Kristofferson, in a way. Maybe more folk than Outlaw Country...? The song has great meaning for me.
Hope you like it!

Wonderfully laid back. I can picture myself sitting out on the porch in the country listening to this as the World passes me by for a bit. Very cool Doug!
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

This man I knew too well
This man I know is gone
This man I see lying here
This man who died in my arms
I can't explain to you
His dark voice
It had a lot of power
It held a lot of pain
He made sure you heard
He made sure you listened
You feared…

Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!
Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could play like that! Is this a recording of your actual or a software instrument? Either way sounds really rich and warm and I like that!
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*

Roger…
the sheriff's back in town
that o' hired hand of dread
cleanin' up the channels
knockin' down the webs
his lights, they are a flashin'
stopped me in my tracks alone
his hand on rein and bridle says
this freedom's gotta go
he said it…
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

cool.

Love the bass line to this!
Oh, yeah - A head scrambler!!
Oh, those kick sequences are definitely a Mad Man letting loose! Great piano patch - That really made this I think. Sweeet!
Yes - I love it. Very brooding sound, but I suppose that's how a dishwasher should be!
This has got me all nostalgic!!!! Sega Master System.... Revisited!! The game Composers were Awesome Musicians!! Little to work with... But Still made it sound Good! 8-Bit Goodness!!!!
This is very engaging! Love How this is Put together!!! Perfection in a short burst!
This makes me Go all Funny with the Effects... You Rule!!!!!! Goose bumps as well... Dont know why....
You are a true artist, stunning sounds here.
very cool sounds.
The drums would sound very cool with some ping delay, bouncing from left to right and then back again.

Thanks for your comment! The vocals were recorded using an MXL 4000 mic.
Cool! I dig that ultra fuzz tone. Give us more tracks buddy.

Love the musical bed in the back with the backwards parts. The whole piece is really serene and transports the listener to another place.

That fuzz bass is freaking sick! Great vocals. Really sweet song. When the guitars come in around 1:25... YESSS!!!!
Those are some tasty guitars! Nice bass also and vocals. :)
Everything sounds really nice! Love the guitars and vocals. The background vocals sound great also.
Soothing and calming. Very beautiful. Also has a mournful quality to it.
Wonderfully laid back. I can picture myself sitting out on the porch in the country listening to this as the World passes me by for a bit. Very cool Doug!
Really nice chord progression. Very peaceful and has a great vibe to it. Cool.
Love the celtic feel to this! It just has a great old World feel and charm to it that can't be beat. The playing is top notch!
Cool! Awesome harmony vocals. Killer. I like the sparseness of this. :)

Cool song. Great voice. Nice lyrics! Thanks for you comment on my song Wolves. I love music from the 90's!
Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could play like that! Is this a recording of your actual or a software instrument? Either way sounds really rich and warm and I like that!
Pretty damn funky! Cool jam.
Extremely cinematic! Really sets the mood for something ominous to happen!
That's some beautiful playing and a great progression! Well done. :)
Nice! Your voice and guitar work really well together. Very Neil Young-esque indeed! Good stuff.
Hauntingly beautiful! This really sets a dark undertone. Well done!
Nice slide guitar! Really cool tune. Definitely has a vibe and I like it.
Very groovy. Nice and mellow. Great collaboration!
