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!
nice title- nice groove -yeah. 1:37 makes me smile big ; D
Thanks for the comments/interest.
I am teaching some art and music to little munchkins three and a half days per week.
For years, I taught visual arts studies o the university level.
More soon, friend.

Thanks for these sounds and for your helpful comments on 'For Joy.'
For horn sounds, I use a combination of my own horn [acoustically/live recorded] and Garageband symphony samples [one of the 'jam packs']. The EQ-ing and time-based effect mix seems crucial. Having a long history around brass, I just try to adjust all of the above to get them to blend and sound reasonably natural.
As to relative 'prolificness,' I've been out of full-time work for too long. I teach part-time and have a backlogue of things that I tend to re-vamp.
Bless you and your efforts, man.

Well, that’s a tough one. I would suggest starting out with Burnt Weeny Sandwich; it’s primarily an instrumental album. And the compositions are great. Other suggestions, Apostrophe, Overnite Sensation, Roxy or Elsewhere, Baby Snakes, Shut Up n Play Yer Guitar, Sheik Yerbouti, We’re Only In it For the Money, Just Another Band From L.A., Chunga’s Revenge, the list goes on and in no particular order.
I can give you more info about computer voice thing by email.
this tune is great.
thanks for your support. My drums are samples from an old yamaha keyboard. I put the drums on four tracks, 2 left and 2 right. I haven't mixed them down yet. When I do I'll post the revised tune up and let you know. If you like the way the drums sound at that point I will be glad to tell you how I mix them. thanks again.

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…

Love the description of this song. It's interesting to note that quantum physicists are proving things today that people said not so long ago and were considered crazy for saying them. I dare you to try and watch What The bleep @#$##$...or something like that. It's about quantum physics. Crazy stuff..

yeah love the percussion and general sentiment about mad men. Thanks for the warm Ohioan welcome... I'm excited to finally live in a state where the leaves change colors every year! What's this thing called seasons?

:) Nice stuff. I'm digging the vibe. Whatever the mics this sounds good. Great harmony vocals. I kept waiting for drums and bass to kick in but this sounds really nice.
comes to the senses
a sweetness so sweet
and deep
that the tongue curls
and presses
hard inside the
mouth
holding, for a moment, and for another
the throat catches
closes
so the sweetness cannot pass…
Thanks for your comment on my voice! Made my evening actually. :) I'm pretty shy about it actually...
Anyway killer guitar playing. I've never been much of a guy who noodles around on the fret board or does much lead work so I really like tracks like this! Cool tune. This is a helluva lot longer than anything I will ever write! My hat is off to you.
This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…
Love all the different sounds and textures. I sure am a sucker for textured and layered sounds in music! Some really cool 'underwater' sounds! Thanks for your recent comment on my newest song 'The End'.
Another one rebuilt after my freak SD card initialization fiasco. The excellent solo work was done by my buddy Gnasty - I love it!
This is the second part of a two part song. I'll get the other part up next hopefully.
Badass Solos: Gnasty…
Nice guitar! A little hot in the mix (maybe just a tad) but it's pretty sweet. Cool song title. This reminds me Alice Cooper and something else I can't quite put my finger on but this is nice! Where those guitars recorded direct or was the amp mic'd?
The Flying Bear features a nice fusion of funk and rock that leaves the listener both satisfied and excited. An experimental vibe is very prominent during the song's bridge, and the entire song can be rooted back to Soulstice Music's Red Hot Chili…
Now THAT was interesting. Love all the sounds and the experimental quality to this. Great synths. Sort of reminds me of Radiohead in spots and also old school video game music. Pretty slick!
done in 2006. simple, keeping the objective of 'spaces' throughout the recording.
certainly not the most endearing song, but i like parts of it.
this song, among a few others (thisisntsomthingyoucancatch) were songs that i lost all my un…
Great stuff. This reminds me of music I listened to as a teenager and I enjoy it a lot. Love it when it picks up a notch at the 0:49 mark. Sounds great in mono BTW. Excellent production and mixing. Well done!
Thanks for your recent comment on my song Tuba Man.
Nice vibe and groove to this one! It brings to imagery of me sitting out on a porch in the wilderness, the sun is setting, and the animals are starting to stir in the surrounding undergrowth... or something like that. This just has a 'feeling' about it that is nice and comfortable!
The first time we played this tune, the drummer and I played it, spontaneously, almost exactly as this recording documents. But we'd never heard it before, had no chart, Kelly was just playing it on the bass and singing a bit, and our parts just…
Thanks for your recent comment on my latest song! I just moved house and am moving back to my roots of drums/guitar/bass so be on the look-out for new material. This a cool groove to it. I miss playing with a live band and coming up with new songs out of thin air. This reminds me of that experience. Nice and raw and has that awesome first take magic quality to it!
(this track's a bit hot, mind it doesn't hurt your ears, please)
So many reasons for sorrow. One sees from within sorrow, and sees only sorrow. But we must look awry at these weeping walls, these streaking-blind windows: they are of our own…
Those drums and guitar sound great! How many mics did you use on the kit? I can hear some bass going with this but that would change the feeling completely.
Thanks for your recent comment on my music! I know my songs are a bit on the short side! I'm working on that. :)
A collaboration that involved 5 musicians over several parts of the world. A crazy stalker tune - Has a soft/hard/soft format. Recorded with The Boss Micro BR(MBR), Mixed with Audacity and then mastered with the MBR.
More details in the Youtube…

this reminds me of some good old Frank Zappa from the Burnt Weeny Sandwich album.

Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?
nice panning effect!
Gotta love a good dishwasher tune! Nice!
Sounds like a heartbroken fishing boat starting its shift, and people think fishing boats don't have hearts.
Great sounds!
reminds me of the day when 8 bit was awesome. Definitely like the sounds.
video game sounds! awesome! Nicely done.

Wow, gunshots in a forest...running water...explosions...manic typists..! Powerful and inventive!

Thanks for taking the time to comment; many intriguing sounds here! ; )
What a cool, eclectic, mix. Liked this one, especially the sound of the piano running through it and counterpointing the glitchiness.
Fascinating! I like! Truly creative

Pretty cool. Really like the backing vocals. Great feel to this! Thanks for recent comment on my song Tuba Man!
Lol, nice. I'm feeling this tonight. Sounds like you had fun making this one! See what I'm saying. Post some more stuff.

Love the cicadas in here! Did you sample those yourself? Awesome soundscapes. Otherworldly at times. This would be great for a cinematic piece!
:) - Pretty killer and groovy. Some hints of U2 in this one. Nice job!
Man this is funky is all get out! Cool stuff. Reminds me of when the room starts spinning after you've had too much to drink!
Great performance on this. Love the backing vocals. I would bring up the percussion just a bit though. The lead vocal is killer, nice effects on it!
Pretty slick. Nice soulful and groovy. Cool bass line. Definitely a RHCP flair to this. Love the guitar shimmers.
I dig your stuff. It's familiar and different sounding all at the same time. I'll have to download this one and see how this track develops!

Interesting transition at the 1:30 mark. Good stuff. Nice recording and production as always!
Wish I could play piano! Thanks for sharing your talent to others who wish they could! Beautiful soulful stuff here.
