...ps. i play a yamaha 6310 trumpet [step bore] w/ a dennis wick cornet mouth piece [plus nec cornet-to-trumpet sak adapter]. : ) I don't know if you wondered which inst in general or which 'product' 'sorry if

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.

hey fella, check yer email. I left you some info about the computer voice effect.

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. kss

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

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.

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.

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..

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

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?

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 groovy. Nice and mellow but has a nice beat to it. Enough variation here to keep me listen through the whole track.

Timely sounding. Wonderful. This transports me to a time in history when people enjoyed simpler things in life and we're so caught up in the rat race. Excellent!

Oh that's killer! Fantastic sounds. They have great depth. Are you using the Korg R3 or some other instrument name 'R3?!'

Whimsical! Nice ode to your borrowed friend! Very original!

Nice sample set! I love organic sounds like this. Sounds like you're banging away on this stuff in a monastery! In my mind I can hear monks chanting in the background!

Nice bass line! Great off-beat feel. That's pretty sweet. You like dissonant stuff don't you?! Maybe think about making some of the drum parts more offbeat also to match the bass. You know, kind of like Zeppelin. I can hear some double bass drum in there!

Nice instrumentation as always. I like it when the song goes crazy around the 1:10 mark. Is that you playing guitar or something/someone else?

Love the evolving landscape. Great textures. The piano is very Earthy but the other sounds are very alien like. Really nice!

Great voice! Nicely mixed and produced!

Beautiful. Really calm. Peaceful but it has dark underlying tones.

Your getting some nice sounds out of that microKorg. I really like the guitar. It fits well with the rest of the song. It does get a little repetitive but nothing major. Reminds me of video games which I really enjoy!

Great start Doug. I can definitely hear some lyrics over this. I hope that inspiration for them strikes you soon. This is also very nice as is just as an instrumental!

Very peaceful. Sorry to hear about your friend in Hospice. I've had loved ones be taken care of by Hospice before. Music can be very meditative. Thanks for sharing.

This is has a dark feel to it. I like the subtle voice patches. This is mixed very well. It has a nice full sound to it. Such a beautiful lead guitar tone. Are you recording this direct or what sort of mic set-up do you use? Nice build up. The shakers add a nice touch!

Really beautiful finger picking. That's one thing I've never really felt comfortable doing. I'm stuck in a rut of playing with a pick but maybe I'll branch out one of these days! Really nice progression. This was the perfect song to wake up to!

Thanks for posting the song description. Very interesting. Extremely original. Well done, bravo!

For doing everything in the box this sounds great! I'm not sure if the metronome fits but that adds to the beauty of it. Really nice guitar work and I like how the song builds!

Great performance. The mix seemed a little low in volume but it sure has nice fidelity!

Groovy ass song! Reminds me of Beck but has an originality all your own. Nice work!

Great romp! Love the subject matter! This has a nice raw feel to it.
