So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.
KL: Vocals, lyrics, left side rhythm guitar and picking
MTC: Lead guitar, bass…
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman

Yesterday I was able to capture the Fractal Tune Smithy midi stream of an "on the fly" relay re-tuned performance in Sonar 8.5 by use of LoopBe1…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
Thanks Kirk! I've been messing with that wah tone for a while. I am using my POD XT live, i think it has...5 wah varations? Something like that, and I had one set up for my main guitar a Jackson Dominion (sweet guitar i love it), and when i went to play the lead i thought, well i just got that strat copy lets give it a whirl. I was shocked how those little pickups blasted into the mix. Pretty neat! I guess you can never judge a guitar by the brand name...just the sound. Later!

For everyone who lives in a bright sunny place. Got lots of snow in the mountains today.
On days like these, there are only 4 things to do:
1)start fire
2)shovel snow
3)Make music (inside, not on deck)
4)access EWABS (emergency wine and beer…
I know i know...i really need to get one up....upload a song with a new axe and don't post a pic?!?! what the hell is wrong with me!!!!Happy new year bro!!!
Thanks man! Your stuff is so intense...only way I can describe it...it's real and true to you. A very unique approach your guitar and the music that you generate. I reminds me a lot of something my father told me, he said he never "wrote" a song...well never sat and wrote it out...he would be sitting there or sleeping and it like a radio station turned on...tuned him into a certain channel and he would just write..I get the same thing...and something about your music tells me you do to. Thanks for the listens and comments...I am a fan ;)
Thanks dave! For a project guitar it has a pretty good sound. A little short in the pickup selector and buzz on the middle pickup but for what I paid not to shabby!
This was recorded starting in March of 2010 so I could experiment with some new recording software, and it eventually evolved into what you're hearing.
A basic surf tune inspired by, well, night surfing. I was going for a happy loneliness with…
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
I'm getting sick of the same old chords.
LYRICS:
I'm retarded
I'm a stooge
I can keep myself amused
Have a hand in
my abuse
Set a spark and light the fuse
I'm retarded
I am rude
I am average
I'm obtuse
We don't use that word…

Comments on Movement To Contact's stuff
i know i said that before, but again: you always have great drum tracks on your songs
this is fantastic. what great riffs and guitar tones
So this is how you kick ***. Nice track, great tones here. Right in the pocket...
very cool,, lots of high energy here!! im interested in how you chose the title r
Massive guitar sounds! Dig!
WOOOHOOO! Damn!- I'd fave this in a heartbeat if I only could! Cranked up till my eardrums are about to meet in the middle!
Soundgarden like, wicked. Man you really got the gift of riffs
Damn fine riffs & tone
My guitar hero :)
Serious stuff right here. Out of sight tight.
Solid and real tight MTC. Certainly worth vocalizing. Bass and Drum breaks are crackerjack. Spot on.
Slammin' Jammin' man.
Love the variety on this track!
A fantastic failure! Let's have an alonetone convention at your BBQ!
Nice dynamics in this one.
this is a pretty sweet instrumental tune
sick - love the bass on this one
nice - like Silverchair covering "Back In Black"
opening riff reminds me of "War Pigs"- very cool - love the drops outs and drum breaks
dig those guitar effects and playing. Yup a cranker upper^

Dig this one!
Nice track, great voice. Mixed well, i will have to jam this on some better speakers. ;)
Yet another good one. I love how you always post the style and a bit of history with each track. It always helps me understand the song better.
Kick ass. Almost has an early soundgarden esque fell to it.
Happy holidays man!
