A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.
LYRICS:
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne…
This is an improvisation (with a bit of editing where my timing got off by a lot) for this week’s ImprovFriday event
I used my M-Audio 88es to drive:
Korg MS2000
ARP 2600 V soft synth
Absynth 5 soft synth
Session 3 drummer soft synth

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:

2)shovel snow
3)Make music (inside, not on deck)
4)access EWABS (emergency wine and beer…

Glad you liked the tracks, and feel free to be critical all you want. It's good to get feedback on my songs, good or bad, it helps me nail stuff down better! Alister Flint used to get me pretty good on my mixes and even though i did not agree with him all the time, it helped me listen to it in a different light, and bring more balance to the overall song.
Previously released as "a little moon music", Here, used as the background for a video i made in Oct of Great White Sharks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX5R3lrxmYs
This is not the typical Discovery Channel version, here i saw the more languid…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
Thanks Kirk. I was really experimenting with different guitar sounds. For the acoustic I was trying to use a closet door as a way to reduce some of the noise I was having issues with.
I actually turned the bass and acoustic into samples and looped them so I could play around wwith some lead guitar. It's pretty cool beacuse I'm learning new techniques from Norm, and you idea on the acoustic is helping me find a cleaner way to record acoustic. Thanks again!
I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
Thanks man, I am learning from the best ;) when I was playing around with the percussion samples last night I kept thinking it needed something, and I listened to your drums a few times and went......COWBELL!!!!
When you have been trying to drink away your problems and the bar closes and you find yourself alone in the darkness trying to come to terms with them. Ever been there?
Very cool track man, I'm not big on bars unless some good music is going on, but I am sitting here wondering why I drank so much last night.
You music in the background and the way you talkig remind me of something Danny Elfman would come up with. I like this one a lot.

A while back Kraig Grady, the author of the JI tuning "Centaur" asked me to transpose my piece Centaur's Pasture composed in his tuning to different "keys" in order to hear the different character each transposition…
Jqscutt had this guitar riff that he sent me and we worked out a song with bass, rhythm, lead and drums over the internet. I posted it for a collab for some key additions. This was added by TiS friends K-Lyd and Coruz. Later, they found Liam…

Solid and real tight MTC. Certainly worth vocalizing. Bass and Drum breaks are crackerjack. Spot on.

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
