Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment

It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
I extended my very short Halloween piece - doubled it in length - not too hard considering it still is only a minute long.
This is using the Garritan Personal Orchestra sample set.
2 organs, piano, flute, bassoon.
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
Experimenting with asynchronous, layered picking. I thought it would sound really cool. Guess what? It doesn't! ... Well, all of the mistakes aside ... it's growing on me.
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
Composed all in one sitting at about 4am in January 08 when I was feeling particularly horrible about a breakup. This one has a video I filmed (mostly on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, VA) while walking a few miles at night…
Thanks for the listen acid....one of these days when i get some time, i need to come check out more of your stuff, i liked what i have heard so far.; )
This is the final scene of "The Lost Child," my big work for flute/actor/percussion/electronics. In this scene the protagonist/wild woman Ana realizes she will be outed as a fraud, and so takes her own life.
flute, me; voice, Benjamin Pierce;…
13 minutes! Fail! I recommend you augment your self a bit (with a glass or three of red wine or whatever floats your boat) and dim the lights, lay on the floor with your eyes closed where you can feel the bass rumble and get ready to be my passenger…
Got the 24 hr challenge done finally....ugh...at 19 hours in i crashed...it needed more work, hiss here and there...but it is what it is. ;)Used the bass preamp liked we talked about, it did make a WORLD of difference. Thanks for the tip!
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…

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^

Very cool.
Wicked good drums skills and good song choice to match them...
Hell yes....Cudos to both of ya. we need a fav'd and fav'd again button...
Actually i like the picking. I like something that is a little different from the noraml style. Dig the song, and did not even notice the mistakes.
Thanks ;) For as simple as that riff is, it sure gets stuck in the head...
;)
*laughing so hard it's hard to type @norm's comment*....That is one crazy picture you got on your profile bud. Is that your dog?
thanks xeno, i was way tired and rushed on the mix....i might have to go back and fix some of the levels....
Thanks for the listen acid....one of these days when i get some time, i need to come check out more of your stuff, i liked what i have heard so far.; )
Nice mix. ;)
Your flute playing is incredible....i must download this for future listening. Great composing. Fav'd.
Got the 24 hr challenge done finally....ugh...at 19 hours in i crashed...it needed more work, hiss here and there...but it is what it is. ;)Used the bass preamp liked we talked about, it did make a WORLD of difference. Thanks for the tip!
Very cool, it reminds me of Zelda for some reason....then again my brain is a little gone today. ;)
Nice one buddy!
Very smooth beat.
