At the end of this road
Red rock and blue skies
And the wind calls
Plant your roots in the ground
And the clean air that the trees share
You can't hear a sound
Deep in the heart of it all
Morning dew at the sunrise
Covered in fog
Fires…
So many distractions the left's pulling up and the right is undone
Dealing with reaction the motivated mind is a dangerous thing
Son don't pity me I shook the hands and collected the toll
I stood upon the podium and hid the skeletons so they…
This salty man's a salty dog
His travels have left him weary
Got boots all lined up at the door
He's must be carrying stones again...
His salty wife waits on salty shores
Tending the child she carries
Washing his wounds with olive soap…
Whispers for dark words in my subconscious
The belief that reality doubles with your delusions
A thought that a handshake was once considered currency
Or a realization that man is the only predator you fear
Radioactive soul
Ain't got nothin…
Some people talk to me
Ask me what I do for a living
Use some rocks to grind my grain
Little bit of whiskey to tickle the brain
Valley fever giving me rest
Smokestack choked out to my west
Drink a little of the H2O
Give it a little…
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…

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…
