At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…

This spooky track utilizes the "Paulstretch" program to stretch recordings of gongs, chimes and bells to 8.04 times their native length: no other effects were made to these acoustic recordings other than to stretch them. The gongs utilized are…
My contribution to the Angie Fights Crime album "Sunny, Sorta..." AFC wrote the lyrics and chords, then gave me free reign to do what I wanted from there.

This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists.
I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :)
So CRANK IT UP…
Another one from last nights session down the cellar.........Well it was only a matter of time before Reg had enough of her, she reminded him too much of Desire......now he's gone.......it was goodbye.........
Eerrgh! I *knew* that Desire was a big mistake for you. I'm afraid that she might haunt you forever. (What ever happened to her??) Nice dog-house bass.
I salivated over this $3,500 guitar last night. I had the "expensive guitar room" at Guitar Center to myself so I played and recorded on my zoom H2. Yes, this is guitar p0rn...
I hijacked Norbert Oldani's excellent piano improvisation and add some guitar to it.
His original is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5150711/PianoI911.mp3

I had this mellow tune hanging around when I heard "Love is Life" by The Two Regs and thought I need to catch the other Reg while he's around.
Lucky for me he had the time, the voice, and the melody. We created this lovely tune.
I was electrified…
Reg has been reading a lot lately he's currently reading an interesting book called "Storming Heaven LSD and the American Dream by Jay Stevens" and so he decided to revisit A Toast to the Stone-age he did with Norm during Johnny's death and before…
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live

They're tired of being pushed around

I reverted my Woods acoustic from 18 edo back to normal 12 edo - and ran 2 tracks of it into guitar rig. Added 5 string bass - and then added the drum pad - which explains the totally odd percussion. The first track I did had an open mic (thus…
Comments on Norm's stuff
This whole this is perfect. I think I like the additional perc at around :55, 1:55 ect the best.

this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
@ Dave: You know I did!
Totally captivating and beautful. Did you polish it back up after man handling it? Wonderful recording.
YES! Man that bell sounds sweet! Love image of you working the bell as the train rolled on. The only bell I have is a tiny little tibetan bell...maybe I need to find a tiny microphone and work it! Ha ha
Enticing and hypnotic!
