Rumba Columbia is a traditional Cuban pattern in 6: the "go-to" pattern for 12/8 - if you have only heard one Afro-Cuban rhythm in 12/8, this is probably it. As an energetic Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it…

This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…

You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…

This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…

There is an internet label called "SoOn" and this was the 2nd release - a collaboration between me and the guy doing the organ who subsequently left the label - as well as lots of input from…
Please hit "more" — March 01, 2010 — I take a stab at performing a song live on video in several takes. Since this was an improvisation with a couple takes here and there it is not as polished as some may like.

Lyrics:
Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…
When I wrote this song.... It was about staying true to your Ideals...
In fact... It is about a person that put me in a very difficult situation....
One that effected my life for a while... Just for doing the right thing...
I think…
Many nebulae form from the gravitational collapse of gas in the interstellar medium. As the material collapses under its own weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation ionises the surrounding gas, making it visible…
This is a demonstration piece in A minor.
The left channel is a Korg MS 2000 voice with a split keyboard that is driven from the Roland GR-20 as I play my guitar that you hear in the right channel + GR-20 piano - all played against a session…

This is a jazz fusion piece featuring my Fender Mustang, Guitar Rig 4, GR-20, Session Drummer 3, and the following soft synths ARP2600, Absynth 5, Dimension Pro.
I hope you find…

Thats a groovy sound for sure, I can dig this. Who would have thought the lowly tambourine would hold my attentions for so long.
This is great! It takes a special kind of healthy crazy to let it all out in a tambourine solo!

I've been in drum circles with some of those guys... you'd better check for your wallet!
Excellent slide guitar work, great vocals.
Aaye likes this one all the way down to the bottom of my arrrgyle socks!
Well done! Tight and pro - but I don't get the lyrics... what's wrong with me???
Awesome bass and really cool stereophonic uke hook. Your onion brought some tears to my eyes... and definately kept mine moving!
Ouch! My neck is a bit sore from aggressively nodding my head to the beat!Good one!
Man, that IS a cool bass riff. Great piece!
Ha! Forget The 61 - this is awesome. It's great to see you play too. More tastey Vaisvil guitar goodness!
...if I had any pipes. But, man, unless you want to peel paint, I'm going to need to stick to the occassional narration. ;) Thanks for listening!
More Doors! *Excellent*
Menacing! Great guitar work here!
I agree! Smooookin'!
Strong work!
