I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…
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…
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…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…
Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine.

I was working on one of my ethno 2 demos and needed a break so I made an improvisation on a series of major 7ths using only the Ethno 2 package.
All of the pitched instruments use the included Werckmeister temperament tuning.
Ooooh, you guys got it going. I would so LOVE to hook up with musicians along this slant. Talk to me about how the percussion is recorded (ie micing, etc.). Just awesome. AWB/Feat.
This drips with butter! Your keys player should be canonized. And I want to spend the week-end with your drummer, bassist and a case of gin. Great vocals too!
This song always puts you in a weird mood...forcibly sways your emotional state. There’s some kind of weird juju laced in that song that screws with your emotions no matter how you're feeling.
This song uses a lot of layers for bass along with…
This was written while living in the studio. For some reason this song seems like music appropriate for a chase scene. This is all bass and drums...no guitars yet. Vic's working on it.

Another older song. It's intentionally short. It makes it's point and moves on. No need to drag it out.
There used to be more. The song started as a minute-thirty idea, but we had the intention of building it later. We put some cool parts…

Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.

Beautiful. I didn't need the video to see the coys lazily gliding around the pond.
Are you still there?? Nice work, Reefwalker!! The thing I love the very most about it is** Oh - gotta go - phone's ringing...
Cool!
The harmonies on this one are simply breath taking! Great song and well done!
Ummmmmm now this is good, good, good.
Ooooh, you guys got it going. I would so LOVE to hook up with musicians along this slant. Talk to me about how the percussion is recorded (ie micing, etc.). Just awesome. AWB/Feat.
I'm still shaking my head...
OK, I'm just going to be quiet from now on, but this is really, really great stuff that you guys are generating.

I have no idea why noboody is listening to this great stuff!! That shit ain't right. Many thanks!! Just great!
Of your loop intended samples, I like this one best.
It's space alright. I've heard it plenty of times at the Dead concerts. Well done!
Guitars would just ruin this. MORE DRUM AND BASS DUETS!!
Oooh, sweet drumming on this one! Funkytissimo!
Rockin! Great stuff.
One of the freshest new poems I've read in a very long time. Outstanding work!
Dig it! *-Jumps into mosh pit with a big grin on his face-
Now we're talking! This kicks! *Buys a round for the band**
Swampy! Very nice.
Excellent work guys! Thanks!
