A song about my wife. Recorded 2005. I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly). I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go. **** **Now It's Done - A A J Russe** I said it…

With music written and performed by Soundsmith Kamachi. It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…

welll... this year for RPM i am trying music and instruments i have never used/learned/done ie know nothing about... why? im not sure i now know.. but it did seem like a good idea two weeks ago.. so here is the "first half" of what i have so…

The music you hear I created myself and played by myself, apart from the drums. I called this song "The Rain Began" it's basically about a couple where the bloke cheated, so she told him where to go, but he kept coming back ( full of regret…

I thought i'd join in the fun thanks for the challenge Gene......with a little fx free from freesfx.co.uk I built myself an android I’ve been sitting here lonely for seems a long long time i’ve even thought of buying myself one of them internet…

For Gene's challenge. Keeping always in mind the K.I.S.S. principle. (Keep It Simple, Stupid!)

Well look what Gene started... I decided to put my own thoughts on this one, and look what weirdness popped into my head this fine evening.... Thanks for the fun idea Gene!!! Here are the lyrics: How To Assemble An Android © 2015 Colleen…

An acoustic short song I just made up, I kept it very basic by only using my little Höhner guitar with nylon strings of which I recorded two layers. I hope you will enjoy my song ! Warm regards from Anna.

one of my fav moody's songs. it would have turned out far better if i had a melotron. (i wish!) this is an ecological song. i had it running in my head for the last week, and so much so it was also playing in a dream i had, so i figured it…

I'm sure I had too much wine when I recorded this ........

One of those songs that sort of recorded it self, just plugged in my acoustic, two takes done, than the vocals. Simples, as if.........

Just a little oldie I found.

When you come to the end of the road and all of the signs just say "No" You never say, "Quit" Cause that's not your bit You're not a pup You never give up...

I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…

While on our European journey last summer, we stopped at an American Cemetery in between Venice and Florance Italy. It was a gray wind swept day, long rows of white crosses ran across a deep green grass field. I have read a bit about the allied…

This is an IDEA or blueprint for the solo of a song I wrote called the same 12 steps. It's just a snippet and it's unmixed but it's just so pretty to me. This was one take on each track (backing/lead) but I think alot of the reason it turned…

Can't promise this is finished just yet but, enjoy what it is. Kavin., Breaking Light, provided the 12 string improvisational tomfoolery.

Sorry about the bum lick around 1:41, maybe some of the licks after that will make up for it.

Sudden insight into a transcendental truth.

Silly cover of a silly song.

Another oldie from yesteryear.......

another for the RPM album.........

Enjoying a few tracks on this site with Indian flavor lately. My brothers legs were so red from slapping them to get the perc sounds in this track, I had to laugh, That alone was worth doing the song ;) Enjoy # 92 Spicy percussion provided by Norm

Something that I intend to develop more at some point, but was going through things from a month or so ago and kind of liked this little version

Remixed unplugged. I removed all the electric guitars and synths. I also replaced the lead with a harmonica, re-recorded my backups, and ran the bass track through a fretless patch. I like this version. Thanks Michael - You've been a wonderful…
