With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.

It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!

"Danny Boy" is a ballad written by English songwriter Frederic Weatherly. It is considered to be an unofficial signature song, particularly by Irish Americans and Irish Canadians. Here's my version...

Created for the Sound-In event "F" theme, but also coinciding conceptually with Jim Goodin's delay project, Passing the Torch.
fretless junk strat tuned FFCACF through DL4 delay modeler.

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Uploaded
My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.
With Mr Sandbags (reichatron). There's a really cool version with guitar added by Mac somewhere too, but it's weirdly vanished! Will add as soon as I find it.

This is a tune we did in 2011 and is featured in Ramen Music Issue 6.
I wanted to upload it to my last collection of Wildgeas tunes.
It's one of my favorite collaborations eveh!
Suds mixed this version.
It belongs here.
Enjoy!

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
You're makin' me so lonely, baby
I get so lonely, I get so lonely, I could die
Though it's always crowded
You still can find…

Starry Nightmoth on Honky Tonk piano. Drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Everything else (acoustic guitar, bass guitar, vocals) is the fault of Gene Eric Mann.

LIFE
The art of life, it lies between

I didn't ask to be alive
It's the best life that I know
So we are here, so let us be
Adding to the gripping tale
The universe can know itself

Something more mellow. Got the idea from an Andy Aledort column in Guitar World magazine but can't remember which one and can't find the issue now.
Thanks for listening.

This is my arrangement of the classic organ piece attributed to Bach, for two pianos. It was done entirely by ear, so I changed many chords. It's part of my album, Analytic Continuation.

When I was a bird,
Clipped my own wings, so you wouldn't hurt.
I figured they'd re-molt,
Now the damned things never grow.
That's how it goes...
When I was a stone,
I made it down the hill, but ended up alone.
Just inches from my throne…

Gene Eric Mann was kind enough to do noise removal for me. The hiss is all gone, which is awesome! The resulting track has an interesting ethereal quality. This might end up being rerecorded at some point, but this is an amazing improvement!

I'm very lucky to have Igliashon Jones playing guitar and drums on this!

Just an improv session I did over a standard Clapton style backing track in the key of D Major

So 50/90 is an unnatural forcing of a crap ton of songs in a relatively short period of time. We're half way though and I've learned one thing. I've learned how easy it is to repeat something you've already done. This one sounds a LOT like…

New song. Wrote the guitar part first, lyrics came later. This is one of the first songs I've done more than one track on in quite a while, and also one that isn't dark (unusual for me). Anyway, enjoy!

This one feels forced. I don't know, it just isn't doing much for me. I like the part after the first solo where the drums ride on a crash cymbal, but the rest of it doesn't seem to gel. The lyrics are gibberish made up on the spot. The guitars…

This song represents the place where things got alarmingly repetitive for my 50/90 project. In another day or two I'll be posting a song that is musically very similar to this one. As I worked this one out, I had no memory of the previous attempt…

This is a snippet of acoustic guitar recorded a year or so ago which was already loaded with effects. I ran that through paulstretch and came up with this. It created almost orchestral or choral sounds in places.

FEEL THE TIME
Feel the time is rushing by,
I feel the time is near
Feel the time is crushing down,

That is how the world goes round,
that is how it goes
Just a question, when and how,
and that no one knows…

We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.

Another simple arrangement that uses dynamics to differentiate between verse/chorus/ect. I really like that gimmick, but I have to force myself not to do it, or I'd do it 100% of the time.
