A mass remix of all Gravity Rues tracks into one massive soundscape

"Several individuals could each create a tape consisting of some number of documented pieces of ambient noise...and play these tapes simultaneously."

Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall. The title comes from a quote from…

Moon Rising recorded by Jack & Saxon back in 2003.

A working man's lament

Introduction to what everybody should know.

Playing with the pedals on random strings.

Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country. Lyrics: We…

Written and recorded sometime in 2008. I was a bit hesitant to upload this one, but I do think the melody is rather nice... :) One of the first tunes I wrote and recorded with the RC-20 looper given to me by Kirk Lynch. Don't remember much…

Uncle Bobo has some good news and some bad news for his fans. Tune in and find out.

Hold On was written and recorded in West Point Nebraska when I was doubting many things in my life. I wrote this as a reminder to always keep going even if things aren't looking as good as they could. You'll always find what your looking for…

Money can't buy you happiness.

new song today on my player written after finding out some horrible news from a friend about her rape and DV. i'm sick and tired of men thinking women are rag dolls to be tossed around. love her - don't hit her ====================== (c) raik…

Sometimes we stay in a relationship because we grow comfortable, and we're scared to leave. The fear of being alone fuels us to settle for the wrong one. This song is my reflection of one situation that I was in. "Let Her Go"

Shaken, not stirred please. Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.

Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…

This is my second experiment with "song form". In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end. Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…

That's right! The first of my pieces with a title! It actually started as a little tune I whistled when I was getting my soccer stuff off after practice, and it hit me to record it, so I did... This is the outcome.

Hey Kids! Bring some strangers... Uncle Bobo's bus is in car jail.

Written by Sluk & Buzzy in 1988 Sluk - chicken scratch, first solo Buzzy - Drums, bass Frankie - vox Rod Guitar - second solo

The last moments of an agonizing world.

This was my first "serious" attempt to make something. Although very simple the final result was quite pleasant for me, hope it is for you too.

As another day ends, nightfall comes to the city. I dedicate this song to my home, México City. This tune was inspired by its quiet and beautiful side and the remnants of nature still present on it.

They were made for each other.

Lyrics: Caged as a bird free will is such a bitch it's your responsibility to stay alive pay the bills etc, etc but how you enslave yourself whether or not you enslave yourself it's up to you

A tribute to Ted Kennedy. It was a little ambitious for part of a 24h project. Lyrics: the world was hurt today with news scary to say we lost another man right when progression began and I hate to see you go I just wanted you to…

There's really nothing special about this... I didn't even mean to write it. I was looking for a (free) way to make music that's more... expressive. Rosegarden doesn't have enough in the way of dynamics. I tried a bunch, and I ended up with LMMS…

Something I was playing around with when I was working on another project. Just the guitar and some vocals with finger snaps thrown in.
