Luke 22

This track is off my eponymous album from 2008 - lots of richly layered vocal harmonies, I was still learning how to record in Audacity at the time, so it's a little bit shakey, but I think it's a solid tune nonetheless.

shit is realll rough

hybrid of funk hipop jazz elements . Leave comments , thanks .

the delicate work of the heart and the hands,meetings with ones selfs,singing sublimed songs,the plainchant of the title,taken to new areas,realising isness in the creative process...

Nothing like the sound of a strat through that classic "brown" sound. Gritty, driving, crunchy, lovely tones...This is my welcome back, did you miss me, RPM 2008 opening track.

Yes, I am dark sometimes. Aren't we all? Don't listen to closely, just turn this one up and lose yourself in the tones.

So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…

So I find this riff on a older cassette of me noodling around. I liked the riff, and decided to do a song with it, semi-dronish, which really means literally no changes, just the riff with some overdubs for color. It was also an exercise is subtle…

A chance gtr line while I was checking recording levels turned into insta-song. This one came together in about an hour.

Cover of Joe Satriani's "A Love Eternal" from Super Colosssal.

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

The gtr came first, then the vox, then the bass. Bass players tend to really like this song.

This was supposed to be a lot heavier and darker, but it sounded totally cheesy. I lightened it up, added piano and did about 11 different versions of the vocals for this, each one with completely different lyrics and melodies. The end part was…

This was supposed to be keyboard only, then the gtr part came and just kind of took it over. You should hear the original demo, it is very, very different. I happen to really like this song though, and for some reason love my little keys solo…
