just clavinet and a loop

Just one of those things where I sat down and started recording and this stuff came out. Hope you like it.

A little more up-tempo than my usual stuff, this is the first track I recorded with my melodica. Those things are TONS of fun. Had lots of fun making the drum track too. Really simple...drums, fretless bass (two tracks) and melodica...that's it.

Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…

After listening to Brian's beautiful guitar piece "Mellow," Brian was kind enough to allow me to sing along... Never saw you coming Down my lonely road I never saw you coming Can't be sure you'll never go I know you'll be leaving But I keep believing…

Just a little cover tune I did in preparation for last year's live RPM Challenge album "Letters." Nylon string Yamaha travel guitar, vocals, and one mic... Missed notes and all.

An old song of mine recorded fresh at Winterland studios.

An experiment that became a meditation. Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track. The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…

A live recording (guitar and vocal) written and recorded one afternoon while I had the house to myself. Cajon and bg vocal added.

In the morning, when we awoke, there was nothing. There were no ashes from the fires of the previous evening. The time for decisions was past. "Yes" was the answer to all questions; and none was the knowledge retained. Wisdom laughs at such folly…

recorded with my nylon strings guitar, and the kit mic-phones to chat hahahaha ;)

This one features Treefrog "playing the wind" on a talking drum... She’s like the wind that moves through the night chasing ghosts She sees the lights, she sees the shadows and she knows There is a difference between the day and night…

Spontaneous little ditty about carelessness and always staying on the move. Quite different from the murky, depressing trite I always seem to end up composing. This started out as a loose solo guitar jam around a simple chord sequence, and…

Remembering Bliss -- 2-3-14 Improv with new acoustic & new delay/looper. By the end of the month I'll probably have two or three albums worth of outtakes of this kinda stuff. Haven't even scratched the surface…

This story is a poem sent to me by Lesley Sawyer from a blog on her MySpace site and I put it to music and am posting it so she can hear it and maybe see if it's alright. We don't know who wrote the poem. If anybody does please tell me. j mt
