This one has been sitting around for a while but I feel it's the best or most interesting of my most recent posts. The inspiration came from listening to an old CD I have of a great band from the 90's. If anybody can name the band that I gained…

Setting aside the harmonica, this is all MIDI. I just realized there's no bass track. Duh!!

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…

Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…

Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm. The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…

Instrumentation Demonstration to try applying the Gunslinger sound to a more bluesy progression. Bass is a bass, guitar is a guitar. The drums are a digital pad kit connected to an Alesis trigger I/O to make them MIDI capable. Generally, I…

An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all. Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).

A jam from 2008. Left: Darrin Kobetich Right: Kavin.

Written and Recorded: Feb 28, 2010 Details: Epiphone Les Paul (FBbEbGCF, FBbEbGDbF, Capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity...all fingers, no picks. Last track for RPM 2010, and by far my favorite of the batch…

Sketches, sketches, sketches

An ebow strained thru octave pedal and pitch shifter.

The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…

Written and performed by Tangmo and Jay Jackson. If my voice sounds a little sickly, it's because it was. I went into the hospital with life-threatening heart and respiratory problems days after laying vocals for this song. It remains a 'spiritual…

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with just the coolest tiny idea? perhaps a musical dream? these small pieces are just that,, tiny little musical notes that just seem to break into my normal musical day,, one take suff think…

This is my cover of Geir Alfsons song, like a fool , i did this as a tribute to him on songcrafters music forum

This is the second song from this amazing collaboration with Michael Thomas of Cave Street. http://alonetone.com/cavestreet It's not a Cave Street collab. but rather a project by Thomas - Lennon. I do the music and mixing. Michael does…

A song to get up and dance to, much like you get and dance when someone whose loudly voiced opinions you don't share is sent packing. Narcissism and hero worship have no place in a civilized world. ;)

Black Cat Words and Music by Tharek Mokbul ( OsCKilO ) My heart will miss a beat Each time I see your pain I know this is the end But I Will fight this tide The battle is complete Both sides Have won this time I will remember you So proud…
