For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom! ** this could really use a tasty melody to go with…

Sister Savage has a little star in this track! Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…

Been carrying this around since 1982, finally recorded it. Composed when we were expecting our first child, hence the anxiety.

...The soul of Adonais, like a star, Beacons from the abode where the Eternal are. - Percy B. Shelley

Acoustic tale of revenge. Recorded 2010 on a Boss BR1600CD. ***** **The Knife - A A J Russe** A dark and star-less night Probably driving rain That's what they think became of me A foolish walk along the cliff when he was drunk…

A not so traditional cover by one of my favs, Led Zeppelin Shaking the covers out for springtime :)

I recently bought the Imperfect Samples [Braunschweig Upright](http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php) (Pro) sampled piano for Kontakt after falling in love with the sound of the demos. I have…

Not really Irish ... a Scottish ballad ... An earthly nourris sits and sings And aye she sings, "Ba lilly wean (and) no ken I, my bairns father Far less the land that he dwells in." And up come he to her bed fit A grumly guest I'm sure…

A song for the end of your last set of the night.

02 – Falling Down Again. Written 17th/18th Feb.  Recorded 17th/18th/19th Feb. A slightly schizophrenic pop song, with a vocal section that also betrays me wanting to be a Beach Boy. Worryingly there is actually a red sticky trickle that seeps…

cover of the pink floyd song dr alfredo de pietra on guitars and myself on vocal duties. a slighty different mix from the two versions at songcrafters.

This is a new song that was written and performed with my friend Tim de Graauw. One evening we sat down for about 2 hours, hashed out ideas, got the creative juices flowin, played some G tar aaand out of that came this song. This is just a rough…

A lonely little improv in Dminor tuning.

Vocals by Greg Connor, lyrics by Connor and Merry Bear, music by Bear. And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…

An ambient anthemic piece. The process: - Start with a live take of me playing an iphone app called tonepad. - add camelphat and camelspace - add an Alchemy instance, find a big fat pad, work out a riff - record a single take accompanying the…

A song about falling asleep on the couch, so there is no mystery to it! But the loose change is in the cushions, lights and tv are on, and the oven has been set to 350 for several hours :) One vocal & acoustic take with a harmony and noodle…

Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week. Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…

Turn a Blind Eye -- Don't turn a blind eye to the Sunshine Don't walk away from this piece of mind I got to tell ya just one more time Don't walk away from the Sun... shine! Aw c'mon now, don't tell me you never wanted to…
