There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana). “Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…

Johnny stone came down this morning for the choirs Practice session in the Cellar for tomorrows service at the Church of Reg where the Cellar choir will be performing this Zep Classic, there all in there Elvis, Jim, killer Lewis, John, Bob and…

This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists. I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :) So CRANK IT UP…

Well Johnny kindly bought Rock n Roll down the cellar tonight and Bon decided to jump up and give this beauty his best it was a hell of a time and Johnny nearly blew his amps up. The whole cellar was shaking and so was Bon when he finished singing…

I can't remember her name. I saw her at Kerrville back in 2005. A little blond that always wore a leather cowboy had, played keys and wrote music for movies. (Someone remind me.) COULD SHE KNOW Could she know I think about her Thinking…

From the album IT WAS A DARK & STORMY NIGHT...

I have loopitus. it's contagious so be careful. I'm having fun with it. Like puking in the toilet and pretending I'm driving a school bus. It's fun.......

It felt like spring time On this February morning In the courtyard Birds were singing your praise I'm still recalling things you said To make me feel alright I carried them with me today Now As I lay me down to sleep This I pray That you will…

Sometimes, you just have to make a track so that you can play that big ass gong - you know the one im talking about. 4 guitar tracks and one for the gong. Various FX for guitar including a sustain FX which seems to go well with the gong droning…

I just got myself a new toy called Maschine. Maschine is a "Groove Production Studio." So I guess that makes this my first groove product.

.... a tad heavier than my usual stuff :)

Arrival is a song about charging into the breach. When you want something, you gotta go get it and sometimes this means going to places and seeing people who are more than willing to screw you over. So give as good as you get plus a little more…

Oops, I pasted the wrong description here when I did the latest update. Of course this song is instrumental, as you may have noticed. ;) The guitar tracks were done by Alina Yudaeva from Russia. The song is old and still not quite done as all…

Written and recorded in a couple of hours late one night. I pick up the telephone and dial the number I run down the street I don't mind the thunder I can get no answer Can't go back to my slumber I turn the corner slip and fall I hit…

Inspired by the french movie titled "The Element Of Crime." This is basically a night in the studio for some musical therapy via studio jam with myself.

A micro-tonal piece made using one instance of the Novaphone 340 ("Imperial") playing 3 piano samples from SoundIron's "Emotional Piano 2.0". The samples were sequenced using a MIDI keyboard using the Novaphone Micro-8 scale (1/8 semitone per…

From the album IT WAS A DARK & STORMY NIGHT. The words came originally from some junk email scam we received - got more from them than they ever did from us !

I've been trying to think of some lyrics for this riff for ages. Then along come Super Bethan, who also gave me the melody. Many, many thanks.

We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.

Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo! Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…

From the album IT WAS A DARK & STORMY NIGHT...

This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…

Bit tricky trying to play guitar whilst hiding behind the sofa. You'd of thought she would of herd it.

And in the end, if love doesn't work, or if the connections are missed, we keep on waiting for it and working for it.

I don't know the right words To make a love song for you I won't live enough days To wait another one for you I don't know any way To make it clearer to you All the things I don't say When I don't know what to do I'll carry this cross To where…

STRICKEN - James Michael Taylor Boy's Theme (River Phoenix) in River's last movie, DARK BLOOD. ...none the less, in my broken mind, some of the false hope leaks thru... Key D capo @ 2 in C I've been C stricken. I've been pierced…

Simon and I have spent a bit of time on this hope you enjoy. We had fun creating it.

A preview of the imminent PROJECT X album. The title ? Because it was recorded on the day when the Moon was full in Capricorn. Any occult properties gained therby are purely coincidental.

From the album IT WAS A DARK & STORMY NIGHT... disembodied voices of the tempest, dark forebodings and things of that nature generally.

Once upon a rainy day, we were out in the farm fields waiting on the sun to break through the gloom. We arrived in this dark world naked and were washed clean waiting for the sun. Little darling, here it comes...

The sun it rises The sun it sets To make a new life we put the old one to bed At some point old memories disconnect naturally let go of what's irrelevant This old town is like an ex- Nostalgia doesn't serve me any in the end It's good to have…

Album: You Won't Like It (2011)

Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00. In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…

some gtr "playing" + drones & feedback

Written & Recorded: July 1-2, 2011 DADGAD First time I've picked up a guitar since February. Still not feeling it, though...
