In the course of time and events, life turns to us by different sides. Or we perceive it so. Nature perceives all this as a given. I wonder what the trees think about all this? For those who do not give up and follow the dream. --- Igor…

When I made album artwork for the "rarities" album Experimental Dandelion Farm, I accidentally included the text "2000-2018" instead of "2010-2018". I thought it would be funny if, instead of just fixing the cover, I uploaded something actually…

Maybe I shouldn't tell you what I was thinking The first time I saw that sad smile in your eyes I couldn't look away, and I don't recall blinking It might've been better if we'd just said simple goodbyes I've been down this road before once…

Tony H. - Lyrics, Vocals Mark R. - Guitar, Keys Jesse C. - Drums, Recording, Mixing Kevin Craig - Bass Once again, the title is the chord sequence, mostly. The "chorus" is actually A-C-E-F, in 7/4, because of a copy-paste "error" introduced…

Wouldn't want to be the one who's overlooked It's like needles in the eyes He says he's gonna write a really big book I don't know Dreaming's about the only way I spend my time Push me back, I'm rolling in a shallow brook I'm laughing…

Another mix from a New Years Day ninjam with electronic drummer Ray Istorico and myself. I'm on lap steel and electronics. Ray Wave Drum.

just a quick thing for Sound-In, perhaps a study for a bigger piece.

For a Beatles-themed week at Sound-In, I deconstructed three classic early Beatles harmonica riffs, layering them forwards and backwards in various speeds and then doing some improv over the top based on the melodic (or not) combinations that…
