Originally recorded for my 2019 RPM Challenge album "The Dark Side of the Moo." I was never really satisfied with it (listen to the original version), so I decided to add some strings and remix it. Much better.

My latest Soundscape hopefully evokes an atmospheric evening in the desert, as outside the tent the girls make their mournful cries before the local musicians strike up a dance beat.....

The song is a song of Praise to the Lord most high.

For no. 3 in this soundscape compilation, I have imagined strolling along the waters edge, contemplating life on a blissful calm day with the relaxing shoreline sounds all around me....!

"Loop composing" with Thumbjam

(Remastered 22/10/2021) And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard. Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me. It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…

I've been listening to a lot of [hiroshi yoshimura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7aYjRl_6Zw). This is played on my Wurlitzer. The other instruments are a prototype version of the additive synth I'm building where you can control the ADSR…

If you were to come over to my house and watch television you would think it was 1963.

Thought id try a little country live in the cellar before i have to get back to Mrs Regs list ...... TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN A E A E Fm D A E Fm D A EA I was listening to a song on the jukebox Sitting on a bar stool holding a dream You walked…

Made a few edgecore changes to the track. Added some Psychedelic vocals and changes towards the end. Also changed the sound level mastering base.

Fresh breeze on Lake Superior And waves collide with the shore The sailor must be watching For gusting wind we can’t ignore Loose the main, correct the healing Point the bow to the wind Recognize the peaceful feeling In this sacred…

One of those moments I had disappointed my lovely bride... Tried to apologize with my guitar....hasn't worked yet... I have a lonely guitar I keep beside my bed "cause when my guitar's happy my lady's always sad? The two don't get along…

As I have said many times...I am happily married 99% of the time. But this song was written in that 1% time frame? Jokingly..... I disagree with what you see is always what you get All I said is two little words, now my life is filled with…

This didn't go as planned... I wrote this song for my wife Nicola while I was away in the UK working in March 2020... I excitedly played it to her from 3,500 miles away over the ether and.... I think she was expecting a ballad rather than a rather…

2013 was a decent year, song wise. I came up with a few good ones during the RPM Challenge in February, and one good one during NaSoAlMo in November. This version is faster, shorter, has a bunch of new key changes, and has a little bit of…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs... I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…

A song about two sides of Nashville. One, loving and perfect to nurture an upcoming songwriter. Two, a business of endless circles of deception and frustration. I mostly know the second..... The rejection letters keep piling up, saying your…

Another song from my 2013 RPM Challenge album. I always like this one, but I'm not sure I did it justice this time. There is a lot of really sloppy guitar playing, even if the Klon KTR overdrive pedal sounds EPIC. Sorry, gear nerd. This…

A Caustic track, created for a friend's movie project.

So my lovely wife bought me a guitar this week... I started by learning some basic and easy chord shapes and this song came together. It's the first one I've done where everything is played by me. It also features my voice on lead and backing…

Another re-recorded 2014 50/90 song. This one was written on or about July 4th as New England was about to get spanked by Hurricane Arthur. I tend to write about hurricanes a lot. Weird. The guitars here are all Gibson ES-335. The amps…

Started out by recording a single tone on the guitar and sampled other recordings on the loop. If you listen carefully you can hear the tone repeat itself for 420 times

I don't say this often... if you go through the ton of songs I've uploaded here you can probably count the number of times I said this on one hand and have some fingers left over... I really like this one. Literally everything about it. If…

Solo 17 edo guitar with effects

just like it says I moved my headphones and the wires connecting them to the mixer .. the wires in turn turned down the sound on the headphones to nothing.. --- I was fumbling with the settings the power the levels the plugs where they were…

A simple guitar groove. Haven't sat in a coffee shop since before the lockdowns, and I miss the atmosphere and the music! This tune feels to me like sitting in a cafe. (Every time I think it's done, I end up tweaking it a bit more in Audacity…

Just like melted Butter but more pristine.
