Yeah another old one, my nod to the swinging sixty's.... I hope !!!!!

This is a piece of music I created and recorded in my home studio on 10/6/2012. It has no name yet. Part of the inspiration behind this piece is I have friends scattered across the continents and we want to write together online. This is the first…

Once upon a time there was a boy with tunnel vision hidden far beyond the castle walls of a lifelong prison. Captive to a secret that kept him there under lock and key. Imagine was his sanity. Thirteen days before thirteen he broke a sacred vow…

This is an idea not a song and it is in rough form. I needed to upload this to share it with a couple other songwriters that I know and so here it is. Hope you like it in it's raw form. Learn more about Frank Porter music by visiting www.reverbnation…

The lyrics for this song were taken from an email conversation with a friend. He was explaining to me that he and his girl friend didn't work out because they were "emotionally incompatible".

More stupid remixes. I ruined the end of this, not sure if I'm going to keep it or start over from scratch. [decided to keep it as is; lesson learned]

I use to have a studio in a small city and most days I would see these two fella's walking the streets or asking for some change. They were a visual part of my life so much that if I didn't see them for a day or two I would wonder where they went…

Well I started this with a little guitar groovin' thing I was playing with and laid it down to a click track thinking I was going to just keep it just guitar , bass and vocals and off it went. This song really is just all about life moving by…

I keep walking Through the bush And I pass death I can almost touch And I hide my eyes From the light And there's rain and thunder in my soul I'm a traveller in the night I'm a night traveller I call again on the dark A place where ghosts whisper…

Started with a funky guitar groove and it evolved from there.

woke up from a bad sleep because there was a mosquito in my room driving me crazy ... I had no words to this tune and just spontaneously put down what ever came into my head and sang it .

I've always wanted to do a big band blues tune ... this is as close as I'll ever get!

I experimented with my uke.

Started as an acoustic bluesy tune and it grew from there. I used my acoustic/electric godin and some midi organ and horns ... nothin's ever easy

gettin' some chicken bumps! Get down and get funky!

I have always loved jazz and blues but never really had the chops to really play jazz. But I can feel it and I tried to create that feel with this tune using my sweet old 63 jazzmaster. This was also an experiment in doing a complete time change…

Waiting for something that would be: familiar feeling, isn't it? We look forward to when she comes back, look forward to when the morning comes; waiting to stop the rain (or when will finally rain...). Life itself is a... waiting? Note…

Am blodau sy'n ei dorri yn rhy ifanc...

Lyrics: Assimilate the young and weak Indoctrinate the rest in blood The rising sun burns out the truth Our fate foretold in manuscript Tear down the structures And take up arms Indoctrinate your beliefs Hates inception This is the end Dawns…

Yay!

In the dark of night I pray To see the moon shine through Tear the veil of fear away And I will follow You Sin and shame are clouds that hide The light of Love and Truth Mercy melts the mask of Pride So I will follow You I remember how You saved…

Warning: Crude (by today's standards) Synthesizer (Amiga MED module, ca 1992) Science fiction. It's a genre, isn't it? Yes, but for *writing*, not music, muttonhead! So say the squares. To which I say: bah! This piece has a somewhat…

Warning: Crude (by today's standards) Synthesizer (Amiga MED module, ca 1993) A dance/pop arrangement of a tune which I can only describe as ZOMG HAPPY. Due to the technical limitations of Amiga audio (stereo with only 2 voices per channel…

Warning: Synthesized Acoustic Instruments (JV-30, ca 1997) A jazz-rock fusion arrangement of a tune which I can only describe as ZOMG HAPPY.

My experimentation with lo-fi surf rock that's so popular with the tumblr kids. I literally wrote the lyrics when I was drunk and pissed off. I'll upload a better version with fewer mistakes and more verses later. LYRICS: i saw the girl with…

Inspired by the melody line of a particularly crappy video game for the Super Nintendo that I loved as a child. LYRICS: Please take me alive So for another moment I can survive. Oh baby it's a shame, but we're both the same inside. I…

Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…

Just in time for the big 2012 election! *** BANJO WARNING *** Just me and me banjo. Inspired by a story my journalist daughter in Moscow just published. She was too small when we moved to Russia to remember that politicians shaking hands…

Warning: Synthesized Acoustic Instruments (JV-30, ca 1997) A simple rustic air with a sitar duet jammed into the bridge. That tells a profound and hearfelt story about city planning. Or not.

This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.

Fabrizio Fulvio Fausto Fiale master minded this microtonal version of a Black Sabbath classic. I ruined the vocals I'm afraid :-(
