Hey, "Panda (Igbo Version)" crooner is out with a new tune titled "LEGACY", its a song you need to listen to. Legacy is a song Yung Kizxy wrote for his friends and his school Legacy University Okija, Anambra State, Nigeria. The 18 year old rapper…

With music by Geoffrey Armes, written and recorded for RPM 2017.

"Castaway of Love" is a song by Brian, one of our guitar players who until now has been shy about sharing his talent. When he told me the title of this song I was expecting a 1920's style megaphone crooner melody, but was happily surprised by…

With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza". The sun left the city, from the ground Moonlight woke up, falling down Why are you scared, free as a bird Now that the heat…

The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…

Just messing around with some ideas. 1/2 Step down standard tuning.

Can you feel my heart instrumental version

No more sin or sorrow foolish fancy to a fault No more dirth upon the land that withers under the assault No more Babylon behavior bobbing up and down and up until we drown away each memory scattered from a shattered cup. No more crying for…

Unfinished rough draft from March 2012. I envisioned a series of quick solos in the instrumental section — an aural equivalent of "seeing the sights."

Walking alone in late February Thinking on friends I’d lost John and Sean and Christopher Ryan, Ian, and Mark Some of them fell to fever and drink Some to women or song One of them made it to the good life But all of them are gone All…

This is the well known Catholic prayer, Come Holy Spirit. I have my whole family singing on this one and my brother Mike also playing bass. We switch off singing lead - myself first, Mark next and then Mike.

This is the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel by Pope Leo XIII. I put it to my own melody a few years ago. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke…

Run bird run

I wrote this for my girlfriend, but she'll never hear it because Travis Twitt is the earth moon and sun. It's not really that good anyway :)

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording. I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

This track took a bit longer than expected to complete, however it's been one of our favorites in a while. It all started on night after leaving gig and we'd needed a little something to spice it up on the dance floor. Hence, we began something…

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.

Spun around like a seer's needle A philosopher so lost in his riddle Tries to speak but no longer able Drifting in the deepest dream --- This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out? Freesound samples used…

Product of noodling around. Lead guitars are a combo of UAD's Nigel plugin and the Fractal Axe Fx. Clean guitars are the Fractal. The outro guitars are my Princeton Recording amp. I played the piano's through my midi guitar and Axon. You can…

A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not... Recorded Jan-Feb 2011. I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it. I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

I did this live performance at the Shore 104.3 radio station yesterday (Aug.25'10) directly after singing this song in the vancouver PNE talent contest and winning first prize! hope you like it! Check out the video of the PNE performance!

I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

I'm learning to 'listen' to the 'flow' of life all around me and not get so caught up in little things that don't really matter. Learning to enjoy! Life is good... The river runs and i look into it i see myself in a million faces there…

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

I’m your janitor today, I do it for the pay and Soak in the shadow The pistol, a blade in trade I use my hands to feel sane It crawls out my heart, to my arm, Up the wrist, So close to your throat Crawling Crawling No future in your flight…

For the RPMC album "Sabbatical"

Part 3 of Actor/Director Ron Weber's many flubs and outtakes during a voice recording session for a radio show about Broadway musicals. Collage made with a 360 Systems Short Cut editor.

I tried to finish some tracks that were filling up my laptop. I managed to write lyrics and record vocals for 4 so I guess we’ll call it an EP. Third track again with the fretless bass and with my trusty old Poly800. The instrumental came together…

Back again with another track, hoping to put it all out there before the end. The Lying Dog is written by our drummer Matt, who insists he didn't have any particular person in mind when he wrote it. Please to enjoy.
