no story, just a tune don't yah know

Find joy in your life, when you leave you leave only memories.

Finally, after several years of having lyrics for a song about and for my daughter, I am starting to write it... this is the first draft. singing over most of this at some point. Music & Lyrics by Ed Price Copyright 2021 Compass Since…

It has nothing to do with the lake in Louisiana.

Written for Novembers Record Every Month project. I was feeling frustrated about COP 26 in Glasgow and our joint failure to act on climate change, despite the visible effects around the world and here in my own city.

From a little 4" reel of tape, this is the first attempt I made at using a Time Lag Accumulator set-up, where the tape is strung between two machines (in this case a Tandberg 3341X and a cheap Sears portable), with the initial sound recorded on…

November is National Solo Album Month and the internet recording challenge that desperately needs a new acronym is just about to end. I started. Gave up. Got back into it. Gave up again. Got back into it again. Now here we are about 27 hours…

I added this silly little thing to the National Solo Album Month project as an after thought because I was worried I wasn't going to have enough music to qualify. I absolutely would have, but I am still glad I did this one. It's silly, it's…

Another National Solo Album Month song that isn't so bad. I kinda dig the groove in the chorus. There is a B3 organ all the way through, mostly just doubling the guitars. Actually, the B3 came first so the guitars are doubling it, not the other…

This is my third music experiment 🌈.

UnCaged: 33'4'' - it's a piece we've recently recorded for the French label, Camembert Électrique, to be released on a compilation called "Silence" in early December. It was John Cage whose 4'33'' cleverly demonstrated the near impossibility of…

It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing. Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year. Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…

Still searching Im still searching Below the fallen moon Like a needle in a haystick Still searching for you Is it still all a dream You know what I mean Surely surely it must be now Tell me when and how My wise owl says try again…

A melancholic mood befitting the on-set of winter

Well this one goes straight to the garbage pile. It's not the worst song of the month but I would be pretty happy if I never heard it again as long as I live. Unfortunately I have to hit 29:09 to qualify for National Solo Album Month and…

If not for the tempo change at the end this would be bound for the trash heap. The verses suck. The chorus sucks. The bridge thingie is okay. The ending sucks. The only thing it has going for it is a tempo change. Why the hell does GarageBand…

This is me goofing around. I was watching gear demos on YouTube and one post had a guy jamming over a bass/drum loop and I thought, I can do that! It's two guitar tracks one on the left and one on the right and they just take turns noodling…

We are ending the 2021 National Solo Album Month on a high note, as I actually kinda like this one. It started out as a little arpeggio picking warm up I was doing one day and it turned into a song. I don't think I have the dynamics quite right…
