Testing out new samples

Noise track

Driving South on a two lane interstate in Pennsylvania at 1:00am can be hazardous to your health. Just saying. The leads on this one used an actual amplifier instead of a headphone amp. My crybaby pedal needs to be cleaned, as you can hear.

I love my wife. I don't love this song. I had tried to use more settings on my Pod than usual. In some cases (this case) I don't like what I used.

I swear my cat is plotting to kill me.

I worked on this project in February and March of 2010, then again in January of 2011. In July of 2011 I made a final push, starting with the lyrics to this song. Hence the theme. On a side note, don't you hate it when you work a riff into…

It's not the worst song ever... but it's close.

A Bonus track. This was actually written for songfight.org. It probably should have been tacked onto the 2009 RPM record as the song fight took place between 07/29/08 and 08/08/08. I wrote it and recorded it with a scratch vocal in one…

From the album IT WAS A DARK & STORMY NIGHT..

One guy, one day. 2005 Labor Day. I dig this song personally.

I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…

From the album THE MAN FROM TAURED.

This isn't a track per se. I made a video of progress with an instrument and this is the soundtrack. It's something of a mishmash of strange noises. That will come as little to surprise regular listeners. The instrument is an evolution of my…

Simon and I have spent a bit of time on this hope you enjoy. We had fun creating it.

12 string improvisation - title came from a person who said I didn't understand "deep blues". That is probably true which is why I got the blues ;-( Feel free to use this in something if you'd like - just post a link in the comments here so I…

Another morning show. This show featured my good and extremely talented friend Heidi Rojas!!

There was this biker bar called The 2500 Club. Just west of Sylvania on Belknap. On a sign outside it says, "The best little biker bar in Texas." Guthrie and Rick and I played there long enough to get to feeling pretty much like family. EVERYBODY…

This is my cover of "Blown Away" by Shiny Toy Guns: www.shinytoyguns.com If you like it at all, I recommend checking them out. They're great. All instruments, vocals, mixing, etc. performed by me. Lyrics, for those who like them: Days…

Recorded for ImprovFriday - yes I flub some notes badly and that G minor had no right being there!! - that's the danger of a live improvisation, at least at my skill level. The guitar is an Epiphone C70CE classical acoustic with piezo pickup…

needs a new vocal, so i muted it. also plan on replacing the DI acoustic/electrics (which i don't think were played all that well) with one miked acoustic guitar and maybe a clean Tele playing a different part. EP needs some corrective EQ to sit…

This is a captured and then edited live performance using the Sonar Matrix view using various samples - some of which were paul stretched. I'm liking this - if only they had the possibility to change the pitch live it would be like sticking…

"Slave to Nature, Escape!" Dear sculptors of conscious thought, Dear dagger-tongued pacifists, Dear kittens-in-mittens, Just because I've grown accustomed to your presence in the mirrors does not imply that you are welcome. Are the…

This song is the most emotional I've ever been a part of. My friend, Amber Noir (Bracy), wrote the lyrics in a poem, and I put music to it and arranged it. We recorded it, and it was very interesting to get into character, because this poem/song…

This was a collab i heard today on Songcrafters and was wondering wether to ask to have a go at it vocally when Tharek sent me message asking me to have a go so Thanks Tharek and Dave, i am more than pleased to give it a go. i loved this music…

The answer to the question: What if Genesis wrote for Nintendo game systems? wikipedia entry for the song is below. http://tinyurl.com/23pla6

Just an instrumental. more experimenting with different tunings.

An old blues song that I first saw Clapton do on a train during what looks like a 70s tour. Classic.

thought i'd throw it out there. take it. use it. if you like.

I Ate My Xanadu ADDENDUM TO THE INCIDENT REPORT It’s burning. Nothing else matters. Nothing. It’s burning and I love it. It’s so clear what is illusion and what is real. I love the clarity. I could drink it. I could eat it. I could…
