Track 2 from the minialbum 2b2. Can be seen as a short successor of FraxurY, because again soundwaves from my Swedish collegue and mate frags were used here. For this release again a combination of scandinavian names and dutch dodekagrams…

from the album "Orange" We'll come this way, knock it off The same as me, in a souvenir Should it be, all the sameness ceases to be All the sameness feels like a blanket on fire These mini-catastrophes are easy to wait out Cause we're…

Randy Brown and I did a little co-write this evening and this is what we came up with... I MISTOOK IT FOR THE MOON Capo @ 2 Key D (Play in C positions) I was coasting across West Texas/Had my top down, it was late at night I caught a coyote…

True ambient. Be patient. It might be not so easy to get an idea of the piece. It will likely take couple times to listen to it.

from the new album "Orange" Where’s the sun? waiting on the sun. And sitting in the grey of this new dawn And knowing that this is my last day, my last day Why can’t you see, I’ve been deep in this for such a lonely time And it’s getting…

Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven. I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…

Love sweet love plain and simple

Oh, my holy noodles. *Another* bloody 12-bar in E, and what's worse, it's a *slow* blues. Every guitar player who deems it appropriate to play a slow blues in E, in this the 21st, should be roasted like a head of garlic, smeared across a toasted…

Sour Milk on your Weetabix. Can you imagine it?

I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go. Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell Hope you guys like it. See you…

Ah I hope that my title is not overly presumptious...I love funk and just assume every one else does too :)

Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…

EVERYONE HAS ONE, DON'T THEY?

Perhaps you could use a little fatherly advice? Well here it is! Chording improvisation on 7 different conga drums tuned to an octave and set to 3-2 rumba clave. LYRICS Lookie here hot-shot: a silent fool is half a wise-man And there…
