This song's going on 32 years old... Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!! I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons: "The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it. I'd actually settled down to finally record a…

**** Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…

Something tells me I'll be mixing this one again soon. The lyrics here are specifically about 9/11, but I guess it would apply to any major event. I was just listening to the accounts of people who were there at the time and comparing their…

Not terribly thrilled with the mix, but otherwise this one is okay by me. The idea was to write one riff that repeats for the length of the song and then have the dynamics and the melody take care of differentiating between verses and choruses…

With music written and performed by Aged Machine for the RPM Challenge, 2013. Demo version.

Finally, at last... I've got something finished... Been working on this for a few weeks. A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that) I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…

Main battle theme

First track recorded live at Proctors Theater in Schenectady NY sometime in 1994. We had the place all to ourselves. A huge Victorian theater with us just set up in a circle on the stage with some overhead mics. No overdubs, straight to DAT.

From several years ago..

The second word Then from the three. The middle stands out. Second from I. No reason to doubt. Call out loud.... Say it for all you're worth... Pay it the due you would ... If it were gone... Keep it safe, From all of our mistakes. For…

Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)

Original song kind of in response the Pussycat Dolls song. I'd like to dedicate this to Eddie Van Halen, for being such a massive inspiration to a generation. If you're reading this Eddie, thanks. And please don't sue me for stealing your riffs.

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

This is about where the f*ck does a song come from?? I don't know, and I can barely hang on.. Recorded with the Boss Micro BR with one take tracks and bounced until there was nothing left in the poor girl.

A Version of Moonlight Sonata Performed by OsCKilO as part of the "Cities Festival" on SongCrafters.org. Guitar and strings. The arrangement was marred by the recent disorder in London. It is with a sadness that this set of events has made…

i was listening to a post of this Beatles cover by oldrottenhead this morning,,it is a really great song, so this evening i sort of just sort of sat down an let it happen,,i didn't even really know the song as much as i might like,, but i find…

A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell. The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc. In Cuba, the…

I heard this from Rick & Norm and read how Rick had described the track and something clicked. So here it is, what do i know..

Well, I finally got my hands on a 17 note per octave electric guitar thanks for Brad Smith, a local Luthier who did a lovely conversion of a Jay Turser strat copy I bought at the local Guitar Center for $65. The guitar is nicely very bright…

My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…

an improv with the ol pedal steel, with loads of fx. Spent a lot of time trying to get the noise off this track, but had limited success.

A Selected Preview From The Upcoming B.G Halloween Album....

This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques. Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is. The piano, bass…

Fender Mustang guitar, Roland GR-20, and Fractal Tune Smithy Alontone refused to accept the update

In 2006 we visited a Japanese garden. In September of 2009 I wrote this piano piece in 17 ET and I hear a connection between the two. So I put together a video from pictures and video taken of our visit and married the two. Please visit the song…

Putting Coins On The Eyes Of The Dead

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
