Tom Izzo's realization.

drip by drip.. I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience. The trumpet and violin bits are played…

I had some fun this afternoon with a bluesy tune - and ran out of time for singing and my vocals are not good - wanna try? I need to remember to tune my guitars down when I want to sing - that would make my life easier.

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…

Drive cleaning time!! Found this arrangement left over from RPM. The drum track was already mixed from my old kit. I cut it and mashed it up trying to fix it when I mix it. Then I added some vintage synth sounds, some guitars, and some reptilian…

Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!

Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified. This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up. I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…

More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992

Rumba Columbia is a traditional Cuban pattern in 6: the "go-to" pattern for 12/8 - if you have only heard one Afro-Cuban rhythm in 12/8, this is probably it. As an energetic Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it…

Taking A Lot Of Vicodin While Making This

somehow i wandered in this very different direction

This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…

Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

Many thanks to Kirk Lynch, a real gentleman and a pleasure to jam with. His tracks are the heart of this tune. Lyrics: I have a a pain deep in my Chest I can’t Breathe as I Light my cigarette Oh my head, Woe is me Oh my head, Woe is me But…

For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom! ** this could really use a tasty melody to go with…

Yeah, that Doors song.

Song For Asylums

For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume. recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009. I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound. Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem. Because that makes much…

A marching band composition depicting the before and after the Industrial Revolution.

Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…

The first beat I ever made, first song I produced :) Please forgive the ill advised symbol.

This one I wrote for my Grandson.

This song was extracted from one of my live show recordings in Second Life in 2025.

Broken Heart

A downtempo drone tune with (hopefully) unsettling ambience inspired by John Barry's soundtrack for the classic sci-fi movie, The Black Hole. Featuring sounds from my Kyra (the awesome pads with a fantastic native rectifier effect and manual…
