Started out a freestyle... ended up a song for da mixtape. BeeOne "No Doe" Written, Composed, Recorded & Engineered by BeeOne for HoodBizne$$ Music

This is inspired by Frippitronics. Frippontroncis is I call non-traditional mood music invented by Robert Fripp master guitarist for King Crimson. It involves loops of sustained guitars, in this case using an e-bow. I usually do one of these…

And how was *your* Friday night? Here I try to see just how far I can push 4 chords (that I ended up stripping down to a 1 note bassline).

This is piece that I recorded while playing in my living room one morning. It's a purely improvised piece. I just put the Mac laptop into record and began playing. I used my Goodall 12 string in standard tuning. I always include improvs when…

Day #6 and it's still solo piano. And I think this is the most I've ever written *just* piano before. I do miss patches and polish, but it's all raw material that could be built into something more later on. Or left alone. And for once, this…

Did I mention I'm taping my songwriting sessions? So I now have about 30 minutes of footage of me totally screwing around at the beginning of this session. Listening to Spotify. Playing melodies by ear and such. And then I finally decided…

Well I *had* intended to try doing something different this week. So technically I succeeded. It's solo piano again, but I had to teach my left hand how to play this somewhat syncopated bass line, before I could actually compose against it…

This is our saddest ever song.

When I uploaded this last night I thought it was a failure, this morning I am not so sure. I've just listened to it again and, while it fails to live up to my expectations when I started, there's something about it that I like. The initial…

Describe it?! What do I look like a writer?

My lovely little wife and her Father Lee singing a cover of the 1973 gospel tune Dan Schutte. One track, one take in the front room of South House Studios. Some people call it a "living room".

Used Michelangelo's percussion track.

Track three from the 2010 RPM album "They Are Killers"

"Farmer's Blow" is redneck rap. Oh yeah, I went there. - - - If you're on the run And your nose has gotta go Don't grab a tissue Do the farmer's blow Just tilt your head To the side Then block one nostril And let it ride You may think That…

My first upload for the 2010 RPM Challenge! I wanted to make a mean-sounding, minimal, instrumental groove track, and this is what I came up with. I tried a bunch of different bass lines, but they all made it sound too busy.

RPM track

The Bells... The Bells!

A track for the 2010 RPM Challenge. There are (3) 12 string acoustic parts, (3) key parts,(2) lead electric guitars and drum-machine tracks. Vocals anyone?

Something of a departure for me.

Played all at once through a little plastic hole (Micro BR), so I know it needs to be redone. I've been down with swine fever for the past few days and have barely been able to hang onto a guitar, so this ought to be a crowd pleaser :) A song…
