This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...

I've been told that drowning is a dreamy way to go. THE ANGELS CRIED "NO!" He lived high on the mountain top He lived there with his love He tumbled to the valley deep When she gave him a shove And when he hit the valley deep It must…

My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.

An improv in a found tuning. E and A strings tuned WAY down so they're slapping the neck: A(low) E(low) C# E A C# Super full moon tonight! (View More for video)

A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!

Sassy Nation version! Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not... Recorded Jan-Feb 2011. I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it. I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

Tang paid for the rights to use this on a CD, but never did. If the publishing rights holder wants it back, he'll accept refund. Tangmo himself is gone and there ain't no sunshine in more ways than one. Uploading for him. Enjoy.

One of the joys of listening to music on the internet is encountering music that sets off chimes of inspiration in our own minds. This holds especially true when the one doing the inspiring is a friend. Bruce Lesisko uploaded a song called Flyfinger…

More on the "Freak" end of the Orphans and Freaks designation. Most of the time I'm making music for myself, and this one just makes me happy, no matter how hard I try to resist.

If your movie needs an 80's montage song, perhaps you should consider this one... :)

Gary Thompson from the Music by Computer yahoo list (aka Johnny Pumphandle) remixed me version 2 of Sweeny's Agony - and blew me away - by toning down the volume he brought out a lot more soul in my opinion. I love it - and I hope you do too. Chris

As can happen when you listen to sometime a million times over your mind and ears start accepting things that later you wish you had not. This is a (much better imho) revision thanks to the urging of Gary from the music by computer list.

Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…

There is a whole galaxy out there. I played this cold and made some mistakes on the inversions, oh well. I will re-record it when I get a chance.

I read about the Duodene in Doty's book and wanted to try it. I took the opportunity of Margo's scala formatted duodene on the nonoctave forum to toss it into fractal tune smithy and improvise with the tuning. I hope you don't find this too…

Did the world really need a cheesy, spaghetti western version of this classic Eagles song? I'm not sure. Did I make one anyway? Yes. Yes, I did. By the way the painting is "Villa Diablo" by Downe Burns. keywords: old clint eastwood movies, the…

This is a solo piano performance using an M-Audio 88es midi controller, Pianoteq, and a tuning I devised that is based on a harmonic series segment reduced to one octave. Online play and download plus scala formatted tuning are here: http…
