Thinking of summer.........original guitar composition.........by Dave Berry

A playful tune made up on the spot as a studio demonstration. Really quite silly! If you listen closely you can hear my wife questioning the use of the small diaphragm mic on the vocal track.

This was one of several songs I recorded in a session on the night of my 29th birthday. I had decided to just start playing and see how many tunes I could write straight through without stopping. My only rule was that these tunes had to be totally…

This is a tune I wrote to illustrate how silly the state of world affairs had become. Or maybe I was reading too many old story books...who knows...

This song was inspired by a melody my then 2 year old daughter was playing on the harmonica one day back in 2004. I picked up my guitar and strummed along....I kept playing around with it and "Caught in the Rain" was born.

A Highly disappointing arrangement i just threw out there cause i tried it multiple times and gave up. this was the best The Tempo sucks in the beginning and some notes are really sour. ( and there's some really beautiful parts i messed up that…

This is a page from my "sketchbook". I regularly sit with a guitar and just let the flow of thoughts drift up in words and progressions. I will rather "surf" an idea that arises on some set of words, but I don't "control" much of this. So it's…

Just a little vocal valentine. Improvised.

Without the waffle

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…

A guy I work with got his National Guard call up to go to Iraq a week after he got married. I tried to put myself in his place. Here's what I came up with.

One in a lifeless space. Cold. Only the power of spirit can help to survive and to love again. ~Furiously~

I was asked to write a theme for a warehouse level of a game that some friends of mine are making.

anutha one for rpm, this is I think the final idea for the hath beezlebub tune, just maybe more added to it. Half Ass Metallica stuff here.

I write a Vikings parody song for every game of the Minnesota Vikings season for my blog, which is found at http://www.thevikingship.net This is a parody of Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain Roger…

A fragile love song .....

for ImprovFriday 2/10-12 2011 ambient impro+tweaks

the sound in the intro, that carries through out the song, I made by taking a the sound of a saw cutting some metal and I warped it using processing effects. What resulted sounded like a bunch of androids marching.

The other night a few of Elvis's friends came over to see him and the thetworegs were listening in by the ventilation shaft from the cellar and they took a liking to a jam that was happening with a man called Diamond Neil doing the Vocals. This…

As the title says I spent some time with my 17 et guitar. I purposefully tried doing non-12 sounding stuff with what I think is moderate success. I believe I will have to resort to some "dots" to get some new scales in 17 et down - there just…

While waiting for a time for his release date from his successful appeal. Reg whiled the last hours of his incarceration talking to his cell mate Disappointed Dennis. Dennis told Reg of some of the disappointments in his life and so Reg dedicated…

Only in Disneyland is a 17 note per octave guitar solo. This was recorded direct in a Alesis multimix 8 into Sonar X1 with Lexicon reverb and Sonitus multiband EQ / compression.

rpm 2011 I don't want to wake up Don't want to watch tv Don't want to go to work No desire to read Don't want to take out the trash Don't want to take off my shades Don't want to mow the yard I've got better things to do Surfin round…

A little devilish acoustic piece in 5/4.

Bouncy minor key happiness with sloppy drumming (by me).
