(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…

rpm 2011

This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You? RPM 2011 -

Harmonica by Dr. K -------------------------------------------------- Paper hearts in your window paper hearts on your door Paper hearts ripped in pieces And Strewn across the floor but who am I to question The intentions of old…

rpm 2011 You asked me where these rumors start. "I don't know," I said and crossed my heart. But I told you I did not hope to die. You said you can't trust no more. Why start now? You never did before. Now I just have to pause and wonder…

I've been all around I've been up and down I said I've traveled in all directions Now The world is new If you've seen what I've seen And you've been where I've been I guess you know what I mean Now The world is new RPM 2011 -

This is for when you get blocked out...

I tries to wake the dead. Oh if your not dead then adjust the volume at different times.. It took an hour of continuous performance before I settled down and recorded this and did excerpts and layered it here.

Finished my RPM CD. Headphones and volume knobs required! Noah and the Guardians of the Sky is a Wildgeas Sci-Fi Ambient project.

I used a clip of the English version of greetings recorded on the gold disk on board Voyager 1. Thanks NASA/JPL Headphones and volume knobs required! Noah and the Guardians of the Sky is a Wildgeas Sci-Fi Ambient project.

Almost finished... Headphones and volume knobs required! Noah and the Guardians of the Sky is a Wildgeas Sci-Fi Ambient project.

This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.

Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center. I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…

Desirae & Johnny were lovers but they got into debt and Desirae left Johnny. Johnny didn't handle the separation at all well.............

zither, slide mandolin, vocal not the best recording - oh well.

After spending some time listening to Breaking Light, I figured I can try more guitar sounds in these ambient productions. Headphones and volume knobs required! Noah and the Guardians of the Sky is a Wildgeas Sci-Fi Ambient project.

Compare to "Coughdrop Overdose" from RPM 2010. =)

Hey... i've been absent for some days. Sad, depressing days. And happy days.

Contrast to "Adrift In The Enigma Shift" from RPM 2010..

these are the messages from my machine. I did this before but somehow had to do this again. of course the answering machine messages were edited for content .. :)

I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…

Was Reg daydreaming had Robert Plant really just come down the cellar bar to visit Elvis and sang while he played. He shook his head and resumed playing .....................

Reg has seriously got the blues and can't seem to leave the empty bar, there is just him and Elvis in there. The strange thing is that the tables and chairs are there, the bar and the stools but there is no booze behind the bar just empty glasses…

this gets loud at minute 3 and never settles down. wawoots. :) till about minute 7.5 then it quite outs.. then the end just kills me and yes I know I performed that but still it kills me LOL

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…

I wrote this song as one in a series of potential songs to be performed at a friends wedding. I liked this one so much that I modified the lyrics and recorded this version as part of my "Transition" album.

Commemorating the epic struggle taking place in Wisconsin (USA) an improvised piece for orchestral, Indian, Chinese, and African percussion plus 3 synthesizers in harmonic series tuning. (A straight harmonic series from C1 and on up). Performed…

some how this was mixed for the pleasure of ours.

I am noticing a patter in the musics like at minute five to minute five and a half I start to slow down and change up the systems.. anyway when i mixed the two things they came out like this.

wire works of the series is more in there?

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.

this is mostly sync level play and other things too. It seems the Microkorg likes being controlled by the supernova II :)

something I might work more on but after crashing the acid program I am leery some.

finally uploading this version to demonstrate my method of beat creating because this version sounds better at faster tempo.

First of 24 new song I have written. This one is cute, about unrequited love no doubt. #:) When I say 24 new songs not all will make the cut but most of them will. I will be busy for a good long time!! Using pointless picks of course. See my…

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

Most of you probably haven’t seen Reg dance, so I should explain it to you. When Reg takes his “classic moves” to the dance floor everyone else steps aside to just watch – well, that is everyone except a few of the most self confident…

Just improvising over the So What main riff.

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.

Reg has been dancing on the scene and started drinking again, this freedom he wanted so badly is harder than he thought. But he'll get through it.........
