progressive rock, prog rock

a field recording/sound collage from last Saturday at the Fort Worth MOMA. Sounds inside the Serra sculpture Vortex, and the African percussion/dance ensemble Jumbie.

step sequencer improv (minimalist) from 2005

This is a remake of Samba do Bonde, now with portuguese lyrics. A loose translation below: Priviledge, the two of us here to sit, converse, to feel the warmth of friendship always too brief just a give and take between immortals (close…

Best Punk band ever!

i got home from street chant at like 2am, took my clothes off, sat on my bed and wrote this. its about me. and you and me. and i dedicate it to sylvia plath, because she is very cool.

from the album "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocals & samples from Barney of Vivian Circle I’m just singing for the war, inside me Four thousand soldiers dead, maybe more, maybe more It’s hard to read between the lines, so blurry now…

Recorded in 2005. The keyboard sound in the second half is a backwards electric piano processed through a triggered filter (kind of like a Mutron III). Muted the vocals cos I'm not too pleased with the lyrics or performance.

Recorded in 2006. ambient, Ambien, muy bien. *opens window and takes deep breath* Backwards electric piano through a ring modulator and an echo, then processed to death in WaveLab.

The first cracks in the new relationship start to show from the Beginings Tapes

6 hour mini album 11/14/10

This song was recorded in Oct. 2010, but it was written in 1970 or 71 after a phone call from my brother Joe who was on the lam from the law and living in Northern CA. The song proved prophetic. He was found dead of a drug overdose in Panhandle…

Another Embrace track

A cello improvisation with live looping, recorded after hearing of the passing of a great composer.

Thanks everyone for the input!! I guess i'll go without vocals

Algorithmic totalist piece.

This is for anyone who has ever been a member of a garage band, especially one who didn't quite make it.

A droney xaphoon improvisation with live looping.

. . . or least 3 and a half years closer than them first time I recorded this. *updated audio 8-11-12

....another Peggy dream. She tiptoes to my room She leans over my bed And she kisses me I leave my doors unlocked so she can come to me When she misses me And I pretend that I'm asleep But that's not easy When she kisses me...

Another version of this. Door-to-door-to-door . . . LYRICS: Always heading in one direction never knowing where the next connection is or where it is that I am going next Should I take a right or take a left? There's a detour that I…

Ideas and patterns, especially in music, comes immediate, and often as quickly disappear - as if they were not there at all. That is why a true Knight Of The Music is always ready. In the modern sense, this means that his studio all the time is…

A cover I put together awhile back :)

progressive rock, space rock, instrumental rock, prog rock

This is for today's Improvfriday. Being all a first pass improvisation against a drum beat - there are mistakes. I did go back and spiced up the drums just a bit. everything but the drums is my Roland GR-20

Part of the mini-album "featuring Justbase" with his great percussional tribute

Little solo Session with JamMan Looper using a Eventide Modfactor, Timefactor together with E-Bow and Volume-Pedal

Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…

Written by Brando and Laura Kepner-Adney. This song is just cute and fun. I hope it makes your day.

I thought..... why not what the hell!

For Bee........

Just about going crazy these days! Mental health day... this has elements from an earlier tune of mine... Thanks for stopping by. Doug

Simon has done a lovely cover of this song. So I thought I would muck it up and put some bass on.

... again ... for Randy. Memories of old magazines gathering dust on the shelves with things you never could let go of. Dirty chess sets hardly touched. Empty bottles of cheap scotch you never could get enough of. And it's a shameful world…

This song is something special to me. I think it was special to John too. It hurts to miss people who are gone from your life, but I think it's worse to forget them.

Komisch!

mixing track one and two on the two cd's i burned of my music back in 2007, again. I had never gotten around to promoting this stuff i just listened to it myself usually
