I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop using a Just Intonation tuning (below). Actually I had to improvise…

Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…

Just found out that I can connect our Yamaha Clavinova to the computer. Hell up.

(Bowers, Rainbowtruth) from the LP "Over the Counter and Through the Woods" circa 1997. Barnett: Lead vocal/guitar Osborne: Drums/backing vocal Bowers: Bass/spoken vocal Duff: Guitar One of my favorites. Don't be fooled, the sampled snare…

This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…

After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific. Bandit rides in the back of my truck A big…

Not terribly odd except for how I did it with Fretless gutiar. I recently bought a used Fender Squier for $60, pulled the frets with pliers, filled the cuts with plastic wood, sanded, and jammed. Took about 2 hours to make the guitar fretless…

Had to do this one on the fly before an open mic night.... Sorry about the quality... Came up with the song this morning ...... One take... GTR+MIC on one tracks (doubled up), Played live.... Not much time to record music or…

Track four from the mumble mumble EP. I'd much prefer this to have an opposing female vocal line to my own, as my own voice harmonizing with itself sounds a little, well, strange, especially given the lyric subject matter. But, oh well, we all…

Written and Recorded June 5/6, 2010 Details: No-name lap steel (FCFFCF),POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity. A quick little improv. Too lazy to grab a guitar so just used the lap steel. I think it still has the same strings on it from…

What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes... Amy Pond Red hair and that pretty face beneath it My how you've grown up after oh so many years I've only been away for ten or…

For penny whistle and guitars.

Jonathan Thomas begins a new series in 1 Corinthians. This sermon is entitled 'The elephant in the room'.

...Tim Conway and Don Knotts, in the Woody, as the Wookalar lurks silently in the back of the wagon, don't expect a thing until its inhuman roar splits the silent air. As the creature lurches into the front seat, the car careens out of control...

This one is called "Your Light". Hope you Like it! Peace Tharek LYRICS -YOUR LIGHT- -By Tharek Mokbul- We’ve heard all the compliments. All said in a day. They’ve lost all their meaning now. Wasted away. They were there…

Had this guitar thing around for a while - I finally "finished" it - enjoy!
