As you age, as you improve your speaking skills and gain experience, you try to speak to others more accurately and concisely. And immediately you are faced with the problem that you have nothing to say, or with the fact that most of what is said…

3 independent dulcimer improvs done beside my cat Nellie. Remixed in-line afterwards with efx.

My wife and I get a new ornament every year, for something memorable from the past year. This is a Christmas song about that tradition. I don't know if it's destined to become a Christmas classic, but I quite like it :) Edit: uploaded a new…

Faux 17 edo blues - rock band

I like the theme music to the PBS/BBC mystery series Midsomer Murders with its use of a Theramin. So much so that it inspired me to purchase a Theramin and try my hand recording my version of it. The first thing I learned is, while the Theramin…

A very soft cover of the Barenaked Ladies' hit, Brian Wilson. Their (excellent) tune is normally played with gusto. The live version on the Rock Spectacle album is dripping with energy, and that's usually how I like to play it. But today I thought…

Still on the fence whether he's coming or not. My money being spent on dumb bets lol

Not bad. Not great. Nothing special, but kinda fun. Super simple. The verse and the chorus are the same riff in different keys. I'm surprised how badly the vocal lags. It's so far behind the beat you could fly a plane through the gap. I…

Songs with long, drawn out endings that don't quite relate to the rest of the song is kinda of a theme this month. This one fits that bill. It's nothing special. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's going on the NaSoAlMo album, but if I…

Blimey, I raided the achive ... this must be almost 20 years old or something like that, don't time fly .......

Oh go on then, have two from the achive .... got say, I think maybe we need a bit of this right now ........

National Solo Album Month continues with another ho-hum rock song with an overly drawn out ending. I almost like the chorus. Actually, I almost like the whole song. It's just kinda... there. The ending was supposed to be a one bar phrase repeated…

A song called losers lose, written in November 2020. Will history know what I was talking about? Probably. Hopefully. Sloppy, weak, plodding. I kinda like the chorus. I kinda like the break in the middle. I definitely like the harmonies…

One of those pieces that seem to develop out of simple test recordings. An earlier iteration with less effects sounded a bit like movie bullet effects which inspired the title, that was expanded to fit the Surrealism theme of this week's (12-19…

Music for a video for sound-in Celtic harp vs feedback guitar. Go figure

Another Sound-In piece for 12-19/11/2020. This time, a recitation, three times, of a strange phrase my mother was wont to use on occasion, that I don't even know if she knew its origin. A brief search has shown that it may be from a parody of…

Same technical set-up as with Too Late; this time just random vocalisations. Also submitted to Sound In for 12-19/11/2020.
