Love playing with Norm!

(Tolar & Savigear 2010)

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio. Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

a collaboration of Alister Flint - Carlo Serafini - Chris Vaisvil so, Chris did this. Carlo did that. and i added some. for the technical stuff, see below. :) This piece uses multiple tunings simultaneously and is the inaugural…

somehow i wandered in this very different direction

Written and Recorded April 18, 2010 Some people accidentally delete tracks...I accidentally kept this one :) Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD, Capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity.

A little more wurli...

Well, who do think came down the cellar last night... Yep! you guested it, Charlie Sheen, he was none too happy. He should have been if the girls with him were anything to go by. He'd come to talk to Elvis about handling the Yes men and how he…

Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified. This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up. I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…

Based on actual events.

This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…

Love like a salt river washing away Love's like sunshine evaporate Love like floating candles blowing away Watch out for the way you'll compensate When I've seen all you have to give When I'm still hungry I need more than this Tell me how…

I was collecting 4th of July samples and recorded a jewel. By chance, I recorded my 4 year old girl, and you can hear her thought process...wondering how the fireworks were so high in the air - perhaps the fireworks were dropping from the sky…

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007

Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

This song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold. Lyrics- The lonely days of summer made me think of you And I remember good times we have…

Cover version of the song “Leave Me Alone pt. II” by the excellent A Beautiful Scene, off their 2021 RPM album A Long Night of Radio Drama. https://alonetone.com/abeautifulscene/playlists/a-long-night-of-radio-drama/06-leave-me-alone-pt-ii…

With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza". The sun left the city, from the ground Moonlight woke up, falling down Why are you scared, free as a bird Now that the heat…

The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around ...

An excuse to use my new octave pedal.
