Timestretched acoustic guitar, cicadas. A sonic tribute to Ray Bradbury, who turns 90 this Sunday.

Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul. Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez. Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along. Enjoy..... filled…

A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie.. Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones. Not a million miles away from a man you might have known. A miner in the twenties, blue scars…

Written using a mix of Virtual and Analog instrumentation. Arranged, Sequenced and Looped within Ableton Live.

I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…

Ain't feelin' it

This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist. APATHY AND GREED Apathy and greed is in the human seed "I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well How we live and play to get us through the day Til we hear the bell that summons…

Gary and I did something good. ONE AND ONLY How many times have you been captured by a camera With no one really knowing who you are Caught in the sight lines in the background In the corner of their eyes Never looking closely at the…

This one could use a vocal or a surf's up lead guitar hook. Sounds like it could be in Kill Bill Vol. III. Midi nylon acoustic in this one.

Reg was talking to Elvis about Frank and he told him something he didn't know.you can have it all then at the end not remember it which is what happened to Frank the grind ground him down a sad ending for a great man......Dementia is a cruel end…

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…

It was a curious and wondrous thing. One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

"Castaway of Love" is a song by Brian, one of our guitar players who until now has been shy about sharing his talent. When he told me the title of this song I was expecting a 1920's style megaphone crooner melody, but was happily surprised by…

(samples music from "Flavor of the Weak" by American Hi-Fi, interpolates music from "Mirror" by Lil Wayne featuring Bruno Mars, and interpolates lyrics from "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac) [Verse 1] When you disparage the person, you care for…

Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration. Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…

MN Homebrew Radio show has a monthly writing contest. This month it was to use the word "wait" or "waiting" in your song. So the hook line of the chorus popped into my head at 5:30 in the morning and the rest of the song came pretty quickly…

A remix in lieu of a cover for the Angie Fights Crime Covers Album. I can't sing in my house at the moment since it either wakes up the 5 month old, or pisses off the 3 year old. So I thought I'd try something different. The original, is very…
