I had some fun this afternoon with a bluesy tune - and ran out of time for singing and my vocals are not good - wanna try? I need to remember to tune my guitars down when I want to sing - that would make my life easier.

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…

Drive cleaning time!! Found this arrangement left over from RPM. The drum track was already mixed from my old kit. I cut it and mashed it up trying to fix it when I mix it. Then I added some vintage synth sounds, some guitars, and some reptilian…

somehow i wandered in this very different direction

This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…

Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

Keep 'em movin'...

For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom! ** this could really use a tasty melody to go with…

based on the "clique" project first introduced in a long lost forum post on the RPM Challenge forums, the rules were to record a track that was in relation/response to the previous track before it. performers were: jazzsequence, Pugilistas, The…

Yeah, that Doors song.
