Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…

A little re-tooling on this one today as well.

Another recent song somehow not posted to AT (?) cleaning house this weekend.
Had the privilege of playing around with a cello in the house.
Dont know how to play the damn thing but too fun not adding it in the mix
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…
I have Bodysnatchers and There There that I always play back to back in my car. To this day. Not sure why I do that. But now I know. Excellent performance, wicked harmonies!
After several bottles of wine, thetworegs and I were able to coerce Elvis and a few others down in regs basement to come out for a long overdue collab. After all, isn't October collab month?
Thanks again for the great vox!!

Hey Norm there was a knock on the door late last night and guess who was standing there all sultry and pouty .... yes .... you know who! .... it was her wanting in ..... I looked her in the eye and told her to go .... as she turned to leave I noticed her dress was so short I could see her stocking tops ...... I called her name .... Desirea she turned and smiled.........
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
The music reminds me of a scene from the streets of San Francisco then Karl Malden’s nose comes into my mind and my mind suddenly goes over the hills and far away ...I like it.

I recorded the sound samples at St Marks Basilica on the spot....the story you are about to hear is true; not even the names have changed to protect the innocent.
You pretty much made this an original, I am mesmerized. So cool! The little clean break at the end is magic. Yes, I want to be your dog. And your puppy lol!

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…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
First song of the year for me...
Recorded on New years day 2011...

These Good Times,
In this Old Life
Are Earned...

Fade away,

Recorded in Sonoma after seeing Les Claypool perform at a small club in Sebastopol. Inspired by his awesomeness, I recorded this all day Nov 27th 2009 thanksgiving day.
A cool blend from Electronica to Rockin' Primus vibes.
Did I sound like…
A layered improvisation on a M-Audio 88es
Korg MS2000 * 2 (duplicated the midi track and recorded the MS2k with two different voices serially)
Pianoteq
Absynth
Reading of his poem "We're on the Brink of Utter Befuddlement, Yellow Hanky Style…
(Lyrics posted below) A fun song I wrote with Kenneth from songcrafters.org. Its about having fun making music with friends from all over the world, connected by the internet and these great music sites that we all belong to.
I came in from…
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
the recording on this one is exceptionally good. I think you may have perfected the perc mic up over this last year. is there a hint of reverb?
Nice one, really warm malaria-like sound

HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.
LYRICS:
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne…

I just got the lyrics of this song tattooed down the right side of my ribcage.
Epic.
@Norm, lol. Now under water.
I've caught some of those . Nice clean mix and production.
You pretty much made this an original, I am mesmerized. So cool! The little clean break at the end is magic. Yes, I want to be your dog. And your puppy lol!
I’ll agree with that ...
It’s Saturday morning “what shall I do? .... I know I’ll catch up with some Reef”
