I really dig the beat poet groove of this tune ...bongos? Far out baby!!! The audio at the end nearly tore me to pieces! If you cats are firin' up the grill, I wanna be there man.
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!
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
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…

Wow. This one is really together. You did everything right -- lyrics, vocals, instruments, mix down/mastering, diving board sound effect. Brilliant, beautiful.

This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…

wooow! very cool, your arrangement is great! if you should see some old, hairless guy with a keyboard chasing you on this train,, that would be me ,, well done
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 track is off of the third CD. This is an improv recorded one afternoon in my basement recording studio. Recorded with my Huss and Dalton MJC in standard tuning.
Enjoying a few tracks on this site with Indian flavor lately. My brothers legs were so red from slapping them to get the perc sounds in this track, I had to laugh, That alone was worth doing the song ;)
Enjoy # 92
Spicy percussion provided by Norm
Thanks guys for the comments. Yes, Norm is my brother he did the percussion on this track. The other tracks are 2 stereo tracks for guitar and a 3rd for the sitar sample ( I wish I had a real one to play!)
This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…
The vodka, ahhh. One of 3 that I recorded to a dimming flashlight during a power outage.
One take into the Micro BR hole with some harmony and noodle overdubs.
Vodka
I want the vodka

A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…

Buddah defined compassion as "a trembling of the heart."

Kind of a Sonic Youth version of the old folk tune. This was with my band Lincoln The Chain. Our vision was to create new and weird versions of tunes from the old timey days. Traveling music for post apocalyptic underground railroad...
As the song says, this is a song I wrote for the RPM Challenge. I simply took my actual experience beginning at 12 midnight on February 1st, and a couple or three hours later I had my first song. The player takes away the intensity of this track…
Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…
This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…

Just listened to this one and several more in your great list of tracks. Really enjoy your music!
This made my day a lot sunnier! (Sounds like you have the studio back up and running - excellent!)
...
Time for me to listen to this again.
More cello!
This is still epic and one of my all time favs.
Let me be number 16.....treading water out here in the deep not able to see the shore...

Time for my annual comment. A key song in the soundtrack of my life.
Inventive, creative, different, brilliant, far out, groovy, delightful, righteous!
This needs a bump for summer....
:)
wooow! very cool, your arrangement is great! if you should see some old, hairless guy with a keyboard chasing you on this train,, that would be me ,, well done
Still digging this one!
