It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
drip by drip..
I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…
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…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.

You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…

I have a dog named Daisy, lol along with 3 others. haha sounds like me calling my dog. little lhasa apso. and I'm moving out soon so she will be over the hill and far away.

Daisy and I both know that as soon as you get far enough away from the perimeter, the pain inflicted by the shock collar ceases, and is only a bad memory. A small price to pay for the freedom to run over the hills all night with the other freed pups.
We don't care if you hollar.

Good dog. Bad Dog. It's all the same. Poor Daisy. Sometimes when the opportunity presents itself, you just have to run far away, through out the night.
Great vox on this one and the change of perspective -from the narrator's to Daisy's- is very clever. But the double entendre that this piece drips with is the part I like the very best.

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).

5/4 120bpm.
I started off with an idea to record some harmonized diminished arpeggios and the other riffs just happened along the way. Inspired by Dethklok, hope you like it.
In the 90s I was in a band called "Tainted Angel" and we played this in a bar and after the first time people were calling out requests for it all night, so I ended up playing it about fifteen times that night, without receiving even one tip or…
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…

Thanks for the comments guys - Richard, you are right on, I should bring up the cello volume. It sounds perfect in the car but diminishes on my computer speakers. - cheers
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?
A live recording:
Me: Vox, Bass
Joel: Guitar, Backing Vox

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
This one was recorded on the 16th February 2011 at Pat Molloys (o'Neills) in Colchester. Featuring Stuart Tizzard on Slide and Vocals, lovely example of a laid back country blues, one of my favourites from the set I think
great tune, great blues, great delivery. I wish the recording had less clipping on the bass or perhaps a limiter-but wait, its likely just my broke-ass computer speakers...:)

I love this, what a great sound. You are making me want to go out and get a banjo!!!!!! Sounds real good.

Strap on that bass~
Nice job Bruce! I'm still in Morocco getting your music out to the world!!!!!!
I like the groove you two get going on this.

fun story line,,, great musical/story,, drifting, as you say "over the hill and far away" the music itself seems to match the story so perfectly...
There's not a lot happening, just enough to make it extra cool. Dark sunglasses and a smoke cool.
