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.

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…
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
'Cause I know it's gonna make me play better…
Reworked this one last night...

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…

I LOVE this!
you prolific bugger, you!
Very full sound considering the minimal amount of instruments. I like.
I love this, what a great sound. You are making me want to go out and get a banjo!!!!!! Sounds real good.
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.

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.

Great recording, cool song, really like the vocal c with FX

cool, mellow, soulful
ya +1 with K, the contrast with the acoustic cut ins is cool
tight, and sprinkled with some interesting perc's brotha !
sustain or loop FX's can be hard to work with at first pass but you did a really good job here and the result is a fantastic and unusual trip
