First off, damn sad about the finger. I cannot relate to cutting it off, but I can relate to burning the skin off ( dishwasher incident of 2010- of smashing it flat @ work) so I do understand what you have been going through. It really sucks man. Second amazing track. Vocals spot on, mix is great, and very glad to see your new track up on A.T. Third-ly :) any time you might be in or passing through this area...or meeting up in carlsbad we have to meet up and jam, --- or if I am in that area on vacation--also have a good friend in denver who jams a mean piano/harmonica we have to get something going. Killer track bud, and hope you heal up quick and get the music flowing. Best Wishes your way! -JG
"No ducks were hurt or killed during the production of the tune" is perhaps more of a reflection of your shooting skills as opposed to your musical skills. ;)
I’m glad your finger is better – I misunderstood how it was hurt. Garcia never let something as trivial as a finger slow him down either.
Oh, this is priceless! Where do I start?
1. I'm sorry to hear you got punched in the nose.
2. Get your camo off and head over to my house- I have the orange sauce waiting and the grill is hot.
3. Either those are field recordings or your calling is even better than I remember.
4. The first 3 shots were yours, which was always your way of saying "uh, guys, there's some Sprigs overhead..". The last shot, of course mine - which actually produced a Sprig.
Excellent! Very clever.
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…
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…
I still vote this for best home studio musician track of the decade. If you can't relate...buy a microphone. I was trying to record vocals the the collab with Epimeison yesterday and right in the middle of take 2, what decides to appear...an ice cream truck. REALLY?? You have a whole freakin park across wash and you choose my street with all of 3 kids to sell to!?! The economy must have really taken it's toll on the mobile frozen milk delivery service. WTF?!? Love it, fav it again if I could.
Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine.

This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
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!
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…

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

"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

Great listen, nice changes of sound. Top quality vocals that reminded me in parts of the Alabama Three
Love the rich guitar...man
Dreamy and cool with an exceptionally delish vocal! Yum! (Obv. the "yum" was with reference to the duck, if my mother is looking.)
really cool! like that gun shot at the end!
Very Smooth sounds! Quite an abrupt ending........ Atta Boy Reefwalker!!!!!!!
Bruce, I love this track! Welcome back to AT and to Pro Tools 9 Brother!!!!!!!

I agree with the voice comments...fantastic.
Man I just *love* your voice. The music and mood is great - but you have a great voice. Bummer on the injury.
Oh, this is priceless! Where do I start? 1. I'm sorry to hear you got punched in the nose. 2. Get your camo off and head over to my house- I have the orange sauce waiting and the grill is hot. 3.

that's what a banjo can do....and of course delilah...sweet
Great sound!Like he beat..the talk over...nice

That is really cool Bruce! Very inspiring....... I'm taking my Zoom field recorded "Into the Field" to get some "Sounds of Hollywood"!
Nice tune. Very chill and relaxing. :)
really nice...clever writing...great sounds
this is making me dizzy i like being dizzy yeah baby
I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)

very cool version of this song. wide open feel to the lead.
Great guitar motion and play, would like to hear this one when its done.
love the feel of this one.
cool tune
very thick, full of motion.
still diggin this tune.
im so stoked your back bro ! Its been too long. I agree with SS. I like the back up vox they go well with the guitar feel
oh man, I totally missed this one. Beautiful tune, really lovin the guitar coming in around the piano-its perfect.
really like how the guitar carries through the song. Dig the vox too.
Very cool Tune, welcome to AT
crazy song, love the lyrics. the FX on the vocals go great with the keys
great lyrics, couldnt stop smiling thinking about it. This song is right on.
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
Wow K, great sounding tune. Technically a top recording sound, and great guitar playing too.
cool guitar work almost a mello Joe Satriani feel
love the narration, and the echo FX's of the tea in the garden bit. And harp too? excellent.
Nice retro fit Rick. Diggin this tune.
I almost missed this one ! cool perc track from start to finish
I really like this one. ALt tuning always demands a second listen i think, particularly from a guitar standpoint. Really rich a 2:30
just went though some of my favs there! NIce blended tunes THe Frampton one at the end got me smiling !
