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.
Phone samples were recorded from the output jack of my…
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!
Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
This song is dedicated to my van...the Pumpkin.
She took me all the way from Winnipeg to St. John's, Newfoundland. On the way home she died on the 40 East between Quebec City and Montreal where i had to let her go.
Oh Pumpkin you have been good…
I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
I did this live performance at the Shore 104.3 radio station yesterday (Aug.25'10) directly after singing this song in the vancouver PNE talent contest and winning first prize! hope you like it!
Check out the video of the PNE performance!
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…

It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
One about needing some space....
Geir: Lead Guitar Line
Launched: Harmonies bass and Production
Mr OsCKilO : Chugging Guitars and Vox
Mrs OsCKilO: Lyric
Peace Guys
An intrumental Track I put together when Thinking about my family.
One Guitar represents my son, one my wife and one me......
Two Versions with Vox (Jim Higgins and Geir Alfsen) are also in existance.. not sure how to link to this site…
I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
We Didn't Get Time to do this in Norway.
Geir put down great the Guitars.
I took the Vox and Lyrics...
This is called "Your Heart"
-Your Heart-
Your shout is silent now
It feels I’m missing out
This void is lasting evermore…
I resorted to some unmarked old CDRs in the car today on my way to and from my Dad's (I brought him a new laptop) and found one of the earlier collaborations between Norm and myself.
This is dedicated to the families who have (and still…

Great listen, nice changes of sound. Top quality vocals that reminded me in parts of the Alabama Three

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

I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)

sharp edge lyrics as usual. Great vox.
Love the FX's man. sublime! Would like to hear more of this.
great rendition, love the vocals
Excellent alt tuning. Wide open and sometimes odd sound scape, Beautiful
WOW, where did this come from?? I love it. from the beginning where you turn the mic on before you begin play all the way to the lactic acid finish.
Bizarre, yet Cool tune, I like the background vocals, This sounds like this could have originally been a MIDI track with new/diff samples inserted
great playing, love the lyrics too.
great tune. " live free or watch TV"- priceless.
Ha, I had to log in again just to laugh at Sister's comment. great collab track guys !

Wow !~ sweet collab. back for a second listen
Man, ive been out a while... Cool, mellow tune.
agree with Bethan, great short build up at 2;10. Good tune
great song to wake up to this morning !
The guitar and drums here are perfect- I think the mix is very good
Beautiful piece
Love The Beatles, cool cover,
Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
Great tune OSk ! The vocal are great, I like the double vox track
This tune brings me back into some great times man. Still dig this collab.
