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…
You see, I heard this groovy little tune on AT, then I downloaded it after about a minute because I knew I'd be looping the damn thing for about an hour straight.
Solid, solid, solid - Fantastic work!

This is an exceptionally tasty track! Just deep, multi-layered and clever!! And your cello lines are superb considering you don't play!! I mean, wow!!! They add so much... I just love this track!
PS - Bethan, I haven't had Norm yet.

The emerald green essence turns to the color of a Monarch’s chrysalis and the dripping sugar swirls into a gentle cloud. As your guitar carries me away, I smile and turn to the nonchalant fairy sitting next to me, who hands me a rather large bottle rocket.

this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.

Recording some match lighting samples recently and felt compelled to put some music to it.
I put the mic up to some raw acoustic guitar. Bass and lead added with FX. Norm added percussion, making it sound waaaay better.

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

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 only had one song at open mic where you could have heard a pin drop, the rest of the time, they usually talk through it. It's all in the studio now when the little ladies are in bed. Ah bliss!

I have to laugh at the cryptic message... Good midi composition man! I started out with midi (Midiman) and moved into other stuff so its fun to see it the other way around
Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…

Thareks guitar work and your vocals fit perfectly. Great christmas song! fav

Ha! thats a good ear Norm. I was going to edit the phone out but figured no one would notice it- I think theres a reactionary expletive in there too
