Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
ha! thanks for the comments guys. The car passing that POS on the highway was a viper- I just love that sound.
Norm, ill be hanging out with the wheels tonight if anyone cares to join me.
PS, and yes I could hear you smoking along with the engine on smoke break.
Stop that, or I will take your bull-horn away and go hang out with the wheels.
"Late for the late shift". "The seats are out of cash". I just love that.
I'm laughing at the sounds of that crappy engine attempting to turn over... it's strange to hear those sounds in the absence of some rather colorful language!
Hey, and there ain't nothin' wrong with 100bpm.
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 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!
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.
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…
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
First Lie
Chris Tune / Toms Lyrics
I heard you singing from the roof tops
saw you swinging in the trees
tripping on a cough drop
dealing your disease
I watched you watching from the washroom
heard you tumble down my stairs
passed out…
In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.
Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail Drum, Bongos, and (of course) Cowbell.
Concept=>Drive=>Plan=>Engagement.
6/8
Good to hear from your skin's brother ! Hmmmmm, Am I working this weekend ? nope ! * frantically downloading percussion track and arranging makeshift studio :)
Now that my album Texas Tonefreak is almost "out of print", I'll be posting the tracks up here.
Kip Siewert on harmonica
Philip Waite on drums
me on everything else

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
Well the first thing that came to my mind was, "Holy shit, where the hell has Alister Flint been, I need to down load his new stuff"
You guys are both such respected artists. Nice collab. Still not sure how it happened. Last I heard AF was in a French Jail over some protest shenanigans.
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.
Nice wide open FX's. stereo bounce Yaaaa! Nothin better to keep the tempo. but more, infinity delay,reverse?. sweet sounds Kirk. The guitar is indeed magical
A stripped down version.......
My Baby forgot she love me (Lyrics)
i been living this fantasy life
i’ve been living it most of my life
i know that things just ain’t right
when my baby don’t love me at night
ooh my baby say she forgot she…
