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!
Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…

Another recent song somehow not posted to AT (?) cleaning house this weekend.
Had the privilege of playing around with a cello in the house.
Dont know how to play the damn thing but too fun not adding it in the mix
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…
I have Bodysnatchers and There There that I always play back to back in my car. To this day. Not sure why I do that. But now I know. Excellent performance, wicked harmonies!
After several bottles of wine, thetworegs and I were able to coerce Elvis and a few others down in regs basement to come out for a long overdue collab. After all, isn't October collab month?
Thanks again for the great vox!!

Hey Norm there was a knock on the door late last night and guess who was standing there all sultry and pouty .... yes .... you know who! .... it was her wanting in ..... I looked her in the eye and told her to go .... as she turned to leave I noticed her dress was so short I could see her stocking tops ...... I called her name .... Desirea she turned and smiled.........
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…
The music reminds me of a scene from the streets of San Francisco then Karl Malden’s nose comes into my mind and my mind suddenly goes over the hills and far away ...I like it.

I recorded the sound samples at St Marks Basilica on the spot....the story you are about to hear is true; not even the names have changed to protect the innocent.
You pretty much made this an original, I am mesmerized. So cool! The little clean break at the end is magic. Yes, I want to be your dog. And your puppy lol!

Reg had a bit of tiff with the Mrs so he stormed down the cellar to release his anguish with Elvis and turned it into this little beauty .....now he feels a lot better and is making Mrs Reg a nice cup of tea to say sorry....because lets face it…
Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity…
Love the prelim. I can hear it in me head, this song is gonna sound sweet.
particularly loving the sounds of anguish at the end. Nothing like flubbing up the beta track with 3 sec to go :)
Sometimes, you just have to make a track so that you can play that big ass gong - you know the one im talking about.
4 guitar tracks and one for the gong. Various FX for guitar including a sustain FX which seems to go well with the gong droning…
Well, I sent this simple little arrangement off to Jana to see what he thought it needed. When he suggested a uke, I said "Go for it!"
He was right... Can't thank him enough for his contribution.
HERE WE ARE TODAY
How can it be so…
This tune came about by total chance.
I recorded the Backing track during a spare half an hour one night this week ... Just a Noodle...
Met up with Aaron today by total chance and he was up for recording a vocal on it.
He Free-styled the…
The drums on this track were played on a garage sale set of kiddie drums I bought for my son,they sound surprisingly good considering I recorded them with one SM57 mic.This was one of my first attempts at playing real drums on a track,about 5…
A song for a wet day in Sheffield Thanks Johnny.......another one for the Zep album.........I will have to sort out that first verse..........but i hope you enjoy..........
This is a composition for Jazz Quartet – Tenor Sax (sorry for the unrealistic stray notes), fretless bass, piano, and drums. All but the drums were preformed on my Fender Mustang + GR-20 retuned on the fly by Fractal Tune Smithy.
The tuning…
Well, it IS!
lyrics for my Italian friends:
We're gonna be there in your wake
mending the seams when they start to break
make you do what you said that you would
and other words that rhyme with good
once so close why let it go, baby…
Inspired by Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig, all the lyrics are taken from the book and spoken/sung by Peter Gorden. It is an experimental piece.
Now listen
She knows where to go
She makes me glad
Takes my hand
Oh, on my way
Now she's mad
No, She's not mad
She states fact
as I lack
Oh, on my way
She lifts me up
Now I'm on my own
I'm home
She sits aside
I go inside
Long gone
This listless…
A first for me a song done completely on the Boss Micro BR.............Elvis just loves this little thang.....i need some practice with the mastering and mixing .....i wont mention the guitar that's a given.....but i'm quite pleased....it's all…

Really loving this one today guys -Launched

I just got the lyrics of this song tattooed down the right side of my ribcage.
Epic.
@Norm, lol. Now under water.
I've caught some of those . Nice clean mix and production.

I’ll agree with that ...
It’s Saturday morning “what shall I do? .... I know I’ll catch up with some Reef”

Thats it. This year, im making it a point to fly to England and find Reg's cellar. Not only to meet the King, but also to play the £16 guitar
uplifting but way to short ! unique combo with both of you on this collab, love it

V, : ) No, believe it or not, the gong is actually not Norms. I sampled this one at at Hojorisin's house
the uke IS perfect, vox are signature. great tune
both vocals are cool. It would be fun to have neighbors into music sweeeeet
great tune, particularly liking the crying lead guitar
great blues tune - drums sound great
great track, good fluid movement through and through
I liked the first version of this one, the vox addition makes it even better.
Smack damn, microtonal jazz. Nice Chris. I really like the floating bass in this one. And the Sax of course.
Killer tune BW, good hook in there.,..
great track. Your vocals are perfect for this song. Lyrics, tune, everything is really catchy
Gotta get your daily fix of XHMP ! You and Vaisvil, Are my microtonal gurus. Nice
really diggin the blues tune. Shocking photo
Trippy tune OGW, remembering this book brings back some good memories.
Diggin the funky tune WG, it's fun to see the Complexity changes over the last year with your MIDI compos. Sounding good mon!
Groovy feel with the smoky vox-guitar combo
the opening pitch with Elvis. outstanding,
hooked on the guitar riff at 10 sec. explosive vocals rock
