Nice production,at first I thought the vocals were too far right panned.Then the whole began to unfold and all fell into place. The rhythm track took off just right on the two and four and damn if the whistle didn't drop in just right.
Nicely done all. Yankee
Terrible recording due to my old studio set up dying, but a nice keepsake of just how bad things became before the rebuild.
Lyrics by Brent Kinder.
With piano by Igor Alexeev.
My first attempt to work with loops I created using midi.
With Mr Sandbags (reichatron). There's a really cool version with guitar added by Mac somewhere too, but it's weirdly vanished! Will add as soon as I find it.
Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
Well the song tells the story of the morning.... a lovely bleak, cold day. I decided on a simple a cappella arrangement to fit the feeling of the day.
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! To brighter days ahead!!!!
My Old Bones Know Better…
The Quarantine Kiss
Ever since all this shit began
Ive been socially distant
As safe as I can
Aloof and alone
But I’m not lonely
When I stay at home
I’ve got you to hold me
But there’s something missing
Are we being too careful…
The original title was 'Mediocre Fajita' (long story)... It started out with the initial bass riff but I ran out of creativity and left it. Then over the course of Christmas 2020 I got COVID so most of the time I had neither the willingness or…
Love the exploratory feel in this - especially that dreamy mid section. Sorry you guys have been struck by the evil 19. Sending you all the gentle vibes - you have to do RPM again in a few weeks... ;)
I love what you did with this. Always fun to work with you. :) I should probably add that the lyrics were written by Brent Kinder. He produced a whole album of songs with just these lyrics.
A great little collaboration with Greg Connor and Colleen Dillon.
Merry Christmas to Everyone ......
And a silly little video :

Ooh, looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Liking how this melts in to a more mellow sound two thirds of the way through and then ends with a different feel entirely.
well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say!
In a bit of a writing desert lately, but had a lovely walk two days ago, and got inspired by the sounds coming from newly frozen ice with at least 1000 migrating…
Recorded with Classical Guitar, Irish Whistle and Fender Jazz Bass. I wrote this a few years ago and rerecorded it this week.

I've been listening to a lot of [hiroshi yoshimura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7aYjRl_6Zw).
This is played on my Wurlitzer. The other instruments are a prototype version of the additive synth I'm building where you can control the ADSR…
A bit of a 'kitchen sink' one... It's another one I play beginner's guitar on tentatively (the lead break & rhythm)
The are no vocals (I'm amassing a large amount of songs needing vocals!) but it does feature some more epic 80s synths…
This is only the second song I've ever written on the guitar - I'm playing acoustic and rhythm... and you can tell I'm a beginner 😆 Happily the rest of the instrumentation is a little more polished.
No sugar coating this... It's a very melancholy…
This was all written on the bass - I wanted to get an earthy 70s Rickenbacker bass vibe on this so naturally there's liberal splashes of Moog and Hammond Organ to accompany it.
It's kind of 'prog-lite' and again needs vocals. It's a working…
Comments on Sister Savage's stuff
Lovely sound and beautiful vocals. I especially liked where it sounded like you were self-harmonizing.
Aww, Tess. So good to hear you again. Delightful!
Excellent! Great hearing from you again!
Ok....I love it. I'll be checking in from now on!
cool!
Nice one
Perfection! - but we all do not expect less for you and your collaborators Tess!
Lovely song, perfect music and beautifully sung. I'll give it 11. Ma x

Hey, Tess, checkin' in... any new music on the horizon?
Standout great track :)
Really expressive lead guitar
wow! Great counterpoints. There is the urgent riff then the much longer sounds in back. Brilliant composition
I am slightly reminded of Kate Bush now :) Does everybody in Cornwall have such a wise and beautiful soul?
This one slightly reminds me of San Jacinto by Peter Gabriel :) Your music is sophisticated and accomplished. Brilliant!
Comments made by Sister Savage
Little return to an old fave before I dive in to RPM albums! (Still a fave!)
Stirring stuff! She sounds delicate and authentic, and that military build towards the end is fantastic.
Campfire lullaby!
Oosh! :-)

He's a cutey. :-D (I bet his dressing room is bigger than the puppet show's)
I love what you did with this. Always fun to work with you. :) I should probably add that the lyrics were written by Brent Kinder. He produced a whole album of songs with just these lyrics.
Woah, super group!
Glad you posted it! Pretty and yes, lilting. :)
Alonetone choir!

Something so soothing and timeless about your beautiful voice.
Beautiful - tender, atmospheric. Loving that whistle also - gorgeous touch!
Brought a smile! Very clever - and so true!
Dreamy...very lovely escape.
Ah, a favourite from yesterdecade! So glad I found you again.

Looking forward to your dreamy vox on this!
