Music by Trevitte Brown. Lyrics by Me. I tried to sing it, but it was too high, so Trev did. An old-fashioned Christmas hymn-style song.
Lyric:
Even though it's christmas
Doesn't seem like Christmas
Money's always tight here round…
Written and performed by Tangmo and Jay Jackson. If my voice sounds a little sickly, it's because it was. I went into the hospital with life-threatening heart and respiratory problems days after laying vocals for this song. It remains a 'spiritual…
This was a large, somewhat unwieldy internet-based blues collaboration from several years back. I wrote and sang the lyric. AE pub collaboration!....lyrics and vocals by Tangmo harmonica by Tony(T.D. Brown)...bed by Scott(Riffmaster)....guitarst…
Short for Truncated Funk. You may describe it any way you see fit. I "hear" this as soundtrack under the right "scene"--rhythmically interesting but not musically over-busy. Kind of strange Elevator Music, but you shouldn't try to dance to…
Mid-tempo, loud, and sans vocals. You want to sing (or play) on it? Drop me a line.
EDIT: I may have a taker on turning this into a proper song. If he does, this is "off-the-market", but if he doesn't, then I'll put it back on or do my…
Great to hear an ole Acid Planet friend on here. Real nice tune you have here. Pro all the way, has a cool vibe to the music reminds me a bit of the Eagles. Very Cool....
Easing my way back into music production. This is a work in progress, but I have so many ideas floating I don't know how long it will take to make progress. I do like the way this turned out so far. Enjoy.

This is such a solid track it could go a dozen ways.
Also, thank you for your comment. I had a 7th line clear up until my final mix when I realized how useless it was...your response verifies my thot. The song was start to finish this afternoon.Thanks again.

Co-written and performed with William Liggett. Tried to make it a 'duet', but not being in the same state--much less studio--made it too hard to match phrasing.

Our entry into a compilation CD for the Acid Exchange International Music and Arts Guild double-CD. I wrote the music and cowrote the Lyric with Scott Graves, and sang the song. Other players are Jay P Lindsey, Dave Bell, and Steve of Asymetric…
Pastichio Rocker aka PDOA wrote and performed/programmed this electronica piece and asked me to write and sing a lyric for it. Despite (or maybe because of ) my accent, we considered it a success. It got some college-radio airplay.

I wrote this story with the intent to let the listener decide for themselves who the common thread may be.... But for me I'll dedicate this to my dear family and long time friends. Thanks for always being there for me.

It's sad that I will never be this cool. Genre-mashing at it's most interesting. Reggae? Alt-rock? Asian power-pop? Breaks to almost nothing, then comes back for a few more servings.
Oh my. Held my ears the whole way. I know better than most how much of a master you are at production, and at finding just the right voicings to make simple songs take off. This is wonderful work with a really good vocalist. It's just not the same down here.
Outstanding wide sonics that still rings deeply dark. Loved the asian instrumentation sprinkled throughout. You're voice is captivating. I was thinking last night "who does he sound like?" and then it came to me. Leonard Cohen. From me, that is exceptionally high praise.
My Acoustic Guitar and Vocals Original ~ with overtones / natural harmonics - (i.e. "Tapping") - I also recorded a second vocal harmony track . . . synchronized to my main / first vocal track .
Silence in the air further cold
Breathing again.
Nobody can see into my old feeling.
No, no one can take this moment
No, no one can change what I think now
I am free
I could open my eyes again
Silence in the rain further cold
bBreathing…
A very interesting cross between world/folk and metal, to my ears, with it's acoustic instrumentation and world-beat percussion and the dark chords and melody of a band like Metallica. I enjoyed the listen.
Must say I'm with her. Truthful? Truthiness at best. Simple? Simpletons. There used to be boring talking heads on TV. Now there are little more than yapping faces. Things will get better when they STFU. Just me talking.
I would bet a month's pay that I've heard you on Acid Planet some years ago...if not you, he was a wonderful songwriter with a great human voice--just like you.
Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
at the end of an evening, after the house lights have gone down, in the quietness of the hall,, two cellos, share a quiet moment.. dedicated to the old couple who have lived so long together, to parent who watches as their child sleeps, to the…
very, very nice. Gotta be my favorite instrument for solos. Good luck and good experience with the RPM. I did it just once and it was the best month of my musical life.
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
great sound. Very lively and engaging. I may well have heard this 'live' on the radio as this one a show I listened to frequently back during this time.
More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!
Didn't sound cheesy to me. Besides, I was very drawn to old-skool patches when I could do it on my kurzweil. This is a beautiful and relaxing piece and didn't 'feel' like five and a half minutes. Much enjoyed.
Comments on Farfetched Tangmo Band's stuff

Nicely done pulling everything and everyone together. Well done!
Wow this is pretty good, I had forgotten it. This is trev hey tango!

Gritty blues
Kool sounds. Has a great feel to the music. I never tried the Blue Curry before but this taste great.... LoL.
interesting mix of sounds T....i like those ascending and descending lines in the section after the bridge
Hi T, this one has a nice "ethnic" sound and groove....i like it
Great to hear an ole Acid Planet friend on here. Real nice tune you have here. Pro all the way, has a cool vibe to the music reminds me a bit of the Eagles. Very Cool....
This immediately puts me in a mythical meadow with fairies and crickets and lightning bugs at dusk...

Beautiful rootsy track :)
Groovy!
Superb! So moody and sad
Groovy track :)
Gorgeous :)
Outstanding rendition

yes sir.
wonderful folk song, full of images that somehow take me off the range as well. Much enjoyed.
Pretty voice. Love the stringed instruments.
Would be nice. Loved it.
I remember this one.

it's a great lyric in that I cannot be sure if it is ironic or genuinely true. Either way, it works in this heavy setting and voice. Much enjoyed.
Brings back the fun of listening to loop-based creations. This is very well put-together. I'm especially enjoying the horns in the closing.
Purity. You're voice has a fragility that draws me in. And once in, I'm digging the lyrics.
Really delicious chord changes in those arps. Enjoyed the flowing rythm. Very nice piece. ENJOY RPM and have a great time.

just beautiful. Two weeks well spent, I'd say. I'd also like to see a pic.
