My friend Frank Miller did a drum improvisation track at my request - and I then improvised lyrics, vocal, and guitar with a bit of touch up. This was the first track we did together since 1979.

i never want to see Desirea again.....she's hurt me for the last time....thanks Chris & Norm for getting her out of my system once and for all..............
I hijacked Norbert Oldani's excellent piano improvisation and add some guitar to it.
His original is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5150711/PianoI911.mp3
Killer Chris. It should be played on a rooftop, really loud into the streets below. Kind of like the solo in "the crow"...just not as cheesy ...and in 19 edo ;)
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-)
nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
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…
Hi, The Suicide is programmed actually and uses Kontakt sounds. I have a large number of manuscripts which I created in college and shortly after (before 90's no computer program I had could let me score reasonably). In this case, The Suicide, was scored at an upright piano and I could play it at the time. Its really easy to play.
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
Hey Richard - for Rumba - the guitar tunings are standard so if you want to play along on your piano it should work. If I remember correctly Brian laid down a basic I-IV-V in D major. I put 7th chords on top of that.
Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....

I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…
(Bowers, Rainbowtruth) from the LP "Over the Counter and Through the Woods" circa 1997.
Barnett: Lead vocal/guitar
Osborne: Drums/backing vocal
Bowers: Bass/spoken vocal
Duff: Guitar
One of my favorites. Don't be fooled, the sampled snare…

I love the way the effects flow from one ear to the other.
Watch out Chris it looks like Desirea's homing in on you...keep your cards close to your chest......or is she already there ??????
Cool jam out! Like the drums as well, but your guitar and vox sound nice to Chris.
ooh liking that guitar Chris.....great vocal too...very Ozzy.... it suits you...great drumming too Frank....Bravo
Storming vocals - hitting some awesome notes there, Chris!!
Great collab dudes excellent work.
magic sounds like its got some cream in it too, magic vox reggies and loving those beats
Ya nailed it , great tune.
hold me up with a cane
Uh, Reg, we have heard this before from you. I hope for your sake that you have finally learned your lesson.
Reg has some of the best advise regarding "hate" that I have heard for awhile. Don't be a hater!
i never want to see Desirea again.....she's hurt me for the last time....thanks Chris & Norm for getting her out of my system once and for all..............
Pure escapism! Very wonderful, gentlemen!
Wow guys, that was great!
How have you done those Drums Chris ?
I think I know those girls :)
Conjures up fabulous images, and reminds me of my student days. :)
An original enjoyed the contrast between the instruments and both well played.....bravo
Oh dear, what a sorry sight! The very bassy notes at the end are emotive, they are like hopelessness.

all of the compositions are wonderful - I feel emotion from your work.
this is a very nice progression against a pedal point and exposition. I agree the room acoustics are really great - it sounds great!!
very classical period sounding.
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-) nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
wow - this is complicated!! and cool!

wonderful!! So this is in part classical guitar? If so great tone!
bizarrely the opening bass riff sounds like the theme to green acres - a usa 60's sitcom.
sounds like my ferrets playing!
excellent!
yes! love the sounds here
this is nice indeed!!
one of my personal favorites too :-)
Dude! You own this place!!

I'll see what I can up with.
nice work!!
this is excellent
excellent!! Love the sweeps. This is nicely setting Norm's percussion - cool tune!
nice jam - hot guitar - progressive rock
