Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
My Life has Become
I have all of these memories
That come on back to me
I don't know what to do
I don't know what I should do with them
Out of nowhere they cover me...
Like a breaking beam of light
Like the star dust in the night
Like…
I played 12 string guitar and 5 string bass along with Norm's original percussion track http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son. The only effects were a bit of attack shaping on the bass (compression w/o compressing).
I did this kind of oddly…

Another oldie as I work on other stuff. State of the art PC sound in 1991 was the Adlib card with one OPL2 FM synthesis chip w/o audio capability. Limiting as that was I still had a lot of fun with it. This is one example - I love that lo-fi…
Doom! Count me in!
(Ha! Had to laugh as the 7 sec. mark of this one has that "squeak" sound that I have previously misinterpreted in other songs as being a squeaky bass drum foot pedal... what do I know about computer generated music?)

Nero's Butterfly Two Star Poem Remix
This is a collaboration with anonymous and my wife. I wrote the script / lyrics and anonymous did everything else. So I can say - I've always admired the excellent performance of both - Debbie did the voice…

I think it is very smart that AT does not have a system of "ranking" or "rating" songs other than "favorite". Such a system, by it's very nature, is just going to hurt somebody's feelings.

Chris,, where to begin? perhaps it's best to just listen? beautifully relaxed playing, your touch here is "simple" and so full,,, (which to my way of thinking is the highest praise i can say, i think you'll understand),, 2nd listen,,,, i often consider the silence between the notes to be as beautiful/important as the notes themselves,, seems like that to me here..... i believe you have created a small master piece here,, well well done ps thanks for you listen and comments on WN,, i always appreciate them Richard

Fisherman and the Siren by Lord Frederic Leighton
This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…
This is a piano improvisation that mixes Pianoteq in Werckmeister III tuning with Cakewalk’s True Piano in 12 equal. What results is a soft phased piano sound. This skirts right on the edge of what can be considered microtonal. Some may well…

this is ok - I must admit I'd like to hear this with some shuffling percussion and a bass line to paste it together - and bring out that lead instrument a bit more. Its always dangerous to compose someone else's piece - so forgive me if the idea sounds ludicrous.
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992
This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…

Is It For You solo: that is simply a MXR distortion+ and my Fender Mustang with Bartolini pickups - a touch of reverb in Cakewalk Pro Audio. This was recorded in 2000. Thanks for the listen and comment!
Ten Years After cover performed live by Rainbowtruth @ Irish Brigade Fredricksburg, VA circa late 1990's.
Barnett: Guitar/lead vocal
Osborne: Drums/back-up vocal
Duff: Guitar

Cool high-energy take w/ plenty of guitar solos. Decent…
This is the first of two demo's I made to consolidate my ideas about an album that I am working on for the Clinical Archives netlabel. The piece is fully improvised.
I am recording two albums for Clinical Archives, the first is to be released…
Here is my latest song, I was playing around with my Tele into my Adrenalinn III pedal with its beat sync'd effects which gave me some of the sounds here.

Enjoyed the jazzy feel given by the sax. Super cool collab.
A really good song.
Nice Jam! One can almost imagine this all happening at one time

Cleverness as usual.
Trolls ate traxinspace?! That's sad. Intriguing piece!
Absolutely beautiful!
Ah, the good 'ol days of TraxInSpace... this was a classic there!
!!! beautious.
wow! that was breath taking deep!
I like your music very much - it's dramatic and compelling!

Piepod Thought provoking, yet relaxing.... LG
Oh I LOVE the pic! Cool 70s vibe! That vocal is spot on!
Tear-jerking...not sure why. My daughters are growing up. It's MY growing pain. Love it when the woodwind kicks in at 2 mins.
Scorching strings!
There's definitely a story behind this piece, would like to see some modern dance translating it.
Like the first few flickers of a new fire.

I think I like this one the best out of the bunch - especially during the choir.
crazy trip through a negative universe!
truly wild excesses of sound!
I really like this!!
