This is an loop station improvisation with my death metal strung up strat (low B - effectively a baritone guitar - which I did see one at Guitar Center a couple weeks ago) with some layered synths afterward.
Hopefully you'll find it as…

What a creepy bastard JD was. Good thing they got rid of him in jail. Goes to show you, looks are deceiving. Sad to think humans used to eat one another all the time. Nature can be such an ugly b!tch. A documentary on him said he ate people because he wanted to keep them close, so they would never leave.

that second dissonant chord construction is tense or intense or extensively extreme// this is so neat of a composition it could go on and on IMO :) well done..
A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering…

Great subject matter you have captured the suspense and Mystery and horror....similar in feel not content of the music Jaws the way in which it feels like he is encircling his prey....an excellent feel to this piece.. love it
This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.

Well, I feel almost human today. Been a rough few days with the flu or something. I'm running on a baked potato - seems I can't each much else yet. It was ironic that I became sick just when I went to pick up a Boss Loop Station I found for half…

i hear a music of, long vistas, desolate but beautiful landscapes,, weither it is internal or external, i can not be sure... Chris, this very will done, on many levels R
A song of hope...
and i apologize for the "noise"...I'll try to figure it out.
here are the lyrics.
waiting in the dark
never hearing the words
waiting for the spark
to revive a dying heart
so you think it's your fault
a buried belief…
Reg has never really understood Love.......... not in last 20years since first hearing this song .........it's still all a Mystery to him................
I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Bob and Reg got together tonight down the cellar and came up with this one dedicated to Desirea......Reg didn’t realise at the time but Desirea had got her hooks into Bob as well during her time down the cellar....but hey, all's well in love and…
a song about hoping for the best for all of us. the ending riff is about angst and disapointment and i use a flange on the ending lead guitar work. the closing of the song inspired me to make another song called locked door to my soul.
performed by Ashley Reynolds
from the album "Sunny, sorta..."
and she opened her eyes
the frailness all gone
but she wasn’t surprised
it was fortold all along
and the healing complete
not a shell anymore
what a magical feat…
this song - purple mountains was iriginally a jam back in 75. chris vaisvil was the guitarist and i always remembered it cause i liked it. he had an echo-plex then and it was pretty psychedelic. no keys were originally in the song but it was a…
Elvis got philosophising in the cellar again last night.........................so Louie and Reg got Bluesy with him and this is what turned out of the session.........
DREAMER(Lyrics)
Well I asked the mirror if my dreams would come true…
You'll never guess who turned up last night but the old Baird himself ....Will....Him and Louie jumped up to do this one for the cellar crowd...........
rockin!!

Such a harmless looking beast....
Terrific! I like the bits that start at 1:30 or so. Cymbals are perfect.
goodness this is pretty, gravity is everywhere. so I have found ...

Love the Eastern flavours you're cooking with more and more these days - great stuff from El Norm also.
Great subject matter you have captured the suspense and Mystery and horror....similar in feel not content of the music Jaws the way in which it feels like he is encircling his prey....an excellent feel to this piece.. love it
Hypnotic! Wow!! Captured some real power here!
Love this riff - not sure which I prefer, I think the other has the edge...but love the extra improvised bits here.
Totally original - great effect with the mandolin!
Woah, did I? Go me! This is magical - tranquil and mystical with a sting in the tail.
Back for another visit loving this
excellent..... love the Conrads poem and the performance of it....a real mystery going on with the sounds in the second half.. Conrads voice reminds of someone of the Lou Reed album the Raven
7/8 = awesome pick for this song.
Excellent! Percussion is top notch!
Is that you or a vocal-sample?...wow this cool stuff....kick percussion with both hi-hats fit right in...this is intense!
Nuthin' unsteady about those hands. Great work! And what WAS that stuck to the eave?
i hear a music of, long vistas, desolate but beautiful landscapes,, weither it is internal or external, i can not be sure... Chris, this very will done, on many levels R

the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.
luscious - beautiful I had not heard you until this morning and I'm glad I found your music and spirit.
nice spooky keys at 1:45 ish - very 60's psychedelic feel
well done!
I really this version!!
love it!
I hear a lot of melodies in this one. All of the drums seem to speak to me. Even the clave. Perhaps I'm finally getting it?
This is were its at!! Groovy!!
Is there a connection with Desiree? Who is the real Desiree? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succubus
I feel for Bob - he don't deserve the misery that's coming down the road...
love the deep phaser solo!

shock the monkey!
Beautiful - love the music and video!
