All of this is performed - Norm's many percussion devices, Fender Mustang, and GR-20 driven by the guitar for the rest of the voices excepting a bit of a choir at the end.
Ha! This was great fun for me generating a large number of interesting spooky noises -all acoustically- in my laboorratory. The chilling errie wind sound was created with a long spring, attached to the head of a small hand drum (known as a “spring drumâ€, of course) and the “opening crypt†sound was generated by running my thumb nail down the spring under tension. And any time I get to hit the 30†Paiste gong, you know I’m smiling –evilly in this case.

I extended my very short Halloween piece - doubled it in length - not too hard considering it still is only a minute long.
This is using the Garritan Personal Orchestra sample set.
2 organs, piano, flute, bassoon.

Last one for today, promise. Two Old Friends - again from 1983 and created using 2 cassette decks,4 channel mixer, Fender Mustang, vocals. Lyrics by Evan Harrington.
Two Old Friends
Leaves bear mark of the changing of season
Soon to be crushed…
I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.

I resorted to some unmarked old CDRs in the car today on my way to and from my Dad's (I brought him a new laptop) and found one of the earlier collaborations between Norm and myself.
This is dedicated to the families who have (and still…
I'm working on making this old song from Two Old Friends into a better version. Today I got inspired to pick up my daughter's 3/4 size Martin (which makes the runs easier) and recorded this on my Zoom H2.

Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…
Improvisation using segments of the vocal track from Chris Vaisvil's piece Sweeney's Agony and sample fodder, played via midi keyboard, with live computer processing.
Was going to layer or track this into the jumping on 2 but could not do that legitimately anyhow by the end I start part of the jumping on 2 song, coming next. first here i set the levels then at about min 2 something I sync the beats between…
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Reg had sat listening to the Wrinkled Shirts track and decided it was time to tell you the story of how he found his Mojo. it was a time way back when, to far back to remember. when he was just a young man. when he had decided to fast-forward…
Reg has been up to his womanizing ways and has ended up dancing on his own. reg came up with another great funky tune and Reg had to jump all over again. Hope you Funk IT.........

cool cover Vais.
Well, you couldn't have picked a harder one to sing and you pulled it off!
Nice one buddy!
Cool science fiction spirited fantasy trip. Nice crazy atmosphere, well implemented!
Love The Beatles, cool cover,
note.. one (egg) and one (egg) and one (egg) makes and omelet not? but a broken one while sitting like a cornflake with milk and honey, ever so.
This tune brings me back into some great times man. Still dig this collab.

nice easy listening piece - very rich!
who cannot love a track with a name like this? Awesome mind-messing tremolo.
damn you sound like Joe Cocker now! This is great all the way around. - Been behind - I had not heard the original - or I don't remember it
I use pianoteq mostly. Your piece is very beautiful.
indeed - you brought this baby to life!! Bravo Reg!

is this slide bass then? or bass and slide guitar? sounds cool regardless.
this is very cool. I like the bigness of the sound a lot.
remixed it down? I love how your vocals sounds like Louis Armstrong.
this reminds me of Schoenberg's op 19 in its depth despite brevity.
wow man - just wow~ !!
and - you are on a roll!!
