I love the spoken voice and the perky perc, yes,
but the way you have put it all together and listening to the final track, well, it's just
oustanding!
well it sounds like its been a night for the clinking of ice in glasses,,, gotta say that photo is making me a bit thirsty.... this piece has a rich texture to it
I plugged my Fender Mustang directly into the Zoom H2 and monitored with head phones while sitting on my bed and played around. This is a compressed version of one of the things I did. I've been pretty sick the past few days but I needed to…

Line up:
2 tracks (right and left) of hammer dulcimer, fretless bass, and cameo appearances for both fretless guitar and electric psaltery.
I went out during cover of night (to avoid looking like a total crackpot) with a violin bow & Zoom H2 digital recorder and bowed various things in the neighborhood. This is the best - a beautifully resonant 4-way stop sign.
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
Hi - thought I'd throw up an older piece today while I have time (doing work at the new house later). This is an improvisation with my Fender Mustang / Roland GR-20 combination retuned on the fly to 9 notes per octave "Sorog" tuning. I think…
Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
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...)

Compelling piece!
Wow...totally mind-bending!
I love the spoken voice and the perky perc, yes, but the way you have put it all together and listening to the final track, well, it's just oustanding!
cool
Whoa, seriously good. What a beautiful tone too.
well it sounds like its been a night for the clinking of ice in glasses,,, gotta say that photo is making me a bit thirsty.... this piece has a rich texture to it
Great job mate excellent really dig this sound
Very cool mate nicely played. Great tone on the piano great track.
Quite captivating! Reminds me of the Rocky Movies for some reason. Guess thats why I like it!! Sweeeeet!
lazy, mellow, melodic, musical journey,, very nice,, i hope you are feeling better soon, R
cool feel , different flavor with the mixed instruments Love the pic too
what a fun listen
Great percussion!
Cool beats and awesome phantom flavours..! Dark...midnight shipwreck dark! Now I want to go wrecking.
is this what they call post-psych-rock? Whatever it is it's great!
Nice one mate and very interesting.
So how does the harmonic series filter work? Does it just allow one to hear the lowest A, E and next to the lowest B? Wild stuff!
Nice transitions and enjoyed reading about your methods.
Some lovely melodic strands in here - love the sound of the dulcimer.
!!! Incredible!

Sam sounds like one of the Indigo Girls :-) Very nice song everyone!
this is very good - like the solid vocal harmonies and leads.
this is one inventive piece! what a mix - are you sure you didn't grow up south of I-10 in Louisiana? You have that Cajun blues thing down and who'd expect you could get oboe and bassoon to work so well with it! wow.
This is a great tune - I love the percussion and the deep deep sounds.
Yes, as a matter of practicality one performs with volume greater than the actual Fender (headphones to the GR-20, amplification of the Roland GR-20 ) - although I have mixed the "normal" and "new" tunings together and in some cases that sounds nice and fairly unique.
nicely done - sounds a bit floydish. Introspective Roger Waters.
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!!
