Don't mind the sound quality, i have listened to a lot of reel to reel, and all of my begining recordings were done on a 4 track cassette recorder. Glad you posted this one. I'm digging it. Agree with Sis, about the 7 min mark it really starts to come together...;)

Progtastic!
Love the whirling intro of the first track, and was gonna request breaking these gems down, but by 7 minutes I threw out that notion - the flow is awesome! The dreamy track at around 9 mins is just gorgeous! Lovely harmonies.
Great musicianship, awesome writing!

This an improvisation in 17 notes per octave with layered software synthesizers. Specifically, various percussion ensembles, french horn, piano, and two synthesizers. At one point I forgot what in the world I was doing because I transposed the…
has the idea of a triad or circle of 9's possible here at 17 note octaves? (sorry about the difficult question but I don't have the direct control of 17 notes in equal temper right now.)

are you mixing microtonal and macrotonals together? seems as if certain layers are tonal. like you are saying it might be better if the alien effects are continued.
I've been designing patches for my Prophet 6 the last couple weeks. I'm hand-playing a handful of them here...

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
Winter 1977 / 1978 - band is Clay percussion, Evan guitar and guitar pedals (synth sounds), Mike Barry piano, Mike Craddock bass, and Chris guitar (with echo / volume pedal)
This was the next to last jam of the night
Andrew, sorry - I wasn't even think of that even though I saw a live show video by HAIM where some young ladies from southern California ripped that cover song up! Worth a search!
just like it says
I moved my headphones and the wires connecting them to the mixer .. the wires in turn turned down the sound on the headphones to nothing.. --- I was fumbling with the settings the power the levels the plugs where they were…

Here it is in all of its glory...
THIS is the song that Mrs R and I had decided was a suitable response to a request to "Upload something HAPPY, stat!!!!!!!!!"
I tried to record it back in 2013 when I wrote it…
AKA New Wave or "Unknown #1"
As always, apologies to the band for the guesswork.
LYRICS:
New wave
Wine
Dine
Smile

Why
Mired
Fired
because I said so
I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…

Powerful stuff indeed.
Very intense, love the hits at 4:10ish....
Uber dramatic! Thrilling, even!
Swings like a pendulum - love that sax break!

Good work! And yeah a mask is the only way to fly
Some really interesting music that obvious had its own life!
Wow... this is such touching melancholy. It has touch of gospel but so, so sad.
Excellent! I love the drive and the feeling that this is music about to explode from its own intensity.
got chills listening to this!
