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 think this needs a guitar solo but i'm not capable of doing it so if anyone would like to give it a go i would love to hear what you could come up with its in C. Otherwise i'm quite happy with it...now with a solo by Billy Jack
Please Don…
some mistakes, like playing live, but i make them right quicky. the song is for halloween and make of the lyrics what you will.
the drums have phaze on them. some of the soft guitars have phaze and flange. the beginning 2 1/2 mins are slow…

yikes, hope i don't disgrace the beatles with this one. i tried to stay to the spirit of the song. obviously i didn't have a sitar and i didn't think i should need to re-create every sound effect they did, but i did many! one of my fav psyche…
i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
Well last night just as i was of to bed , there was a knock on the door of the cellar and it was John & George they had come for a sess and i mean who was i to deny them…..they'd heard of the Beatle fest from Elvis…he could never keep quiet…
