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.
Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine.

warning!!! this is a long 10+ min instrumental
It's a piece about 4 years old that was my first attempt at using synth voices,, I am still looking for a good one,, if anyone knows.
The music itself is a tone poem, loosely dedicated to a children…
Enjoying a few tracks on this site with Indian flavor lately. My brothers legs were so red from slapping them to get the perc sounds in this track, I had to laugh, That alone was worth doing the song ;)
Enjoy # 92

Hi Richard, Thank you for your comments on my sonata 1. I don't play piano as well as I compose. While I will be posting performed piano pieces my Sontas are beyond my playing ability.

On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Wonderful stuff guys!
Lovely medieval feel!
Ah, dark shadows indeed! That was gorgeous!

Very cool.
Nice and slightly crazy vampirian atmosphere, an interesting song, good work!
Which ferret is the witch ferret?
Bach meets Dracula! Awesome.

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.

I love the sample work !
Thanks for the listen and comment on the improv Richard!
I see in the tag that Norm was involved - very nice guys!!
love the way you handled the Indian additions - lovely!
very nice - perhaps a bit more development would be even better!

so - if I have the fret board right - stacked 5ths ? Nice work here!
cool - I've not heard an oboe ensemble before!
Excellent - what pedal are you using?
this is excellent - I love what you do with the chord stabs towards the end especially!
reminds me of KD Lang for some reason - I hope that isn't bad.
I love your toys!
this is excellent
