The realtors always disliked showing the old Victorian house on Layton Way. It gave them a creepy, clammy feeling. Especially in the basement where mad whispers and the sound of metal working off in the distance could sometimes be almost heard…
The music is quite fitting in consideration of the description of the house for which this sound file is named -- and I love it! I enjoy a creepy, haunting recording when handled with taste and mix down mastery, as evident here. Truly enjoyed every spooky second, especially when the voice came in!
This is a little piece dedicated to the lost world island of Socotra that grabs a lot of instrumentation from across Asia with little discrimination - the melodic instruments use Afshari with the exception of the Jaw harps which use 9-tET Sorog.
This is an improvisation around a few chords I found when experimenting with two simultaneous tunings on my Fender Mustang run through the GR-20 retuned to Arabic 17 note Pythagorean tuning and also as-is through my DoD FX-7
The way this…
We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.
Reverie by Claude Debussy arranged for piano, violins, and violas.
Reverie may refer to:
A daydream
A dreamy state of mind.
reverie, an instrumental composition of a vague and dreamy character

A short improv piece. I'm starting a new project, where I will post at least one improv video/recording online each week, and at the end of each month collate them into an album.
This is the first one. Since July is almost over, I figure I…
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.
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!

Interesting -- intriguing, actually. Dark, bitter, thorny. I stayed tuned all 7 1/2 minutes, and I come back for another hearing -- it's captivating.
The Monks are loose.....
Loving this too....
Loving this one Chris.....perfect as I'm sat sorting photographs from yet another wedding not mine I might add....
Snoopy visits the Middle East!
A nice Celtic feel.
Very peaceful and interesting.
I like how you separate the pieces on 1:28 and add/take bouncy sounds. great!
Looking through i found this one i'd forgotten all about....we should get the gang back and do some more
That's a unique scale the lead guitar is wielding about! What a psychedelic, groovy, tripping number. Keep grooving!
Alert me when it's finished.
Loved it
so very intense I like this very much..
Yeah, sounds kind of lonely! I nominate Trev! Cheers Bee
Sounds quite exciting so far. Cheers Bee
Surreal! That was fun. The music gave Lewis's scene the right flavor!
I love that!!You can make me a gorgeous backing track if you like! Just saying! Cheers Bee :)
That's the voice that used to read my bedtime stories...and this one was a favourite. Thanks for capturing a very happy memory, guys. x
Oh, Chris, Understandably spooky! A really sympathetic musical addition. Perfect! Cheers Bee

nicely done~!
interesting ! What is your set up? It sounds as if you were recorded in a hall.
I especially like parts I and II - nice work!!
boy, are you ever going through a creative period - everything is sounding top notch - I love the percussion + ambiance style here. World electro?
interesting aggressive minimal electro
nice themes!
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.
