I put locking tuners and flat wound chrome strings on my 17 edo axe. Oh and I quieted the hum quite a bit. There will be more coming. Been a busy week - I think this is the first music I've made all week. I'm outta practice. A whirl with the whammy…
Music written and performed by Mike Smith, also known as Dragonsong.
When Mike first asked me to read this poem, he believed it was written around the time of the Spanish Flu...but, our sources say no. It was most likely written by Kitty O…

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

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.

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…

Like your version.
nice 12 string,
love all the experimentation, wow :)
Here's to home made instruments! And here's to Paddy: good riddance to those snakes, lamenting or not.
Lovely mix of flavours.
Love the weaving keys - conjures up images of enchanted ballet shoes dancing on their own. Very clever.
You rock out with the best of 'em, CV!
Like a soundtrack to a late night Star Trek episode! Crazily inventive and unsettling.
Intensely atmospheric...amazing!
*runs to get headphones*
Like it, like it, like it.
the 'about me' picture pretty much summed it up heh. favourited.

I would imagine having a dreams such as this piece as i sleep at a Funeral home, or would i?
Reminds me of Barnabas Collins.

Creepy!
Nice spooky texture. I interviewed for a job at a funeral home once but opted for the hospital across the street.
Awesome!
Yes, ofcourse I knew it. Well done.

Your speaking voice sounds so much like your mum. This is a beautiful composition and production!
Excellent work!
frickin' cows with lasers!

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!
Great textures!
