They left me home alone with my Fender Mustang and Marshall Amp. My cat ran away - and one of my ferrets stared at me for a full 30 seconds in disbelief and then decide telepathy was not going to make me turn down the volume. It isn't good…
The Broken Cathedral of Christchurch is an ambient poly-tuning piece using 11, 12, and 19 notes to the octave. The instruments used are a Korg MS2000 synthesizer, 19 edo electric guitar (several tracks), and 5 string bass – all with liberal…

Apocrypha is a progressive rock song in the sense of Rush more than ELP or Yes. I had come up with the guitar and via my GR-20 the strings - everything else you hear was performed by my long time collaborator Frank Miller (Phantasm777) - so that…

like this very much,, kind of a bummer in sentiment,, but then again,, it kind of find it fits,, thank goodness for the net, at least i can look up apocrypha
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!

Ah Yes! We all have an inner Tony Iommi waiting to get loose!
Fascinating story about those wrens...
Excellent.
Wow - fascinating photo to accompany this richly atmospheric track.
Nice. Reminiscent of Xela
Pretty cool! Love your delivery.
PROG! Crazy great vocals.
Beware the bubbling synth!
This won't play for me, Chris. And I'm getting a strange list of code where I suspect an accompanying picture should be.
Slippery melodies here - ominous sounds. Perfect title!
excellent guitar fx :] Atmosphere in spades. Very nice!
Coo Chris, that was quite exciting! Sounds a bit tribal! Yeah, great bod, shame about the face!
Chris that is a tremendous vocal. You make a great rockin band.
Wow, those vocals are crazy great! Fabulous Jim Morrison vibe! Woah!
Nice improv! Didn't know that the Ebow would work on 12 string
Brilliant.....love that emotion....scream it out
now that's a trip.......
What fun!!
Holy moly, what a rocker! Sounds like you're channeling Bob Scott there dude!

Nice and smooth.
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!
