A Galaxy Teeming With Life is a composition made by manipulating a Hubble space telescope picture, manipulating a sample of Francesca from 8Dio and creating a new tuning that is 256 harmonics of every odd harmonic from 3 without reducing to an…
This is a classical finger picked blues / classical guitar solo hybrid with lexicon reverberation and freeze pedal. There is some sloppiness. The idea was to push myself in playing and what I was playing melodically and harmonically.

Remind me to play this at my next garden party. This should make up for the lack of garden and make everyone think I spent a lot more on the punch. Inventive, unsettling, swarmingly clever!

Very interesting. Alonetone ate my first comment apparently. Thanks for the link the other day as well. Will be doing some reading over there again soon

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…

Do you know where the title comes from?
One of the Disney Parks (I don't remember which one), as part of it's Covid-19 re-opening plan, suggested to patrons that screaming on a ride is a good way to spread the coronavirus, so instead they ask…

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
I moved my headphones and the wires connecting them to the mixer .. the wires in turn turned down the sound on the headphones to nothing.. --- I was fumbling with the settings the power the levels the plugs where they were…

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.
LYRICS:
New wave
Wine

Fired
because I said so
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…

Excellent!
Great thumping rocker, Chris! All this music is you? Fantastic!
Very lovely improv.
Love the ominous sounding intro - cool guitar tone. Sounds kinda mystical.
Yeah, rock on Chris! Some awesome guitar work here! Well held, that last note!
Nice improv
very cool.
Neat sounds.
You're on a roll with these JT covers. Wond'ring Aloud next maybe?
Sounds like the bees and soldier ants joined forces to take over the world. Creepy! Oh, and a baby one as well! Ah, cute?
Underwater blues - this is why the sea is blue.
Remind me to play this at my next garden party. This should make up for the lack of garden and make everyone think I spent a lot more on the punch. Inventive, unsettling, swarmingly clever!
What a great song! Lovely version!
Menacing!
Very nice!

Well I know you know I like a nice pretty tune but wow Chris, you certainly come up with very clever and unusual ideas.
very nice sound!
It's a good song isn't it? Nice and gently folksy.
Loving these sounds. Its like the sounds our brains would make if we could hear them in action. Awesome work!

Excellent work!
frickin' cows with lasers!

Excellent!
This is a great composition and the production top notch! Excellent work!

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!
