Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…

A crazy zaperish Grooms nightmare dream .......way too. short a piece of excellence........loved the bass working its way through the crazy vibes going on.....loved it fav'd and saved
This is a traditional piece that dates back to at least the 16th century. Since the version I have is instrumental I used what is called Pythagorean Tuning and period instruments to render it. (alto recorder, bells (crotales), fiddle, and bodhran…
This is a composition that was realized by playing a Fender Mustang which has a divided pickup connected to a Roland GR-20 guitar to midi converter / synthesizer. The GR-20 generated piano and saxophone sounds (in two passes) which were re-tuned…
Berceuse (means cradle song - or lullaby) by Chopin Op. 57 midi recorded by Ron Lubetsky, M.D. in 1997. And indeed I can tell from the midi file this was a real performance. I ran it through pianoteq in Sonar X1. I hope you enjoy it.

Quiet
Quiet thoughts for quiet fights
Tumbled dry and folded rights
Wrapped up in a candied floss
Shrink-wrap now removed and lost
Curled, crunched into a ball
Out the window, into a wall
Bounce and twist and turn and spin
The truth is beaten…
Calling
There ain't no future without a past
all of the promises that just won't last
I don't believe anymore
Just don't believe anymore
One became two in the sin of despair
beyond the moment where there was a care
I can't breath anymore
Just…
I generally take my Zoom H2 portable digital recorder with me on my trips to music stores to record myself playing equipment I can’t afford to buy. This is one of today’s recordings. June 24th 2011
I travel the synthesizer (two 5 minute tracks) and cymbal rooms at Guitar Center with my Zoom H2. Since I play in the same key more or less it works more or less. Thank you John Cage.
This is a Gibson Epiphone Roadie 1/2 scale guitar I picked up used at Guitar Center for $30. It was on the block because no one set it up. The intonation was horrific. And to top it off the bridge is ever so slightly too close to the nut. But…

Often I am asked about the difference between "normal" 12 equal tuning and microtonal tuning.
Thanks to a retuning by Gene Ward Smith to meantone tuning (I don't know which) you can compare this famous piece of music in the familiar 12 equal…
A manipulated ambient-ish piece
Sound sources, 5 string bass, 18" and 14" china cymbal, cornet, mixed tuning, 6 edo, 12 edo, unconstrained pitch.
kudos for anyone who listens to the whole thing.

I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Bob and Reg got together tonight down the cellar and came up with this one dedicated to Desirea......Reg didn’t realise at the time but Desirea had got her hooks into Bob as well during her time down the cellar....but hey, all's well in love and…
a song about hoping for the best for all of us. the ending riff is about angst and disapointment and i use a flange on the ending lead guitar work. the closing of the song inspired me to make another song called locked door to my soul.
performed by Ashley Reynolds
from the album "Sunny, sorta..."
and she opened her eyes
the frailness all gone
but she wasn’t surprised
it was fortold all along
and the healing complete
not a shell anymore
what a magical feat…
this song - purple mountains was iriginally a jam back in 75. chris vaisvil was the guitarist and i always remembered it cause i liked it. he had an echo-plex then and it was pretty psychedelic. no keys were originally in the song but it was a…
Elvis got philosophising in the cellar again last night.........................so Louie and Reg got Bluesy with him and this is what turned out of the session.........
DREAMER(Lyrics)
Well I asked the mirror if my dreams would come true…
You'll never guess who turned up last night but the old Baird himself ....Will....Him and Louie jumped up to do this one for the cellar crowd...........
rockin!!

Intentional or not you sound like a 78 rpm record - it is like listening to folk song from the 30's - that is very cool. I like you composition and obviously the production.
Reg has been thinking he's fed up with all this celebrity crap.......the emperor is naked can't you see..........
CELEBRITY STRIFE (Lyrics)
I’ve said this once
I’ve said this twice
I don’t give a damn about the celebrities life
About who…
Celebrities at one time were paid to live the life the audience wouldn't dare to live. That was the real entertainment.
Its like the fake preacher at the entrance of the Renaissance fair who was on a tree stump yelling "Don't go in - it will make you a sinner! Inside is just sin! You will go to Hell if you go inside!" And I shouted back - "What if I pay you to go in and sin for me?" He stopped a moment looking thoughtful and then said "How much will you pay me?"
They were Black and Blue but finally Elvis got up and did his stint in the Live in the Living room fest....................................it was good practice for his strumming, cause by god does he need it.....but no one dare tell him…
The energy levels were at an all time high this weekend when Bon and jimi turned up down the Cellar for a session. Here's a little something from the session........... Reg'n'Roll...other Reg really blisters the guitar on this one
OH WHAT A…
Reg got reminiscing tonight down in the cellar and decided to cover this classic by dear old Rodney..............the piano needs a bit of work....but hey at least i'm trying ...at least i've found out what a F sharp minor is this evening and that…
Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !
jqscutt posted the acoustic guitar track looking for ideas, not sure if it turned into the genre he was looking for :)
The auuuggga horn sound was another classic unplanned phone interruption during the vocal recording but it seems to fit in…

I've never seen a guitar like that. Cool!
Lovely upload - don't think I've ever really listened to this piece before. Interesting changes!
