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…
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

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

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…

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.

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and…

This will sound out of tune and very odd to most people... and certainly its not a "quality instrument". But it IS lo-fi :-)
I changed my $30 electric guitar from Just Intonation fretting to 14 equal notes per octave using cable ties, loaded…
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…

Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
Poor old Reg he cant figure it out!! ........ since he's been listening to his self help tapes to stop drinking he has never got any money and he just doesn't understand it, he keeps working coming home relaxing to the tape........... then when…
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
With all the highs in Regs life, it had to equal out and Reg has dropped like a stone ........he's broken.........he's had a breakdown.....Well let's face it. It had to happen he was just pushing himself too much. Hopefully he can carry on the…
a bit smaller in length, a bit more up lifting, at least it makes me feel like lifting my arms up into the air when i listen... WN is a dialogue between two sides, so i suppose this is the section where the angles get their say,,,, dedicated to…

Well, who do think came down the cellar last night... Yep! you guested it, Charlie Sheen, he was none too happy. He should have been if the girls with him were anything to go by. He'd come to talk to Elvis about handling the Yes men and how he…

my goodness - you've been pouring out music and stories - I can't keep up - I surrender the title of the most prolific composer ever to Reg :-)
Man - how did you get the Louis Armstrong voice - oh wow.....
And the rock opera people are right - think Rocky Horror Picture Show - if you could get together a script and a vision and sell it you could be set for life. There is no question about you having the talent to pull it off.

Funny, when I was going through divorce I ended up in a support group - and there was a late 50-ish ex-cop who showed up one day who complained about this young woman who talked him out of entire retirement savings for drugs. (You'd think he'd know better....) Trying to remember her name.... did it start with a D??? I was glad when he left - he apparently got tired of us when he found out we could barely make rent for the room in the church we met at Friday night....
