I'm almost done with this last CD by Wildgeas Music.
I'm retiring to new stuff and new gear :)

I wish to give many, many thanks to Bethan, Trevor, Michael, and Chris
for helping me create this collection…
Love the energy - in keeping with your "Friday" collab from a few years back - this has a lovely let loose feel that we could all do with a bit more of. Nice one!
I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
Rumba Columbia is a traditional Cuban pattern in 6: the "go-to" pattern for 12/8 - if you have only heard one Afro-Cuban rhythm in 12/8, this is probably it. As an energetic Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it…
Being as I am in something of a musical trough of despair (it's not as much fun as it sounds) right now I thought I'd try messing with my TMA-2 Reaktor instrument and try and coax some better results from it.
From a promising beginning TMA…
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…

last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…
I slipped and fell on the pedal, and cant get up cause this jammm is pinning me to the floor!
prepare to get ground up in chrome and sparks..
Hot Wheels Spaulding
Thanks to Kirk and his musician friends, all extremely talented. Or is Kirk solo…
If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…
well, i really took to both pieces. I decided a mashup should be without permission, otherwise its just aremix. Hope I made something new, Incidentally structure is based on theory heard on alonetone.
Just add 4/4 and go!
I couldn't get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone.
So sit back and relax, don't shower or shave and have a beer!
Swill A Beer
I sit…
:) no beer here boo hoo. Not even a near beer. I haven't had a beer in about a year. but, don't shed a tear, Have no fear......
I'm a wine-o.

@ Breaking Light, Thanks Kavin but I can't stand reverb! Geas tried but he was vetoed! Cheers Bee
Nice. I would have put a bit more reverb on the vocal, but minor. Very nice,yall.
Waiting is a bitch but this great!!
Oh, this sounds great!
Jeez! Faved at 40 seconds! Gorgeous!
That's a feel good number for sure!
More than two chords and you're into jazz ya know?
Absolutey love this little dynamo. Sensational. Tasty. Whirly twhirly brilliance.
Like the gyspy overtones in this - really nice blend of Geas and Bee.
Awesome synergy!
Cleverness - lovely to hear some new Geas.

That's some prime percussion. Real nifty playing.
I think you got something to work with here. It put me in a trance. Day dreaming sort of thing. Cool sounds Mr. Bags.
Ingenious and original. Very creative gents.
delightfully stimulating.....like Irish coffee.
Get's my Irish up. I'm feeling like a Boondock Saint.
nicely colored Richard. Very elegant playing.
The answer here is moon pies. Yum.
This reminds me of those little AM radios with a dying 9 volt battery. You know, the kind of battery you can test on your tongue.
inspiring.
What a huge arrangement. Nice job.
FN Slammin' man. Excellent guitar work as usual.
You ole softy you. :)
Oh well, I over used slick. That's what happens when you listen before you look :)
Lusciously groovy K. Pretty slick!!
Nice compliment to the guitar. Someone should drum this.
You certainly have your moments. Creatively cool.
Outstanding! Shakers, cowbell,and mallets?? Wow! I'm off to bum my brother's bongos. MORE DRUM SOLOS!!
Scary. whatever it is, I'll have three please.
Vicodin, young girls, and awesome sound tracks. Life is good for the Backyard Ghost.
