You definitely did a great job capturing Buckethead's propensity to mix in improv with more structured songs (in this case, "Jowls"). It would be super cool to hear you try out "Scraps," should you feel the desire to give another Buck song a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvUGTmaKWTg
Some parts of this track were based on pattern No. 1155 from Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns, hope you like it.

A piece of music written during the tumult of grad school applications. The idea is for the saxophone and drums to be in rhythmic opposition for the majority of the written segments. The piece is in 9/8 and centered around minor 7ths and tritones.

Thanks Bro's!!!!!
I recorded the vocals on this about 14 years ago. An amazing pianist friend of mine from Europe, G.Longabardi, played the piano. Jonathan Sacks from California flew to Texas to co-write the music. If you're out there somewhere Jonathan, contact…
One day my husband was describing someone as a floosie galore. First I cracked up; then I wrote this song. Do you think I have to share royalties with him? :) I recorded all the vocal parts on this several years ago at Boyd Recording Studio…
I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool.
This predicament…
Another one from the dusty special price bin! It started off as a Pilot cover, but it didn't end up that way.
Dave Berry added the excellent tele solos and the crazy cool noises at the end. Thanks bro, you rock!
I spent more time on this…
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
Not originally intended as an acoustic song...but I couldn't get the big riff at the end to sound right with big distorted guitars, and then I realized on acoustics it might sound like it had a little Days Of The New influence.
Track 9 from…
Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Kind of a Sonic Youth version of the old folk tune. This was with my band Lincoln The Chain. Our vision was to create new and weird versions of tunes from the old timey days. Traveling music for post apocalyptic underground railroad...
All of creation is conspiring to shower you with blessings, right? Right. But not all of those blessings are sweet and delightful. Let's talk about the other kinds.
The song is part of the soundtrack from my book, "PRONOIA Is the Antidote for…

I really like how you took the essence of what Buckethead did with this song and funneled it through your lens!
SWEET!!!
