David Nielsen and I were in bands together long ago, with all the associated R&R experiences, for five years or so. We connected again around 2015, jammed a few times, our abilities very rusty, and started a few songs that faded off to nowhere. Finally we knuckled down and completed “Catherine” in 2018, despite novice […]
Perhaps a bit psychedelic, a bit symphonic, a bit rock, another instrumental, this longer longer and a bit more of a journey. Headphones help, and few distractions. It may take a few listens, or none, don’t force it please. Rather than wear my influences on my sleeve, with this one I’m shamelessly projecting them on […]
*better mix linked above 1/18/22* Another short and sweet instrumental, some sort of punk/prog bastard? David again giving up an over-the-top drum track. This one is probably for turning up and flinging yourself around the room completely out of control, it’s quick, so harmless. More musics still to come. Here’s a bit OCD […]
To break through a long writing block, I decided to write something quickly, with less testing the limits of my abilities and knowledge, hopefully fun. This is the result, pretty much a hard rock three piece instrumental (of course), with 808 inspired bass, fairly short. Unfortunately the actual production of the recorded piece took much […]
Don Bird and I met in the early 70s, late 60s? Who knows. A hard rock band I was in call Joy was being reconfigured by “management” into a horn band. He played trumpet in those years, and was probably the more disciplined and musically proficient player in the band. Like most bands we evaporated, […]
This September Ann Wilson invited me to take part in a sort of garage band bash for a few days to see what happens, she was coming to town, had some pieces she wanted to try, and a few commitments to meet. I recommended Uberbeatz from previous experience and they went ahead and booked it, […]
A 5/2020 remix, this was posted with the original mix 2/2020 Another instrumental, hopefully reflecting the unrestrained exuberant spirit of much of the hard rock we grew up with and other influences current and past. Once again David Nielsen performed and provided drum tracks, and collaborated on arrangement and sonics. The video is just eye candy, […]
“Other” was written as background music for “A Selection From Four Decades of Photography”. Several remixes were made before arriving at one that suited that purpose, most were too insistent for attention or at odds with the images. I liked some of the rejected sounds, so wanting a stand-alone version for myself I put occasional […]
