This playlist was created from the songs that I been working on and re-recording for about three years. I have weeded out some songs that didn't record exactly the way that I had planned. I am having the Top 8 tracks cut to Vinyl soon. The album cover will have a QR code that links the listener to this playlist in order to download the digital files.

Firebird 400 ~ Top Tracks to Vinyl ~ 2024

This track has taken longer than any of my tracks. It started with an acoustic guitar. I then added bass and congas. There are about seven layers of Koi Fish wood blocks, afuche, maracas, vibra slap, aboriginal clap sticks, teak shakers, tambourine, puerto rico guiro. I even added wooden Frogs and Turtles!

Drawbacks Of The Future

Intro Kalimba

Firebird 400 ~ Intro Kalimba

This one was composed a long time ago. I kept re-recording the guitar parts until I came across a patch on my Boss SY-300 synth pedal.

Drawbacks Of Future

Firebird 400 ~ Drawbacks Of The Future

I composed this track a long time ago, but I wanted a different sound for the guitars. Recently, I purchased a Boss SY-300 synthesizer pedal. Now, every sound is possible.

Through With The World

Firebird 400 ~ Through With The World

At first listen, this may sound like a Clavinet. But, it's not. I am playing a Stratocaster through the Boss SY-300 synthesizer Pedal Board.

Turn That Thing Around

Firebird 400 ~ Turn That Thing Around

I think that I am finally finished working on the REMIX for this track! I first uploaded it on 11/11/2022. Now there are three separate guitar layers. Each having it's own distinct sound created on my Boss SY-300 Guitar Synthesizer. One is my Taylor K24ce Acoustic (preset P55), the next is my Ibanez AF95 Hollow Body (preset P23) and the last one is my Vintage Vibe 70s Stratocaster (preset P39) through my Boss PW-10 V-Wah Pedal.

Echoes Of The Ocean

Firebird 400 ~ Echoes Of The Ocean

This is the first song that I have recorded with my HeadRush Looperboard. I layered four separate acoustic guitar parts using a Taylor Koa 214ce. I then added Latin Percussion Conga Drums, Teak Shakers & Meinl Bongos using my old Yamaha MD4s minidisk recorder. Now, I have remixed this track by adding my Slingerland Snare Drum with Wire Brushes and Zildjian Constantinople Cymbals.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

Before The Last Train Stops

Before The Last Train

I recorded the drums and electric bass guitar around 2012. Last year, I started to record it on a better system. After re-recording the drums several times and then reworking the multiple guitar parts, I decided to go with this version. It could change again before it's over...

Sometimes I See

I am using Boss Phase Shifter and Tremolo Pedals. I will add drums and bass guitar some day... I am trying to achieve a Pink Floyd Prog-rock vibe by building from ambient and fusion strains. I finally got around to adding the Drums and Bass guitar to this song. I also reworked with my Taylor Sinker acoustic guitar using my Boss SY-300 synth.

Inner Power/Kiryoku

Firebird 400 ~ Inner Power/Kiryoku

On this song, I am trying to get a Pink Floyd (underlying pulsating ambiance) vibe. Or maybe if they were jamming along with Khruangbin! Mastered by Dolby ~ Aurora to hit the Sweet-Spot!
