J.M.Sutherland - Missing You Again

Writen with my Roomate JOHNY in the mid nineties and recorded on a tascam Cassette 8 track with direct custom guitar modeling ....The name MEANS NOTHING it just sounded edgy. Never got a vocal track for it so it remains an unfinished Instrumental. Great representation of the evolution of the home recording studio as this was an early version of mine.....  for being a CASSETTE MASTER its not to bad really.   Great guitar solo....

It is the sole intellectual property of ASYLUM RECORDS and the EAGLES. It is Still a work in progress with respect to Vocal performances.

Dream On - Aerosmith Cover By JMSutherland

First... Im A tradfitional MUSICIAN that Physically plays or can play all the instruments recorded on these songs (exception being keys).  What you will hear is REAL guitar and bass  with Drums programmed and perfomed from EZDrummer II &III , many of the patterns are finger tapped and fine tuned.
ALL vocals Are myself harmonizing with myself ...... ALL tracked and produced by me in PRESONUS STUDIO ONE 5 /  with a Faderport 8 and UPhoria 1820 interface, Akai Key and pad controllers and FOCUSRITE and other misc Mic Pre's..      THIS ISNT ELECTRONIC, COMPUTER and MIDI sequenced GENERATED pattern based stuff that seems to be SOOOO popular these days.     Its all ART but not all who create it are Musicians (in the traditonal .... spend a lifetime to learn and 1000's and 1000's of hours of practice and study to master thier instrument MUSICIANS)I appreciate eveything that is well though out, arranged and well recorded music, sound, artistic expression and the like...... BUT i CAN REALLY DO WITHOUT The HOUSE DANCE ELECTRONICA.....edm STUFF......mind numbingly droning DJ bot sequenced crap that doesnt really meet the criteria of musical expression and composition
