This has been my work in progress for sometime now.  I want it to represent the must influential artists to me and how they inspired me to respond to their creativity.   Inspired Responses will be an EPIC collection of true pure rock songs.  These are the finalists so far.... #rollingstones #filter #godsmack #jimihendrix #nirvana #qotsa #kurtcobain #thewipers, #pennywise #tashsultana #silverchair #zakkwylde #tompetty ...

another treat from my "Fav Collabs" Ep.... collab with the super talented, underrated.... #blabbud and bandmate.... @soundmindproject ...

Take it My Friend (I'm not the only one)... #inspiredresponse... (w/ @soundmindproject)

over the next while I'll be posting tracks from my self-recorded auto-biographical #instrumental album.... Wadin'..... from my pre-Hvymtlhpp era.... 2006... this is the opening track...... representing my attempts at getting myself back on my feet and regaining some sort of sense of stability..... it was not easy... 

......in from the Sludge.....

This tune represents my formative years 1988-1998...... some of the best and worst daze of my life.... a lot of self-discovery, denial, despair, delusions, self-loathing and ego-driven desires to achieve the ultimate in success and fortune....  oh and a shit ton of narcotics and hallucinogens.....this is track 2 off of....
Wadin'....'06

10 year trip...

This tune represents the time in my life after 1994, after a few failed attempts at recovery amongst several years spent in and out of institutions hospitals and treatment centers.....,   this is when I figured I found the cure to my dis-ease.... Hurry-Caine.......🤯🤯🤯🤯.... this is track 3 off of....
Wadin'.... '06....

Hurry-caine....

This song represents a turnstile in my life... a fork in the road so to speak.... I had a choice to make.... Love.... or.. Death.... my Demons vs my Angel's.... there are 2 lead lines in there battling each other..  who wins!?!?  This was track 4 off of Wadin'...'06...

Love or Death

For 3 of the Wadin' tracks... I played over the same simple rhythym... making 3 similarly different tunes, ...in from the sludge... was the first, this was the second...  after choosing love over death I now had to wade... out to see... where and what my choice would bring me...

...Out to See...

After choosing love over death, this tune represents the letting go of my former ways, having faith in a power greater than myself.  Feeling spineless as I try to rebuild and reform myself into a productive member of society.  Facing commitment....!? This was track 6 off of Wadin'...'06....

Spineless

This represents the turning of a new leaf, right around the turn of a new millennium. A steady full-time job, married in 99, a child in 01, well on the road to recovery, yet life seems more chaotic than ever. Hold on tight...  it's a wild ride...Track 7 off of Wadin'.... '06

Chaotic Rituals

We are nearing the end of my self-recorded #instrumental auto-biographical album.... Wadin'...'06... This is the 3rd track that uses that same simple wading rythym... 'cause no matter what we do, live goes ....on and on....

...On and On

Another old gem I discovered going through my "D4 recordings 2004-2006" folder... this was inspired by #oasis 's tune #morning_glory ...... I used to use it to wake up my boy for hockey practice.....

CHECK IT OUT.... and....ENJOY!!!!

#LKTRAR ..... 🤘✌️👊✌️🤘

Wake Up

My last tune with Dr.Sound.... and probably our best..... had a blast with these guys and hope to reunite at some point...  @icepicksyndicate on drums and vocals, @dr_snave on bass, @soundmindproject on lead and yours truly... @hvymtlhpp on rhythym.... ENJOY!!!

Ain't Getting Up... (demo version)

This "Inspired Response" helps keep me on track.  I know my path won't always be straight and smooth, but whatever twists, turns or obstacles I face, I will find a way to continue on down it.  Acceptance of who and how I am is the key to maintaining some sense of sanity, or at least to keep from losing it entirely. 

Inspired by Nirvana's Lithium, played with my trusty buddy CJ.






Ain't Gonna Crack... (nirvana #inspiredresponse)

The latest from the musical mind of @soundmindproject from our most recent virtual jam, featuring our new drummer @drummer1979 with as always @dr_snave on the bass.  We are Dr.Sound and this is Humans Lie.... check us out here or over @bandlab.com .... #LKTRAR 

Humans Lie... Dr.Sound

Started the year off right in the virtual studio with my bandmates and #blabbuds from @bandlab.  Had a blast as per usual.  The idea, guitars and poetry come from @soundmindproject, the bass added by @dr_snave and our 2nd track with new drummer Dave @drummer1979. I added the melody and lead guitars.  It came together like it was meant to be.  Check it out and ENJOY!!!!

Breathe.... Dr.Sound....

Remix attempt #1, trying to bring the vocals more up front plus doubled the lead guitar in a couple of spots.
Check it out, c what u think, better, or not!?!?

Pleased to Meet U (remixed)

An impromptu virtual jam with my American brothers and #blabbuds from the past long weekend.   Soundmind brought us a simple progression, some lyrics along with a cool melody and we all added a little of this and a pinch of that and a dab or two of the other thing and here's what we concocted. 

Check it out and.... ENJOY!!!!

We are Dr.Sound.....
