Impromptu lunch break jam in my kitchen. Four parts:
- double metal sink played with hands for an African hand drum effect
- a squeaky cabinet being opened and closed for a bass tone effect
- a small pot played with hand for a bell pattern
- solo on toaster oven, slow cooker, and metal broiling pan using a fondue skewer in one hand and a wooden serving spoon in the other.

Kitchen Mayhem

Clay udu drum improvisation track slathered with digital effects.

Udu Voodoo

Early morning nature sounds captured as the sun rose over the mountain here where I live fused with late night drum kit and percussion noodling. A day in the life. 1971 Premier African mahogany drums with 1940s WFL mahogany snare drum recorded in my living room with one overhead and one kick drum mic, no EQ or digital processing, just the live sound of the room. The shaker/jamblock and tambourine tracks came first and then decided to hop on the kit.

Morning Bird Boogaloo

Strictly bathroom sounds. Bathtub for bass plus metal heater grate, towel rack, mugs, glass bottles....all played with hands and a metal spoon.

Bathroom Interlude

Two hands on Tabla set, two sticks on Tibetan yak bell, tambourine, jamblock, and metal pitcher. One tabla track, one bell track, and the rest in a third track.
