This here is a demo recording of an ode to Laverne DeFazio that I created for my band ICED INK, completed in 2022. This is NOT the live band; this is me playing real guitar, fake MIDI bass, and programming fake drums. I can't wait to hear us play it for real!

DeFazio (Vo Dee-Oh Doh Doh)

Here's what happened when I got slap happy, downloaded a MIDI file of a hit song from the internet, and, uh, "reinterpreted" it.

A song for one of my favorite media delivery devices ever, the JVC HR7300 VCR. BLAWG http://mikekrenner.com/2017/05/vidstarwalkman/

All sounds (except for most of the drums) played on my guitar with the Fishman TriplePlay pickup and/or the new and awesome Jam Origin MIDI Guitar 2 plugin.

Raceway To Fun

Home demo of new ICED INK music called "Neo-Maxi Zoom Dweebie", a dedication to the great Brian Johnson (The Breakfast Club one, not the one who sang for AC/DC... although it would be kind of cool if the former sang for the latter, wouldn't it?)
