DEMO 2015 #5

Solo project using GarageBand on an iPhone 6 plus. 

I use a Schecter Electric Guitar with an iRig mobile, and a pair of iPhone stock headphones to record vocals.  Some tracks use an acoustic guitar miked with the iPhone headphones.  Many tracks are recorded in a pickup truck.  I have used hand tools as percussion instruments and I have been known to record vocals while driving. 

For the most part these are recorded in one take per instrument - lyrics are only written down AFTER the song is "done".  The lyrics are fantastical and improvised, often recorded in a car.  This is rock and roll fantasy escapism for me. 

I used to play drums in several bands but have always messed around with any instrument I can get my hands on.  No formal training in any of this.

So enjoy! Don't take them too seriously, and use your imagination!

As for the art work, I have been using images of outer space from https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinmgill/ under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ and Fraenk Darko does the artwork for all of the collaborations we do.
Most everything else is created by me, but I give credit to others in the track descriptions in a few cases.

I know I haven't been around much lately and I apologize.  This is mostly due to the fact that I have started working with a band here in Halifax NS and we're keeping things under wraps until everything is fully done.  I still have solo material to be posted which I will be doing soon.  This page is not dead.  I will be back very soon with lots of new material for your listening pleasure.   In the meantime please click on the "Tracks" tab to find my pieces and please feel free to write me directly with any comments, criticism or feedback, I really appreciate it.  Thank you so much.  The new band is quite different than most of what's here, we've decided on a bluesy, grunge, metal sound.  My page here is Instrumental only pieces by design, not what I would called structured songs for a band.  Still lots to come.  Also don't be shy to send links you of your own material you may want help in sharing.  Love to all.  Cheers.

Hey all this is Joey, I am doing well 6 years later after Pace died, My COPD is under control... If you ever fly out of Santa Ana or come in come and see me at the ticket counter at Delta... Missing Pace
