An unreleased track from Sinclair that we wrote in the early to mid 90s recorded to 16 track 2" tape. Some interesting tonalities are present that didn't follow the normal conventions...

Here And Gone

Released in 1992 on the Sinclair CD "the social parade" The heaviness of this track shines via the quick remastering I did with the digital technology of today.

The Other Side

Audio test of the prototype Hammond vibrato system for guitar. A new approach to physical pitch modulation on the electric guitar with never before seen or heard design achievements that yield a touch sensitivity, depth of sound, and accuracy that until now have been impossible to obtain.

Seven second acoustic outro tag recorded to garage band via internal mic on MacBook Air, pitched and echoed, edited for loop playback, exported as 192k mp3 loaded onto droid as my ring tone. Shortest fastest recording ever...

This was written in 2007 on a day much like today. "Same Old Rainy Day" Originally recorded into apple garage band. So being Jimi Hendrix' Birthday today why not share a bit of my music that was influenced by Jimi's music and style. Bounced the individual tracks into Pro Tools and added a bit of Hendrixian VooDoo, did a quick mix and here it is . His influence on me as a guitarist from a very young age has stayed with me all these years... 11/27/42 was a very blessed day. From one universe and into another...

Same Old Rainy Day

A quick instrumental written in about five minutes based on some of my favorite chord changes... 

True Dreams

"The instrumental song "Ripchord" written with original hard rock band Sinclair from Philadelphia. c. 1989 for full length vinyl release. Interesting song notes: Guitar feedback note starts and lasts throughout entire song, at this time I was using .012 to .060 gauge electric strings with an .020 plain G string tuned to A440 pitch, echo on guitar is a tube Echoplex unit, song form is what I call "pyramidal.""  Entire guitar track was also doubled from start to finish... 

Ripchord

Here's a quick improvisational song written by me in the backstage dressing room at Iron City in Birmingham AL on Friday April 4th 2014 in about an hour. Used a drum loop in Garageband and my Eric Johnson rosewood fretboard stratocaster plugged direct with the GB amp models. Just came out of nowhere, both the chord rhythm and lead were first takes and are kind of meandering at points like a back country brook on a lazy summer day, but with a purpose. So even though this was a quick hit, the feel and vibe is there and it will be a lot of fun to work this into a full track with real drums, bass, and keys.

My friend Tom checking the mic lines on some API 312 preamps into an Orban broadcast limiter I just wired in at the spot @OCI. 

Tom's Mic Check @OCI

What was supposed to be a live drum recording test ended up as this track which was completely off the cuff improvisation from start to finish with guitar in the same room as the drums. The bass and lead melody was cut after the fact, and the bass matches the tonality of the rhythm, but the lead doesn't, but does it matter?

Song sample: This is the outro lead for a recent song I've been working on that hearkens back to the days of yore... Acoustic guitar, drums, electric guitar lead, so far...

Close, But No… Outro Lead

This track was written in about 15 minutes to demo the early 70s Telex record amplifier that was thrown out and found by a friend. Was able to power it up via two 9v batteries and get one of the best fuzz bass sounds I've ever heard direct to record interface. So this piece of discrete solid state electronics lives again, out of the mist of doom...
