A band I have been a part of for a while named Uncle Virus decided to cover this Floyd classic for an upcoming Halloween show. I have always felt that this song required some kind of a Tom Waits vibe vocally. I noodled around with my DL4 delay pedal to get a fuller sound and to pop out some bass leads.

I messed up a few times but this was an early rehearsal recorded with a hand held recorder a few weeks ago. recent practices have sounded pretty awesome.

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."

Hello. Welcome to my music journal of concepts. 

I believe that odd rhythms are not utilized enough in songs. I am constantly looking for rhythmic formulas that have a flow where any listener can fall in.  For now this place serves as a musical sketch journal. I hope that in sharing these musical sketches you will gain some creative ideas. 

If you want to use these tracks for anything let me know.
