Yes It Is

My first attempt at writing for human voices, having just bought some choral samples.  I've reformulated this 1964 song with new harmonies for 7 choral voices.

Track 11 - If I Fell (Beatles) (December 2024) - Transformed and Reharmonised for 7 choral voices

A cover of my favorite song of all time, 'The Long and Winding Road' off the Beatles' Let It Be, by my favorite artist of all time: Paul McCartney. 

Tracks for this cover were recorded throughout the spring of 2024 in Richmond and Fairfax, VA, with my dearest friends
Drums: Chris N
Rhythmic Guitar: Andy T
Vocals, Piano, Bass, Synth, Production: Joshua K

All tracks recorded and mixed by Josh K via REAPER.

Long And Windy Toad

Paul Abrams is playing drums.  I'm doing the rest. Recorded probably in the early-mid nineties on a Tascam 8 track.

Strawberry Fields Forever  (Beatles cover)

Dedicated to the wife on Valentine's Day.  The original is a masterpiece but so fun to play and record.  I did it with a bluegrass accent

Something

Inspired by the Laibach / Mina Špiler version my take on the wonderful Beatles song. ☮

There's A Place

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.

I'm just some elderly nobody farting around in my basement studio.  I like chords that taste like Rembrandt paintings. But I only wish I experienced synesthesia.



I've been recording my original music (and covers) since 1970.  I just love the process of recording and engineering... I'm never more in the zone than when I'm critically listening to a mix for the umpteenth time.  That said, at my advanced age and after a lifetime of standing in front of VERY loud amplifiers, I have significant hearing loss in the high frequency range.  I hope that anyone who chooses to listen to this lifetime's worth of work will call it to my attention if I've accidentally over-emphasized the high frequencies of any particular song, thanks in advance!

I've had the privilege of working with some supremely talented people throughout my career.  People who must be mentioned are (in no particular order) Alice Bohn, Paul Abrams, Jay Mattingly, Annette Shepherd, Ashley Shepherd, Roger Klug, Ty Masterson, Jill Haarlander, and so many others that my poor, withered memory fails at the moment.

I never wanted to make any money from my music.  I just wanted people to hear it and enjoy it as much as I felt the magic from the music I've loved in my life.

I hope you enjoy this stuff.  :)   If anyone would like to watch me playing music live, with some very talented people, there are plenty of videos here:  https://www.youtube.com/grxymkjbn
