My Thanksgiving Song... giving thanks to those who took the first step, but are all but left out of the true history.  Mark Webster: All instruments (drum track from fruityLoops), voices from NPR thanksgiving segment in 1995.

All My Relations

Sorry for the quality of this recording. it was done in a hurry, and needs to be redone.  I will before next year.

Save Me

Little Drummer Boy

Opening cut from my first CD "The Promise Kept" in 1999.  Except 1 looped percussion track, I play all other tracks (guitar synth bass, sitar, violin, "chordal air") and vocals, all first take from an improvised idea. 

Abu In Asia.wav

Recorded in Jim Volks Living room, written by the two of us (the Fluid Earth) the day before, with Hakan on percussion.

AreWeThereYetAreWeThereYet...

An improv from a live performance at Victorians Midnight Cafe in Columbus Ohio, sometime around 2008

Mocha Amaretto Breakdown

First Studio Collaboration between Jim Volk and I.  Jim laid down the acoustic rhythm guitar parts and percussion samples looped in ACID and sent it to me...  I then recorded a live gtr synth accompanying rhythm part and inserted (A Frank Zappa technique) a guitar solo of mine from an old piece, and it miraculously fit!!  

Blue Acid

From The Fluid Earth (Mark Webster/Jim Volk) live performance at Victorians Midnight Cafe 2004.  This is an improvised jam that started after playing ELP's "Lucky Man"...  As Lucky Man began winding down after the end of gtr synth solo, Jim started a percussive loop in 6/8  and rhythm in the same key... and went from there ending with both of us looping at different lengths.  Jim turned his off, left the stage, mine kept going during the break.  

Got Lucky

Should have named it "Channeling Miles" since I was picturing him while soloing...   This is just an improvised "jam" where I laid down the bass line with Gtr Synth into the Loop pedal, and a unsynced piano (gtr synth also) into the digital delay on infinite repeat, tapping the bypass switch now and then to give it some "change", and just soloed over it with the trumpet patch on the gtr synth.  recorded in real time.  Added djembe and talking drum tracks over it much later.    

Big Blue Berets

A song I composed and recorded (looped percussion with live guitar synth) for and dedicated to Cheryl Wallace for her memorial service...  an supremely awesome movement artist, who left us for The Great Dance a number of years ago.

Earth and Sky (the secret life of Clouds) for Cheryl

This recording is put together with music recorded 10-17 and 22 yrs apart.  First part:  a delayed Loop using 2 reel to reel tape recorders recorded at Cleveland Inst. of Art in 1984 using a Les Paul through a Yamaha monophonic gtr synthesizer.   Second part:  bass and drums, played by Nick Marino and Sean Cary during a Tongue-N-Groove rehearsal in 1997, cut and looped in 2003.  Third part:  Rhythm guitar parts recorded in 2004 onto live tracks after the previous were laid out in both ACID and Cubase programs... Humpback Whale songs added at the same time... Named "In the Deep" for the whales who were the original influence for the original/first track.
