Thanks for listening. 

Watching Behemoth Eat

A little rockabilly/R&amp;amp;B tune that represents my first real successful songwriting attempt.  Feedback greatly appreciated. 

I played the bass, drums and MIDI keys and sang this.  
Andy Rojas (Eclepto Funk Americana) did all the guitar work. 

Recorded at home and mixed with Reaper.

See The Milky Way

As per napadude's challenge ( http://scatterfilter.moonlancer.net/?p=666 )
My lame attempt at fusing Roger Waters, Tony Levin and me into something viable.

Fun project, Tom.  Good tune to work on.

The Mason Wright: Bass line

I am new to this whole songwriting gig.  I've been a musician for most of my life (bass and drums at different times) but never had the thought to pursue it to the point of production.  The Myo-Tonics is my hobby.  An Alter Ego where I can dump my ideas and influences into a pot, stir them up and concoct something that makes me something approaching happy.  

My influences should be obvious, but I'm surprised by how much rock-n-roll is coming out of my brain.  Whatever.  Serve the song, improve, record, write, find collaborators .... lather rinse repeat.  

If you find something here you like (or don't like... really want that kind of feedback), a melody, a lick, anything. drop a note.  If you are looking for collaborators, again, drop me a note.  I'm currently working with Eclepto Funk Americana on Live at Heinrich's

My recording setup is as follows:
Rickenbacker 4003 bass or Dean Edge4 bass guitar DI into Zoom R16 recorder/mixer
MXL 990 Condenser mic for vocals and djembes
Custom electronic drum kit with Roland TD-4 and Yamaha DTXpress II brains.
Yamaha YT-210 keyboard MIDI'd via USB 
2 African Djembes, a 12' and a 14", natural goat skins.

I mix and master in Reaper.
