Holiday Inn - Elton Hills Drive - LIVE - Featuring John Eller on Piano and Vocals

A work in progress. By no means is this finished; believe it or not, there are another two movements—another couple of minutes left in this long piece! Nor does it represent the final mix down. I just wanted to show off what has been done thus far. I'll get around to finishing this...eventually.

All tracks, vocal and instrumental, done by me. No vocal auto-tune, no pitch correction trickery, or harmonizer was used in the production of vocal tracks.

Suite: Incomplete (A CS&N Cover RE-MIX of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", Unfinished)

Yet another remix cover of Yes's monumental 1972 progressive rock composition; an orchestral rendering that, for me, has been a two-year-long studio project. This constitutes the second to the last remix.

This effort is lovingly dedicated to Jon Anderson and Steve Howe. I would be remiss if I left out Chris, Rick, and Bill. But, mostly it is a doff of the hat to Jon. Thank you for the decades of joy I've experienced from the first time the year of its original release date, and all of the countless revisits I made since. It is timeless, and it just keeps getting better and better and more moving with each listen!

M. Carlucci — sparse vocals, Schecter Diamond Series electric bass. Also used: Roland Juno-DS (symphonic sonics) and Vienna Symphonic software (VSL).

All sound effects are sourced from my own files. No looping was used, and no sampling was incorporated. All musical tracking content was played by hand on the bass and on the keyboard. 32 tracks were used, recorded/produced on Music Creator 7 software.

Close to the Edge - YES cover — Symphonic Rendering (second-to-last REMIX)

Charron McLeod's vocal performance was captured live at a "Fair Trade" rehearsal circa 2015. In studio, I isolated the track and built a multitrack arrangement around her. 
All instruments and backing vocals ~ Michael Carlucci

Songwriters: Liz Rose / Maia Sharp / Stephanie Chapman

I Don't Want Anything To Change (Cover) Featuring Charron McLeod

This is a rare recording, done for the purpose as a demo in the late 1970s, of the band "Nightwatch", a club act with which I was involved. I hope you'll pardon the rough condition of the recording.

Tumbling Dice - Lil Galasso Teifer w/ Nightwatch

Upbeat, uptempo acoustic rock.  Backing vocals by Dianna Parks.

Wanderlust

My take on a classic. First mix-down. The mix is still in process. I may replace this file. THIS took a lot of work!

All vocal and instrument tracks are performed by me.
All vocal tracks are "organic" — No auto-tune/no pitch correction/no harmonizer.
