The Guitar Man - Cover (Bread)

Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Somnambulist Break In

Echoes of the Dark Park (QXii)

There's strange. And then there's weird. And then there's Sun Ra. Imagine, if you can or will, a 27-piece (or thereabouts) atonal anarchic jazz ensemble (the Arkestra) featuring at various times a bassoon played with a trumpet mouthpiece, African dancers, and a fire-eater. Imagine further that this assemblage and its man-of-mystery leader could actually make this stuff accessible and enjoyable! 
That was Sun Ra. Those of us in Philly knew him a bit better than other places, for he lived here (cheaper to drive the band to gigs in NYC than to live there, some things haven't changed) in a big old house in the Germantown section. From what I heard the house was as unorthodox as its resident maestro. If he'd been white nobody would have hesitated to call it a commune.
You don't "cover" an artist like Ra, all you can do is let his interplanetary anarchy react with the portions of your soul akin to it, and be prepared to abandon all preconceptions while recording and mixing the results. Just so have I done. A ton of saxes, several clarinets of various registers, flute stand-ins: piano, organ, a little synth, and the bass: and my dozen-odd African percussion section. If I were doing this live, even with a band of multi-instrumentalists, I'd need a band the size of the Arkestra itself.
Sun Ra passed on in 1993 to wherever self-professed Saturnians go when they depart this plane: but longterm saxman Marshall Allan has kept the Arkestra running. Go here for the latest: sunraarkestra.com  The site contains NO COOKIES! Clearly good developments in more than music are at work here!

It's After the End of the World (Sun Ra)

I made this a few (maybe 5?!) years ago and never did anything with it because I always felt it needed "finishing". I guess I'm never going to get around to it so here it is.

A Synthwave wot I did

The latest from Texas Tea.  Terry had come up with this sunshiney track a while ago and recently redid a few things.  I jumped in and added the counter melody guitar lines and Terry mixed and produced it all.  Static Glow

At a Loss of Words

This track is the final result of what began as a short 1 min piece that I created as my final work for my Sound Design class this last semester at Berklee School of Music. The assignment was to showcase some of the presets/patches that I had created for the class. I ended up liking the short piece so much, that I made a whole song out of it. I normally do not write music in the Key of C Major (too happy of a Key for my tastes usually), but I am pleased with how this turned out. I think this music piece really draws in a sense of longing and nostalgia.... or a mystical "Wanderlust" for a time and place never experienced. I was pleased to find that someone has indeed invented an existential term for this inner Nostalgia/Wanderlust.... "Anemoia", so thank you to the man who writes the 'Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows' for this term. I hope you all enjoy this music piece and thanks for listening! New Years Blessings to everyone!

This track was created using Reason 13 Rack Plug-in with instruments Thor and Subtractor, Ableton Live 12 DAW, Vital Synth, Arturia's Augmented Piano, Ableton's Drum Rack with 80s drum samples, stock Ableton EQ, effects and utilities, Fab Filter EQ and effects and mastering done with Ozone 11.
