Jesus Clause Santa Christ

Jesus Went Up Your Chimney and Stuffed Your Stocking

I started this one around Thanksgiving last year and worked on it for quite some time to get it to where it is today. It has funky elements to it sandwiched in between some grinding riffs with little segues here and there to try and keep it interesting. I put my Juno synth to good use throughout to give the rhythm section a little boost.
The solo work was recording during one particularly inspired evening in January, and I really tried to push myself to unfamiliar territory with my Les Paul Futura and some crazy amp and effects settings.
The title references the rhythm guitar sound, which was strongly influenced by all of the snow we kept getting throughout winter...scooping it was really Kinda Grind.

Kinda Grind

A heavy tune that originated on Black Friday last year. I created a cool effect path for the bass guitar that really gives the tune a  push into some pretty heavy sounds. Pretty sure that sharks do not drink beer, so the title comes from the initial riff that I started with; a little Immigrant Song-ish riff that I found quite...frightening...like a Chug Shark.

Chug Shark

To celebrate the official birthstone of September, and my birthday month, I created this ambient piece. I built it around a repeating delay motif on my guitar and added some other guitar and synth parts to create a cinematic feel. It sounds really cool with headphones.
Oh, I forgot to mention...today is my birthday, so let's get Sapphire Crazy.

Sapphire Crazy

The Water Scorpion/The tale of Serket:

Always aware
Living a life
In paranoid circles

Mirrors of horror
Crawling in the desert

More than a weapon
Created to balance
Between the good and the bad
Pleasure and Pain

Protector of dead
She has the power
To give or take your breath

She is the Goddess
With a poisonous sting
Defender of life
The bringer of peace
With a fire
Burning from within

A venomous creature
That feels no pain
In a world full with fear
Either can take your life
If you let it come too near

Don't let it get too near

The Water Scorpion

This is a special release for Halloween, a ditty I created around a certain theme song that some may be familiar with. If not, maybe you'll find it entertaining at least.
Ten years ago I was in a little country band that also liked to play rock music, and we had a Halloween show to play in my little town. As we planned on dressing up for the show as Wolfman, Dracula, and Frankenstein, I thought it would be fun to have an intro theme song to help us to the stage; this is that song. Hope you have as much fun listening as I did re-visiting it for a new master treatment. Happy Halloween!!
I'll be back in a couple of weeks with a brand new trippy blues song. Stay tuned!!

Oh Herman 2023 Master

I actually recorded the bluesy mid-section jam first, but thought the tune needed something completely different to flesh it out. So I set out using a basic tom rhythm from Discreet Drums "Space Time" instant drummer from Sonoma Wireworks and built up the section layer by layer using various organ settings on my Roland Juno.
As for the title....the Space Time drummer is in 3/4 time signature.
So have a seat, grab a drink, and check out 3 Quarter Saturday...on Sunday!!!
