Bluer Than Blue

A LONG, SLOW, SAD Blues song with strong Floydian tones and gruff baritone sax interludes, a CUT, and a CUTOFF. It is always a delightful experience when composing to discover something that seems to WANT to reveal itself to you, and you merely UNCOV

13-Ice And Fire

10-Incident

Something has happened. You haven't had time to see.... confusing images flash before your eyes..... it was all an illusion.
This band is my one-man band. You remember seeing the one-man bands of the past, a guy playing a trumpet and an accordion with strings from his knees to a bass drum? No? Well I'm not like that, except in spirit! Instead I have a Roland W30 Workstation (a la Prodigy!) and three networked computers. All my output is DIGITAL. I compose, my band plays. When I'm tired, it packs up immediately. There're only ten steps from my practice hall to my bed! The band never complains, doesn't need refreshment, and doesn't go on strike for more pay!
