HVRUFF3 HVRUFF3
Heavy travel for work has prevented me from doing any new music for a while so I decided to throw this rough mix out there as a teaser. When I get time, I will do a right nice job of it with a snarling lead guitar and SFX galore!
The Molimo (Bayaka Spirit) The Molimo (Bayaka Spirit)
This high energy percussion fest was inspired by the movie OKA! featuring the Bayaka Rain Forest Pygmies of Yandoumbe in Central Africa. You'll have to watch the movie to see who or what the Molimo is!
Faces of the Rainforest (Baka Beyondo) Faces of the Rainforest (Baka Beyondo)
Another tune influenced by and dedicated to the Bayaka of Central Africa. The 2011 movie OKA! still gets me every time with an infectious blend of life, love and laughter in the Rainforest.
Everything but... Everything but...
The combi used for this one always reminded me of the English Pop duo everything but the girl, who pipped their moniker from a furniture store in Hull named Turner's. The slogan read "for your bedroom needs, we sell everything but the girl."
Event Horizon Event Horizon
The reworked and more polished version of the rough mix FuShun. I decided to rename it and make this one the title track of my 7th CD.
FuShun FuShun
The return of the Fusionista! A great OASYS combination named "Epic Rock in 7" provided the seed for this rough mix.
Mr Kateregga Mr Kateregga
This one is dedicated to my sponsored child Patrick Kateregga in Uganda. His winning smile and boundless enthusiasm always serve to inspire me greatly. I thank God for having these children in my life. This one's for you Patrick!
Brassa Nova Brassa Nova
Let the top down on the car and put some flowers in your hair sweetheart...we're off to Rio!
(|)-:Rhythm Monkey:-(|) (|)-:Rhythm Monkey:-(|)
Mallet beats galore and a heavy bass line courtesy of a cool KARMA groove along with the Triton mixed with a Phrase Loop from the Integra-7 fuel this fun rhythm fest.
Sir Trancelot (Tilting at Windmills) Sir Trancelot (Tilting at Windmills)
The first tune from the recently released Reincarnated combi set for the OASYS. A fellow musician on one of the forums made the TaW comment and when I read the Don Quixote bit, I laughed! Life's just too short to fight imaginary foes! ;-D
Jazz Mutant Jazz Mutant
The Soundworld welcomes the Planetary Alignment Jazz Mutant Club Band for some bass whompin' fun.
AMBICHILL_RM AMBICHILL_RM
Had this rough sitting around and just don't have the time to go and finish it. I was fooling around with a whole bunch of different KARMA bass lines on this one.
Snowfall Bolero Snowfall Bolero
Looked out the window and saw the snow coming down on Christmas day and it was on! What started as a simple bell melody morphed into this pseudo Bolero once I added that timpani drum and sleigh bells.
Das Funken Rocken Das Funken Rocken
A fun tune that I did back in September on my 56th birthday. I had intended to go back and rework it but decided to post it as is...warts and all!
Hamlet's Mill Hamlet's Mill
The Machinery of the Heavens...The strange and beautiful phenomenon of Celestial Mechanics as the planet does its Precessional Dance through the twelve houses of the zodiac.
.:':.Kom Ombo.:':. .:':.Kom Ombo.:':.
Named after the temple built in Egypt near Kom Ombo during the Ptolemaic era and dedicated to the Egyptian deities Sobek and Horus.
Heavy Weather Heavy Weather
This one is affectionately dedicated to the late Maestro's, keyboard wiz Josef Zawinul and bassist extraordinaire Jaco Pastorius of Weather Report.
Power Horse Power Horse
A friend's video of another friend's '69 Camaro "gettin' on it" reminded me of the first time I felt real horsepower in a 1966 Chevelle with a blueprinted 327. Whoa Nellie!
Soft Machine Soft Machine
The V-Synth XT patch used for the main melody phrase always reminded me of the 70's group Soft Machine. Also along for the ride are a V-Synth GT, two JD-990's, a Jupiter-80, an XV-5080, a JV-2080, a JV-1080 and a Fantom XR.
Transmission (Shine) Transmission (Shine)
Version 2 with additional sound EFX from two JD990's (Jupiter 8 X-Mod), an XV-5080 and a different bass line on the F# verses. And the Doog? He's still abiding man!
