Locutus (Resistance is Futile) Locutus (Resistance is Futile)
Those dreadful Borg went and turned Jean-Luc into a bleedin' drone! Little did we know at the time that the incident at Wolf 359 would create quite a rift between Commander Sisko and Capt. Picard. And Number One says, "Mr Worf...Fire!"
Gandalf's Dream (unplugged) Gandalf's Dream (unplugged)
Other than a few pauses and a change at one point to an E6 chord instead of a D#, a stripped down classical guitar version of the dream.
Ancient Lives (Deir el Medina) Ancient Lives (Deir el Medina)
Celebrating the architects, engineers and craftsmen who erected the only one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World that still stands. The chambers inside still remain intact under all of that massive weight for over 4500 years...brilliant!
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!
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!
Eternia Eternia
Another one of those early New Agey tunes from around 1993 that are so dear to me because I was just getting started in this electronic music thing. Sounds like I had been listening to a lot of Jonn Serrie's Flightpath when I did this one!
The Perils of Dr. No The Perils of Dr. No
It may not have been the best, but it WAS the first, and it was in Jamaica mon! Sean Connery as 007, Crab Key and the Dragon and Ursula Andress...oh yeah! And as for Dr. No? He gets his in the end!!!
Whither Goes The Wuthering Wind? Whither Goes The Wuthering Wind?
An earlier stripped down version of "Tale of the Trick" this one showcases the fantastic KARMA elements added to this OASYS combi by EJ2 as an homage to the keyboard mastery of Tony Banks of Genesis.
Wonder of Christmas Morning (2010) Wonder of Christmas Morning (2010)
Wishing all a blessed and Merry Christmas! Look at all those toys!
Gunga Kalunga (The Guardians) Gunga Kalunga (The Guardians)
What started as another spacey Jazz tune (ala Arcturus) turned into a Worldbeat jam with the talking drum. Mo had sent me this artwork and it must have influenced me. Thanks Mo!
Coppin' a 'Tude (SHROOOM!) Coppin' a 'Tude (SHROOOM!)
Proof that anything can happen in the Soundworld on any given night! I didn't plan on doing a Funk Rock tune, but this groove was just too infectious to pass up. So here's to coppin' that 'tude...with a one-off warts and all rough mix version.
Santa's Wild Sleigh Ride (Christmas 2009) Santa's Wild Sleigh Ride (Christmas 2009)
Santa's loading up the sleigh and readying the Reindeer and getting ready to roll. Merry Christmas everyone!
The CoMoDo Bros. Cheap-o Lounge Act The CoMoDo Bros. Cheap-o Lounge Act
I had jokingly come up with the name "The CoMoDo Bros. Fiesta Grande Club Band" which Coronado quickly nixed, saying it sounded like one of those cheap lounge acts! So, here it is then, my tribute to those cheap lounge acts! ;-)
Indira Indira
Another short piece that I was asked to do for an Indian gospel radio program intro or voice-over.
Puppet Show (Still Breathing) Puppet Show (Still Breathing)
Version 4 of a song done in tribute to one of my fave movies 'Still Breathing'. I just love that puppet show scene for the sick little girl.
Soundworld Soundworld
The OASYS combi used for this one reminded me of an album Steve Roach did with Michael Shrieve called "The Leaving Time." It was inevitable that I would finally use Soundworld as the title for a song!
Suspended Suspended
A KARMA based rough mix from the Korg OASYS. The name is derived from that lovely A#sus2 chord. I'm thinking it needs a double lead in places. I'll work on it more later.
STB! STB!
Basically, a one off practice track from the fictional Soundworld Band. When I heard that funky bass on the OASYS, I just knew I had to use it for something. The V-Synth GT blows a pretty mean sax. The title? "Spank That Bass!"
Flare Station Karma Flare Station Karma
This one mixes a V-Synth patch called "Flare Star" with a cool OASYS combi that combines KARMA with wavesequencing made popular on the Wavestation, hence the amalgamated name.
