Noo toon

After much musical inactivity, I managed to churn out another tune.  The words came out as if I swallowed an emetic.

Catharsis??  Kind of, I do feel a bit better…

I knew my voice wouldn’t do it justice, so I asked my friend Kevin Evans to handle the lead vocal, which he did.  He also helped me tend to several remixes, a job akin to pruning…


Ennui


That link will take you directly to the stream.  If you cannot stream, there is a download button on the page that will allow that too.

Another thanks to Kevin for yet another great internet collaboration experience!!

Scrub Records

Allrighty then……

I got the omd deal sussed out.  Thanks to my cubase.net colleague Dave Smith, I discovered the joys of Scrub Records.

Their format is similar to the late ArtistBlast, and they have no pop-ups and fewer ads.  I can now happily do some “deep linking” to my songs anyhow, and I will do so here shamelessly.

Playing Cloud Music

The Last Son

Another Fine Day

Dobro Impressions of the Three Bs


Unfortunately, my other collaborations with Kevin Evans and Ian Rushton are still where I have indicated in the post below.  I have included links to their pages here anyhow.

Thanks for giving a listen…Please comment here if you actually do listen; I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts.

@#$!%&*

That’s right—


I have been trying in vain to present some decent links to music that I have made or participated in.  ArtistBlast is dead and gone, a victim it seems of decent connections and reliable up time.

Soundcluck is failing as far as links go.  I have tried several times to put up links to stream the songs—I figure you are viewing this without wanting to screw around too much with searching for songs that in the end are, well, just songs…

I am proud of what I have been doing musically.  Well, these sites are not being very cooperative in my bragging efforts, so I will just have to present links to the sites where my collaborations exist.

Kevin Evans put up a site called Drift.  Here you will find both of my collaborations with him, although “The Last Son” is also up at my soundclonk site.  I encourage you to listen to “Easy”—it is a very original tune, and I do some fair rippin’ up of the ol’ dobro there.

Ian Rushton’s site at soundclot is a bit more of a challenge.  The song “Distant Horizons” is there roughly half way down the list…

I hope you have time to give them both a listen anyways…

In the distance, a death knell

Forget about all of the stuff I wrote below regarding Artist Blast…

In a most typical dot com fashion, they disappeared without hardly a “by your leave…”

This is surprising too, being that they lately have instituted higher bit rate on their radio station.  They also started an affiliate program, which I signed up for as well.

Par for the course for me I’m afraid.  I joined Artist Blast when I won a lifetime membership (ha!) by creating a promo spot for their internet radio station.  I’m the guy who never wins anything, and now we can see why…

So, I will be posting songs somewhere else, and updating links to those that I have collaborated.  If you like the music I make, stay tuned…
