Description : Not really a blues song as such! More of a pop song. At the moment I'm in the middle of recording an album for the RPM challenge, which means writing and recording 35mins of music in the month of February, this song is number 4, so hopefully you lot will like it. Recorded in Ableton 5.3 using line 6 toneport, drums and percussion Sonic foundry the rest is Slap...

Your versatility is so impressive. This is a great listenable track, beautifully produced. I use Ableton as well .... it's awesome even for us pretend musicians! :-)

Very nice. There was one point between 40 to 45 secs where the vocals seemed overpowered by the instruments, but that's not a criticism. Just means I wanted to hear the vocals better. Very nice piece. I have tons of lyrics if you'd like to give some a go.

Jeez mate!..another masterful piece....To all you welcome strangers that might be reading this as you listen....The sheer amount of work involved to produce 35 minutes of music in 1 month is staggering!..you've got to conceptualize,workshop,record,mixdown,master,produce and on top of that, carry out your other commitments and earn a crust...sheeesh!This guy is a prime example of what is possible if you are prepared to work for it,and no better example to us all ....planet

sounds excellent slap. LOVE yer vocals..melody is fantastic.

actually I really think the drums are perfect..@2:20 is when [to me] sounds like a drum bridge and is when you introduce the bongos'..sounds just right to me.

great work slap!

Thanks Gizz, I had another listen through and I lifted the drums there on purpose, it helps the solo take off. I have also remixed it a bit, just to get it sit a bit better. Thanks for taking time out from poo duties to give my stuff a listen. Your pal Slap...

Description : Did you ever have those days when you are totally distracted? You find yourself switching from one thing to another due to overwhelm - say hallo to 'ADHD' But this time we could focus on the song and used some loops from Hysteria and Bigishi. And a big thanks to James who did help us with the guitars. (He was in the mood for blues :-) We are on Bandcamp as kayos2 Tell us what you think of this track....

Description : One another guy who ordered this track then didn't pay and doesn't respond to my messages.

Boogie crossover (its just a fragment), every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.

Almost 8 hours of work.

Description : so having been inspired by our girl Rita singing the blues I threw myself in and had a go, i went at it with full gusto, i think soul, blues are hard to hit because the singers always have fantastic voices lush females and deep soulfull males with great baratone vocals, i obviously don't have the greatest voice, but you gotta have belief in yourself first, yes i put emotion into my lyric delivery so this was a stretch, its less Teddy Swimms more dimestop sings :)) i'm sure you'll let me know

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!

Description : Hopefully it is the first song of an imaginary album that I will call "Diverse waves". I believe the title of this "album" will keep me focused on a style that incorporates and blends various musical elements for the pleasure of our ears.
I really hope you will like the results of this attempt.

Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.

Enjoy and download away.

Description : guitar on right run thru my friends mesa rec 25. It has an absolutely gorgeous tone. The guitar playing D, C #, B is run thru guitar rig 6. The the pushed back guitar on the left is also run thru the mesa. My UNC chapel-hill decision letter is coming out tomorrow and I'm super stressed. Whipped out my guitar and recorded some stuff. Hope you like it.

I love Mike Dean

Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.

Description : KesstA or "What's ur prob" Blues is an excuse for having fun recording several tracks of guitar and trying to make them sound alright all together. If it sounds a bit messy or jammy, well it's part of it.

Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.
