My recordings are home demos. Most were done in the late 20th
Century, although I may put some much older material up from time to time.
I've added back the first three songs I posted because more space was allocated to each account, but I can't figure out yet how to link additional separate description pages and lyrics for each song, but the songs are back here again. I've added another one - "the first nature of god". It's a small download, just a spoken word poem with tons of reverb - I'm a reverb freak. :-)
The fourth, featured, song is called The Echo Song. The recording was made primitively, using a boom box and a small Panasonic recording cassette "walkman", with two cassettes, to over track vocal layers.
The sound is thus murky and distorted, which only adds to its character and beauty. Whatever you might think, this is actually one of my favorites of all my recordings of my original music. It expresses joy, sorrow, resignation, humor (especially if you're a reincarnationist) of a nature very personal to me, and a lilting, cradle-like quality.
The size of the file is relatively small - a mite over 3 MBs. I encoded it with a Variable Bit Rate (VBR), as I always do.
If you listen, I hope you'll enjoy it.
Lyrics:
I am an echo tell you why, tell you why, tell you why
I am soundwaves through the sky, through the sky, through the sky
If you don't hear me now, you will in an hour
If you don't hear me then, don't worry, I'll come again
Simple, isn't it!

I hope you'll enjoy it. It's only a demo, certainly hasn't got the polish of a studio recording, but presentation wasn't my focus so much as experimentation was. And..... I'll see you on the other side of the Sun. :-)
