Kill For_alpha (crazy choral mix)

August 13, 2010

This is an update of Kill For_alpha. I couldn’t get a hang for the original words that I used for this song, because I had changed the melody so drastically, so this is mostly new, though it’s the same theme. I tried doing a no word, or made up word three track choral part for [...]

Kill For_alpha

August 13, 2010

A short instrumental piece (for now) I call Kill For. The backing rhythm guitar is something I have been fooling around with for quite a while, with a little something thrown in, but the lead guitar was totally off the top of my head. You are hearing me play a beat up Ibanez acoustic guitar [...]

August 10, 2010

It’s 30 Day Eve, and I am pooped. I know that tomorrow I will take a 30 minute walk and complete the 30 Days of Walking, but then what? Will I keep walking every day? I will, but now I don’t have to do it. I want to. The end is nigh, and I will [...]

Three weeks in and still haven’t missed a day. Some of the walks happened at night, but I didn’t miss my 24 hour window, so I feel pretty good. The best walk, as usual, I had company. The night started with a simple meal of chickpeas-sweat potatoes-tomatoes-spinach-and probably something else-curry. I asked if there was [...]

Bleach Sweat Metal

July 30, 2010

I added some Alpha vocals to this, meaning that I just used whatever popped into my head with minimal editing or attention to sense. I find this frees me up to concentrate on the music rather than getting tongue-tied over the words. Sometimes I start with solid poetic lines, other times I do this and [...]

30 Days of Walking-Day 15

July 27, 2010

I made it through two weeks and things are going great. Some friends came in from Colorado and we spent the weekend at Seaside Park, NJ, but I still made time for my walks. Seaside is very pedestrian friendly and on Saturday I alternated between the boardwalk, beach and street level, while barefoot. I did [...]

July 20, 2010

I am happy to say that I have not missed my daily goal of walking for at least thirty minutes each day.  WOOT! I’m already addicted, seriously, I look forward to my daily walk and the time i gives me to reflect, meditate and breathe.  It’s nice to have something finite that you can measure [...]
