Started watching the Terminal List. 2 episodes in and I'm curious where its going. Decent enough I guess.

Just like a tape deck, the faster the tape/vinyl spins the more information it can hold. Think about it. Same 5 seconds of song use more tape or more groove, so there's the ability to hold more...

Oh My - a song story about YES, no doubt. Very catchy and original. I almost laughed out loud. But I guess that's the story with a lot of bands in this rather back street kind of music that we all...

I like it Clivey. Reminds me of something else but I can't place it, maybe Bowie inspired as was said above? So who's playing the sax?

As for my track, yeah it's definitely a different genre, but...

Just published this as part of a "vibe" contest. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for checking out our Springsteen song. Bruce and hot summer days just seem to go together.

Here's a little Springsteen for you.

So I have an Arturia Keylab 88 piano touch keyboard - and I love it. The natural feel of this under my fingers is as close to a real piano as I have found, and it integrates with my computer and DAW...

Yeah, someone needed to die in that car accident. It was almost disappointing that they all got up and walked away.

Oh no, they are doing another season? It certainly looked wrapped up at the end of last season. And that last season was freaking bizarre. Not very cohesive. I think I'm likely to just leave it there...

You guys might enjoy this song I released last month.

Such a different band on album vs. Live. Check out the live album if you want to really hear them at their best.

Lincoln Lawyer - 2 episodes in, so far so good for a storyline, except ... the lead actor isn't very "lead" if you know what I mean. He's also not doing a great job of faking an accent. He's a...

Nice sentiment for this national holiday Joe and great guitar work as usual. We celebrate those who served in the wars, but they suffer so much more than we can imagine with PTSD and memories of...

Thanks for listening. If you like this song then pick up David Benoit album "American Landscape". It's good stuff.

A little smooth jazz for you by David Benoit - or my version of it at least. The name translated to Sunshine Road, and we could all use a little sunshine in our day right now.
...

Thanks for all the kind words everyone and putting your ears onto my collaborations..

Here's another rocker from 1967 that we did. I just love how it starts off super simple before getting into...

Continuing on with Jack Reacher - Without Fail

Not enough music that uses Taurus bass pedals anymore!

I'm really proud of this one boys and girls. It may be the hardest piece of keyboard work I've done in some time. A real classic PROG epic.

Enjoy

I refoamed some car speakers in the past. Easy peasy if you find the right surrounds. I found an online kit with the foam surrounds and glue when I did mine.

I really love the sound quality and spacy texture of this. It all comes together and progresses in concept so well. Nice guitar arpeggios. The change in dynamics from one section to another is...

You guys might also like this funky rendition of a rock classic.

NFLX - no longer a growth story. After the last few days it is now a value play. The price earnings multiple on it is now only 18x. Trading action is showing some capitulation. Is this a bottom yet?...

Thanks for listening guys. This was supposed to be a guitar extravaganza, with just some organ touches in the background, but then I thought of the great Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer duets and said - -...

Happy Easter and Passover everyone.

Here's something super hot for y'all to enjoy.

The offer is likely limited to previous owners of their software, and likely pro-rated based on what you own and have spent in the past.

That was a Jupiter 8 from Arturia. They are having a big sale on the V series of synths, like 75% off the regular price, so I finally picked up the whole set and used that one for the strings and...

I was asked to play strings and orchestrate this beautiful song by Queen. Our singer is just incredible, but he had a different style in mind. This is the original track that we did and he wanted to...

Thanks Joe. Starless was a 12 minute monster. We tried doing the long one-note guitar solo and got bored, so we went and did our own thing, even quoting another old Crimson song in that section. Do...

Arturia is having a big sale. I've been waiting for this. Just picked up the entire V suite for $149.

KNOBS - LOTS OF KNOBS!

Ahh, I said Alesis VST's - I meant Arturia. Big mistake there. I had Alesis on the brain. The Arturia stuff I'm sure you know. It's very good.

Now I use my Ableton suite for a DAW and a bunch of VST's from Ableton and Alesis and Native Access and Spitfire and, etc. etc. I do like the Steven Slate drums and MT Power Drums when I want to find...

Gave a listen Alan. Definitely symphonic uber prog fun there. I also had a love hate relationship with Kawai. I had a Kawai K5 synth back in the day and loved the polyphony and workstation features...

HBO Max - 2 episodes into "Made For Love" - described as a dark comedy and futuristic tech exploration of embedding a chip into a woman's head and her running away but not getting very far. So far...

After listening to the sample tracks I have to say, yes, it looks like a fun knob turner, and if you want to explore it the price is easily swallowed. But I didn't hear anything I couldn't do already...

I like it Clivey. It's got some real hang time suspense there to keep it interesting.

I hear shades of Fish in there. I like when it starts kicking in at about 50 secs, but it should get bigger there and at 2:40 also. Kick it in and get that big dynamic crunchy guitar chord crescendo....

Thanks man. Bob Lord - yeah I've been doing a lot of organ work lately. Seems to be what others want on their tracks, especially blues numbers like this one that just got released.
...

Thanks Stugeon. Michelle sings on a lot of our songs and she is a true talent. As for the middle, we tried the expected solo and fell asleep. Yes, it plays well in concert but it's boring as hell to...

So here's two that are more in the "progressive" mindset. The first is an Allman Brothers cover that I'm sure most of you have played at one time or another. Yeah, the singing is a bit pitchy but he...

Thought some of you might enjoy this cover we did. Give a listen. There's a nice surprise in the "solo" section. Yeah, we changed it from the original because ... well, it plays well in concert but...

Here's a few articles to read to help with your choice.

Just started watching Reacher on Amazon. Though I'm a fan of the book series I'm a little skeptical about the TV version. The lead actor is definitely eye candy for the ladies, but the way he plays...

I'm not really a Radiohead fan but I was convinced to do this by my buddy who is singing. Enjoy.

Bought, downloaded and listening now. So far so damn good!

Here's something fans of the show "Succession" might enjoy. I had the earworm ... bad ... for the theme so I made this version to try and get it out of my head.

Enjoy.

Been binging the HBO show "Succession" lately and the musical score is a freaking earworm, so I had to do a version and try to shake it loose.

Is anyone here a fan of the HBO series "Succession"? Here's my version of the great musical score by Nicholas Britell.

We just finished season 2 of Succession on HBO Max. Ready to start season 3 on regular HBO now. I'm absolutely hooked and the theme song is an earworm in my head.

Based on recommendations here I recently purchased the following off Bandcamp, and couldn't be happier.

Caligonaut - Magnified As Giants
Evership - The Uncrowned King
JPL - Sapiens Chapitre 1...

Nice stuff Cheesy :-) Enjoyed listening to your tunes.

Have you found Bandlab yet? Come join me there (@ptmconsulting) and collaborate with some great artists if you so desire.

As a prog fan (yes, I'm speaking about all of you too) living outside of Europe I wish there were more concerts here in the US by those esoteric European bands. But I get it. It's costly to tour. Its...

Thanks for listening guys. I appreciate your ears and comments. I do have an announcement ... stay tuned ... I was just asked to play Mellotron on a version of Starless. Real, historic prog.

Here's two that just came out today. One on top of the other. First is a very cool original country song I played organ and piano on.
