This is something new I am starting called “Live at Tangled Wire Studios.” I hope to make this a continuing series, with the involvement of other musicians.

Here’s another song from my Music Vault. “Hollow Gold” was originally written in the 1980′s, during my “restless youth” phase.

This version of the song was originally recorded when I moved into my current Tangled Wire Studio digs in the basement of stately Marwood Manor. While it is a primitive recording, (done in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9). at the time I was happy to have this old song idea is a completed form.

I had a slight web issue – which made me lose some posts from the last couple months. Another song from Marwood’s music vault will be re-posted shortly.

Here’s something I did as a live recording in my studio.

I’ve put together a collection of some of my older more electric guitar orientated recordings. It’s my European Version of Marwood’s Music Vault. Click the photo for a link or visit my download page.

I’ve just uploaded a new song to my bandcamp page. “Keep Trying” is a recording I have been working on for the last two months. It’s a song I wrote after spending a lot of time listening to John Prine and Townes Van Zandt. I hope you enjoy it.

Here’s my first attempt at doing a video. The footage from the public domain title “Way Station in Space” available at the Internet Archive. Enjoy!

From time to time, I will dig through my music vault and post some older recordings.

The first edition of Marwood’s Music Vault features 2 versions of my song Electric Guitar Interlude. There’s about a 15 year gap between the 2 versions.

This recording dates back to 2004/2005. The production of this song started at the original Seattle location of “Tangled Wire Studios” and ended up being the 1st song I completed in my current digs (the basement of Marwood Manor.) This version features Jeff (I am sorry I don’t know his last name) on Drums and “crunch” rhythm guitar.

Now for a real blast from the past – here’s the original idea – Circa 1989.

This version is from the late 1980′s, was recorded in Kingston, PA and was the first “Completed” song done on my old Tascam Portastudio 4-track cassette recorder. The quality isn’t the greatest – The tape stock has degraded over the years – and the playing has some rough spots. At the time, however, I was was very happy to put something together. I owe a lot of thanks to my old friend Terry, who lent me an Yamaha Reverb box. (I am not sure of the model – but it might be a Yamaha Rex 50.)

I am still working on mixing my newest release. I hope to have it for you soon. I will also be releasing some older songs from the “vaults “of “Tangled Wire Studios.” More details to follow.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a song to download, my friend Drew Dundon just released a new song for free download.

Due to a New Year’s Computer virus, I am a little behind schedule in mixing a new song for the site. I hope to do that shortly. In the meantime, I spent my weekend building some new bass traps/sound panels.

Bass Trap and Wall Panel

Ceiling Cloud and Wall Panel

For building the bass traps and panels. I used these simple PDF plans I found on the web.

In the next week or so, I plan on doing some more recording and mixing, which means I should have some new material up shortly.
