The Bruinenberg Technique

Online pal Fred reckoned that yesterday’s sketch required some slide guitar, but my glass slide only ever sounded any good when I used it with the Epiphone Black Beauty I sold a few years back, so instead I used a patch on my VG-99 that sounded a little ethereal like a slide guitar. Then I named the song in Fred’s honour as he helped me finish the tune.

Not sure where this sketch is going. The bass is doing all the work with the delay guitar providing an interesting rhythmic counterpoint but it lacks definition. I could exist “as is” but personally I think it needs a little more spice.

High Tech

Sucking High-Def video via Firewire onto my PC before I sell my HDV video camera is a soul-destroying, yet necessary process…

Break ‘Em

Twenty minutes of music are now available for the new album. That means I am halfway there… (Possibly title for next compilation – “I’ll Only Stop When You Break My Fingers”)

Here Comes the Future (Again)

We have the date on which Junior might arrive via c-section…
