It took me a while to find a home for all this material.
Here's 26 years of audio work with hopefully no end in sight.
Without additional hyperbole, here goes with some
of my KALX Berkeley
outtakes from 1980-1981
John Lennon Tribute, 12.1980
MP3
| Real Audio G2
We were all shocked when Lennon was murdered, but
what was truly repulsive is how others made money on his death. We were running
a Punk/New Wave/Reggae station at the time, but all the DJ's at the station
were right behind the 'Magical Tragedy Tour'!
I believe as much in that statement now as I did
when I made back then. BTW, this was ALL live!
How I Spent My Christmas Vacation Getting a Studio
Tan MP3
| Real Audio G2
Here's some studio fun back in December, 1980 with Uwe on the Sax.
642-KALX MP3
| Real Audio G2
This is a promo I did for our fund raising drive....February 1981
Columbo House Greatest Hits
MP3
| Real Audio G2
Here was a chance to have some fun with production. This was put together
in Spring, 1981
Last Dance at KALX
MP3
| Real Audio G2
An excerpt from my last show at KALX. Again, another ALL LIVE production
You will notice these creative spasms run in 10
year intervals. Here's the next installment.
Costa Rica MP3
| Real Audio G2
I bought a 4 Track Cassette Recorder when Paula and I moved back to Vienna
back in '89. After being 5-6 years in the "working world", I felt a very
strong need to at least try to do something creative. Utter perfection was
not my goal. Just the chance to be expressive was good enough for me, and
I don't think my perspective on things has changed too much :-)
Here is a selection of some of the songs I put together
around this time....1990-91
St. Tropes MP3
| Real Audio G2
, another harmless ditty
Sweden MP3
| Real Audio G2
: Actually, this song isn't too bad...just needs more edge.
Montego Bay MP3
| Real Audio G2
: This was my attempt to put a reggae song together back in '91 for a local
radio competition here in Vienna. With a REAL studio and REAL musicians,
this would sound ok. Hope you all get a laugh out of my vocals.
Biarritz MP3
| Real Audio G2
: Here's where Ramsay Lewis meets New Order
ChinaMP3
| Real Audio G2
: My oldest daughter's favorite song!!
Detroit MP3
| Real Audio G2
: Can't really tell you what this reminds me of. Any input would be welcome.
Eisenstadt MP3
| Real Audio G2
: Here's another one where I can't define where I stole it from.....more
'vocals' from me.
Italy MP3
| Real Audio G2
: You have to remember this was recorded when House was big....kinda funky
number.....'kinda' in a psuedo-rythmic sort of way
The last extension concerns a demo I put together
for a local station back in 2000. I tried to show that nothing in music has
changed in 30 years. We just tend to forget easily....that's all.
