 | 05Ric "Dust"solo Crimson Guitar, Prism Orpheus, Guitar Rig 3 05Ric - "Dust" ...Adrian Belew & Smarties Contest Category: Music In December Adrian Belew ran a contest, Adrian Belew's "Smarties" Contest in which he invited people to complete "unfinished songs" by adding their own melody or words. Well I decided to take it a step further and had originally wanted to turn it into a double trio song (a la King Crimson) where I would play the part of the second trio. After working a week or so on trying to get a second drum part that would work, I partially abandoned the idea but kept my guitar, stick/bass and guitar solo parts. For the drums I kept only the solo and outro. If you listen to the song you'll hear Adrian, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, and Bill Bruford on the left side and my additions on the right with vocals in the middle. I used my Crimson Guitars Extended Range Bass, Prism Sound Orpheus, and Guitar Rig 3. The rest of the song can be heard on my myspace page: www.myspace.com/05ric or here: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=185739813&blogID=365970938 http://on05ric.blogspot.com/ |
 | Frank Zappa interview + Get a little + Orange County Frank Zappa interview + I'm so happy I could cry, early version of "Take your clothes off when you dance" (thanks for the correction StereoM)+ Get a little + Orange County Lumber Truck + oh no, lumpy gravy version (the songs/tunes are not in that order) well, i hope this video doesn't get taken off by the Zappa Family Trust, or should I say Gail? Frank Zappa ~ "I resent encroachment on the 1st amendment because I'm a constitution fundamentalist" the 2 main tracks are from Weasels Ripped My Flesh, released in 1970 Frank Zappa -- lead guitar, vocals Jimmy Carl Black -- drums Ray Collins -- vocals Roy Estrada -- bass, vocals Bunk Gardner -- tenor sax Lowell George -- rhythm guitar, vocals Don "Sugarcane" Harris -- vocals, electric violin Don Preston -- organ, electronic effects Buzz Gardner -- trumpet and flugel horn Motorhead Sherwood -- baritone saxophone, snorks Art Tripp -- drums Ian Underwood -- alto saxophone "Frank Zappa's genius was so incredibly huge - most people were unable to fully understand it. Fortunately for us, Adrian Belew was privy to it...." Sofa once said - """I find it less stressful - and therefor healthier - to appreciate what's out there, rather than complain about what "could be" out there. Frank gave us such a prodigeous body of work, after 30 years of listening I still can wrap my mind around it; something new gets discovered with every listen. There are not too many artists that have that kind of effect on me. Whining and carping about Gail and the ZFT, and what is "owed" FZ's fans, just doesn't make sense to me. I don't feel that Gail or the ZFT "owe" me anything for my 30 years of support. Considering I still get off on stuff that I purchased eons ago, I figure I owe them. I certainly have had countless hours, days, weeks, years of pleasure listening to Frank's music - more enjoyment than I could ever get anywhere else for the investment I made. So I make it a point NOT to expect anything in the form of new (or unreleased) music from the Vault. When something does get released, like OZ, or Halloween, it's like Christmas; it's a gift. How can you possibly be disappointed with a gift? (Okay, so there's that tie from Aunt Maude that has sat in the back of your closet for 18 years, but hey - it's still in the closet!) Disappointment occurs when expectations are not met. If you don't "expect" anything, you're rarely disappointed...""" |
