Hi,

I'm new here so I thought I'd post some of my tunes. It's experimental stuff - hope you like it!

That was very original sounding. I enjoyed the string scraping at the beginning.

I really dug every song on there

but I hate spiders, so I couldn't own a record with a spider on the cover

seriously every song I listened to rocked like a hurricane

it was like if Sabbath had an instrumental (instrumetal) record

Thank Wiz!

TheWizard - as in Sabbath's first album? I used to 'jam' to that when I was five - haha, My older sisters allways put it on during thunderstorms with the lights off - freaked me out! We had a crappy old classic guitar that I would fiddle about on and 'jam' to it.

Neat stuff. Listened to several tunes. Thoroughly enjoyed it....and always enjoy odd meters and harmonized lines. You're certainly a creative guy. :)

Thanks CW14.

PS. You like insects dont you


There is symbolism in the spider's eight legs. I often use the symetrical scale in my music (it's a big part of my sound.) The symetrical scale consists of eight notes.

Robert, Robert Spriggs, this music is sexual HEALING!!! Keep up the good work, man!

WOW!!! Tarantula is AMAZING! You're playing there really reminds me of Larry Lalande of Primus. Got a tab for that one? I'd really like to study up on that style.
I want the bomb
I want the P-funk!

My band is better than yours...
