Another Minimoog “harpsichord” composition that came out rather nice, considering it was composed in one afternoon.
Two analog synth sequencers “covalently bonded” (via midi) and living in perfect symbiosis with a BeatBuddy funk drum track and a Fender Strat drenched in an Oceans 12 dual reverb. Everything was recorded direct into a Behringer mixer.

Another instrumental song idea based on a sequenced Moog Spectravox and Moog Mavis with a bass lead provided by the Minimoog. I was testing the preset from the manual called, “Sawyer Bass.” Notice the Overload lamp coming on as the output signal is being routed back in via the External Input (it is internally wired that way when the Ext. Input rocker switch in on and there is nothing plugged into the Ext. Input jack. It is a form of overdrive distortion that folks discovered back in the day and Moog added the feature to the newer Model D’s.
A very chill piece, considering it has a Samba drum track. It features a Martin DC Aura on rhythm with a Moog Mavis analog synth providing an ethereal lead. A Rickenbacker 4003 provides the bass. Composed and recorded in one evening. Drums by BeatBuddy.
The title of this song comes from the fact that I used a tone on my Les Paul that was reminiscent of something between “American Woman” and “Outside Woman Blues.” Impromptu was added because, well, it isn’t a blues song and the leads were pretty much ad-lib.
A “feel good” instrumental with a driving bass line and several layers of Stratocaster, including a simulated vibraphone track. What’s not to like?
A Behringer Poly D sequencer controlling a Minimoog. The Poly D was playing the bass notes and the Minimoog was playing the higher notes. Les Paul with wah pedal provided the lead. Lots of delay effects by the EHX Oceans 12 Dual Reverb pedal as well as some echo provided by the Behringer mixer. Drums by BeatBuddy.
An all-EBow mix of my composition created on the first day of 2025. I discovered I had recorded 5 EBow tracks, so I decided to make a mix with nothing but EBow tracks (no strummed rhythm track on this one). You can hear the harmonies a little better in this version.
