New Video - Timeframe

This is one of my older songs, written and recorded as a solo guitar piece and released on my 1998 CD "Stories Without Words"(as Jim Graham).  This is the updated Dulcet Jones version which uses the original guitar track from that CD but has extra tracks featuring synth, bass guitar and persussion.  The video is another one of my "attach the video camera to a blade on the ceiling fan" creations and then distort it beyond recognition with video effects software.  I'm using Magix Movie Edit Pro and love it.  See the video at http://youtu.be/w_Nt_20M6mg

Electro Acoustic Lament

Here we have a song with no percussion or programmed tracks, I'm playing all instruments in real time.  The first guitar is my trusty Takemine classical that I recorded all of my solo guitar CD's with, although it's got some effects on it here.  The second guitar is a solid body electric, also with effects, and then I'm playing 3 synth tracks.  Even the wind at the intro is a synth.  All of the motion in the video was created by two things, one was that the video camera was attached to a blade of my ceiling fan, and the second was caused by a "Swirl" effect my video software has.  Nothing in the video is distinguishable because I applied several video distortion effects along with the swirl.  Psychedelic.  Here's a link to the video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaJs1bJeg5c

Overmed Daydream

I have spent some time learning how to use synthesizers and computers more efficiently, I think. Anyway, this track has me playing two synths and one very subtle guitar along with some MIDI tracks to create a very slow, hazy prog sort of song. Check it out here

New Song - "Surf Chill"

Finally got a new song recorded, a short one, but new.  It features electric guitar and bass, synth and light virtual percussion.  I don't know where the surf came from but I can almost hear it breaking on the beach when I listen to it so surf it is.  You can hear it at my Soundclick page Just Click Here and see the video Here

Visit my page at SoundCloud
where you can hear some of my experimental free downloads along with the other music. In other news, I haven't been posting any new music lately because I am playing a live solo guitar gig later this week and have put everything else on hold while I work on getting my repertoire back in shape. I haven't done a gig like this for almost two years, and unfortunately, it's a private banquet so I can't invite people or advertise the venue and all that. So, lets all keep the positive thoughts up and carry on!

New Song

I posted a new song, "Spaced Out Gypsy Trip" at my SoundClick page. This is a very strange soundscape melding elements of the latest tech-noise with some traditional gypsy styles. You can listen to it, and several of my other Dulcet Jones tracks at Dulcet Jones at Soundclick.

Urban Crawl

"Urban Crawl" has two real guitars and a down and dirty, dark back alley city feel, along with an almost out of control synth break in the middle. I actually wrote all of the parts on guitar but those dulcet clones took over again and the guitars got relegated to a supportive strumming role. You can listen to this song and more at SoundCloud
