Just want to share a new track I recently completed. I sampled some different drum sounds from my music library to create these beats. I went from there and added the bass, guitar, and harmonica parts. I always thought that heavily syncopated drumming could make the harmonica sound a lot more interesting. So I have been experimenting with this and here's one example I came up with.

I would classify this as post modern industrial 2nd position blues harmonica music.

you can listen to it here: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8789173 The harmonica doesn't come in until about :27

ALSO! I would like to share a clip from a recent gig that was provided to me by a very kind gentleman named RyanMortos who was cool enough to not only come out but to record this snippet. So thank you Ryan!!! Its kind of like down-tempo jazz with also with a sampled beat.

This is a glimpse into some of the things I am experimenting with here in Eastern, PA. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Very Nice AJ. I really like that first track and the second one sounds very like something Buddha would do.
How did you get the harp to make that sound in the first track?

Very cool. There is a button that says download but it doesn't work. I wanted to steal a copy. :(

The sound of the harp AJ...you don't mean to say that it was played striaght through a mic? It sounds like there was an effect added.

I gothchya, I didn't know if you meant a specific sound that I played or what... I recorded it clean on to the computer and then added distortion, reverb, and flanger to it.
