1809.2If my stuff makes it on...DNEAST::BOTTOM_DAVIDNice computers don't go downThu May 03 1990 09:1940
Dave Bottom/LA East Rhythm and Blues Band

These two pieces come from what's probably our last session. Both were recorded
on a Tascam 38 through a Tascam 320 board, using an ART proverb for effects, a
yamaha (I forget the model) compressor limiter and a bunch of mikes, none of
which were among the best money can buy.

Don't shut the door: Written by Doug Brosuis and Ross Timberlake

The song is a sort of tribute to Paul Butterfield written after his death.

Doug Brosuis: Vocals  and harp
Steve Brooks: Bass
Ray "the count" Corliss: Drums
Steve Ives: Guitar (second solo and fills)
Dave Bottom: Guitar (first solo)

Break Down and Cry: Written by Dave Bottom

I dunno who this is really for...it just came out one night.

Doug Brosuis: harp
Steve Brooks: Bass
Ray "the count" Corliss: Drums
Steve Ives: Guitar (first solo and fills)
Dave Bottom: Vocals, Guitar (second solo)
The players:


The gear:

Doug: the 'ole blues harp, shure green bullet and super reverb
Steve Brooks: Musicman bass direct into the board	
Ray: cheapo drums
Steve Ives: Vintage gibson explorer through a Semour Duncan 100w Convertible
	    ART proverb for effects
Dave Bottom: Rivera TRB-1M, Alesis Quadraverb 
	fender strat w/hot Duncan stacks (on Don't shut the door)
	fender lead 1 w/jeff beck humbucker and two hot stacks on breakdown
    
1809.3AQUA::ROSTBad imitation of Jerry JemmottThu May 03 1990 10:0127
    I personally think it would be easier if the liner notes were more
    organized, but in case that doesn't happen, here goes (and if it does,
    I'll just delete this):
    
    						Brian Rost

Notes:

    Got my first electric guitar in 1981 (had been playing bass a few
    years).   Both these pieces were done in my living room back in 1982
    (except for the vocal which was done just for this submission). Shortly
    thereafter I  abandoned all hopes of ever being any good on the guitar 
    8^)  8^)  Hope you find these as ridiculous as I did when I went back
    to listen to them!

    "Nothing But Time"

    This once had (bad) lyrics, mercifully erased. Added new (worse) lyrics
    and vocals for submission. Check out Neil Young and Lou Reed
    influences.

    "Parallel"

    This was my first experiment with recording harmony guitar lines. 
    Originally was to have lyrics, but I always sing last, and the guitar
    parts were so busy there was no space.  Note obligatory synth pad and
    tasteless punk lead break at the end.
1809.4Buckley Project Liner NotesICS::BUCKLEYSee ya!Thu May 03 1990 10:1048
    William J. Buckley, the guitarist (NOT the movie!)
    
    Reminiscence of Rio:  Written by Bill Buckley
    
    The two pieces come from a wide retrospect of my 'career' (Hahahaha).
    This song is when I was a "jazz head" (actually, a metal head imitating
    a jazz head) at Berzerklee.  I was (trying to) listening to a lot of 
    George Benson and Robbin Ford at the time, hence the influence!!! I
    still was sneaking in WAY too much Yngwie for my own damn good though!
    ;^)
    
    The first one was (obviously) recorded and produced at Berzerklee by
    moi (I was a engineer/producer major) on 24 tracks.  I forget what kind
    of board was used, but I recorded the guitar (Strat thru a boogie) with
    an SM57 (the lead guitar is quadruple tracked!!), the keyboards went
    direct, as did the bass guitar (a Musicman).  Sax was double tracked,
    once with an RE20, and the other with a U47.  For drums I used both an
    RE20 and a 421 on the kick drum, 421s on the toms, an SM57 on the
    snare, 461s in an X-Y pattern for the overheads, and an SM81 on the Hat.
    
    Bill Buckley:  Guitar & Bass
    Marty Richards:  Drums
    Toshi:  Keyboards
    David Wood:  Sax
    
    
    Fallen Angel:  Written by Bill Buckley and Steve Centerino
    
    This 2nd tune was also recorded and produced by moi, but on a friends
    home 4 track setup (Dana's stuff).  This sounds pretty damn good for 4
    tracks IMHO!  It kind of is an ode to George Lynch, and the main riff
    is reminiscent of Mr. Scary, but is in no means a total rip-off!! 
    It's your basic metal tune...double bass thunder, screaming fast guitar
    licks...the works.
    
    The guitar was an Ibanex RG550 in shocking pink thru a *HELLIFIED*
    Marshall 50WT Half-stack!!  This amp had gain and then some!  The bass
    was a Fender P-Bass (I don't own em, I just borrow em & play em!) going
    direct.  Synth was a Kurzweil thingie (I don't do synths & MIDI!). 
    Drums were simmons pads MIDI'd through some techno-MIDI sampling
    kurzweil keyboard crap so it was drawing HR-16 sounds from (I don't
    understand it all, really)...hey, it sounded good!  Cymbols were miced
    with SM81s.  Everything was compressed and gated with DBX units. 
    Verbs, Chorusing * Delays via Alesis.
    
    Bill Buckley:  Guitars, Bass, B. Vox, MIDIot
    Dana Ruzika:  Drums, Synths, Sampling and Synth Programming, B. Vox
    Steve Centerino: Vocals

Heh-heh-heh... This is fun.  I didn't have anything recent, so I submitted my 
first real recording experience, done on a Ross 4x4.  I guess we all engineered
it, but I think I did the final mix.  We used a whopping total of 2 mics, an 
SM58 and a PL88 EV.  I think we used a DDL here too, maybe a chorus pedal-real 
high tech. I played the stuff thru a GK250ML with a mic in front of it and
a BC Rich Mockingbird.  I also had a broken leg.  ;)

Anyhow, the name of the demo I got my cuts off is 
"2EZ - Raise The Stakes"

2EZ (was):

Jerry 'Scary' White - Guitar
me - Guitar, vox on 'Lil Teaser Bitch
Roger Talley - Bass, Vox
Steve Whitby - Percussion (and idiotic sounds of passion in 'Bitch)

The first tune I wrote about 4 years ago is called "'Lil Teaser Bitch".
Simple stuff...And I was excited about my delay.  It's about a snotty
babe thats really needs a spanking, if you get my drift. ;)
I was gonna rename this: "WishIhadarack"

The second songs lyrics were written by Stray Spreyberry (thats his REAL name 
too!), although I can take credit for a good portion of the guitar lix, as
can Scary.  I used to get all sappy playing the lead to this tune live.

Special thanks to Scary for pointing out the faults in this band,  ;)
and to Sinbad for crapping on the rug everytime Whitby hit the snare
drums.

More thanks to Anhauser Busch, Adolph Coors, Jose Quervo, Chiquita Bananas,
Mr Jack Daniels, Mr James Beam, Tipor Gore (you'll get yours, B*TCH !), George 
Lynch, Jamez Hetfield (for vocal inspiration), Winn Dixie Meat Dept, Fourex,
Crest (for sharing mics), Finance South (for the mixer) and last but not 
least, GHS Boomer strings and BC Rich guitars.

Famous lines during production:

"Whadaya mean you didn't push the record button ??"
"Is the red light on?"
"Holy sh*t the COPS ARE HERE !"
"...It's your neighbor at the door, Jeff..."
"Gawd, I'm glad Howie isn't doin' this!"
"Here's the key Scary, do yer thing..."

1809.8Rich Coccoli/Pariah EffectGLOWS::COCCOLIis everybody happy?Thu May 03 1990 23:0865
    
                
     (1)  "My Secret Life" by Paul Gierman and Rich Coccoli (Pariah Effect)
    
     Originally a study in the use of dissonance, it quickly became the
    funky groove thang that it is today. Paul's lyrics turned it into a
    sort of"mutant urban white boy" rap song. Where did the dissonance go?.
    It's in there somewhere. Paul on vocals. He usually does sax on this,
    But I had to do a solo on it for this tape. Did someone say ego?.
       
    
     (2) "Pariah" by Rich Coccoli and Paul Gierman (Pariah Effect)
    
     Our band anthem. Definately anti-conglomerate.
    Originally I submitted to Greg the band's version. A week later
    I wrote my own version. It's much more intense (the original is slow
    and dreamy). I wrote most of the lyrics and all of the music.
               
     (3) "Gerbil in my Pocket" by Rich Coccoli
    
      This started out as a threat in the original "Guitarnotes tape?"
    topic. I had to carry through. Turned out to be a fun tune, although
    I may get in trouble with the ASPCA. I've submitted it to a local college
    station and may get some airplay soon (or so they say). I won't hold
    my breath.
      I like the scratch guitar sound. Reminds of a cross between a strat
     and a garbage can cover. Also check out the "dolphin in heat" effect.
                                                       
       _________________________________________________________________
    
      Pariah Effect is a midi-backed two piece band composed of:  
    
     Paul Gierman: vocals,flute,sax,twelve-string psycho-acoustic guitar,
     various synths and percussion.

     The midiguitar was used to sequence *all* the instruments on
     this submission with the exception of most of the drums, which were 
     done on a $69 Yamahaha drum pad.
     Everything went through a Kawai 8 channel stereo mixer straight into
     a Teac Porta 01. All sequenced parts (drums, bass and synths) were
     recorded simultaneously to preserve *some* audio integrity and stereo
     placement. Track bouncing was only used for vocals and solos.
    
    Equipment: 
    
      Casio MG510 midiguitar           Effects:
      Roland D110 rackmount synth      Alesis Midiverb II
      Kawai K1r rackmount synth        Digitech MSP 
      Alesis MMT8 sequencer
      Yamaha midimerge
      Yamaha D10(#?) drum pads

1809.9Here's MineDECWIN::KMCDONOUGHSet Kids/NosickFri May 04 1990 18:3234

    My contribution is  Jeff Beck's "Goin Down" as performed **LIVE** by
    Deceptive Resolution at last summer's SummerJam.  Deceptive Resolution
    rehearsed twice and went on and played a 45-minute set.  It's not
    exactly a high-quality recording, but you'll get the idea. 8-)


    For players we had:  
      
       (me)  Kevin McDonough     I'm playing about 75% of the leads,
                                 including the opening fills and the
                                 solo.

             Bill Buckley        If it sounds mean and metallic, it's WJB.
                                 He's buried in the mix, but hey, this is
                                 MY submission!  Check out Bill's
                                 contribution on the tape to really
                                 hear HIM.

             Shawn Harrington    Wicked vocal

             Mike Santos         Wicked drums, and the only non-deccie
                                 in the band.

    Sent in 2 pieces:
    
    Sarabande - J.S. Bach. Slow movement from one of the Lute suites.
                           Believe this was originally in D-minor.
                           
    
    The Lady and the Unicorn - John Renbourn. Has been one of my favorite
                               pieces for a long time. 
                               Is sort of pseudo-rennaisance sounding,
                               rennaisance with minor 7ths, 9ths. He
                               originally played it on a steel string,
                               I feel more comfortable on the nylon.
    
    Both are solo guitar, recorded on my 4-track. Nothing fancy in the
    recording.
    
    Looking forward to this tape. Sounds like some good stuff!
