music – no surprises

The second part to a recorded, lazy practice session. My stripped down cover of ‘no surprises’.

music – washing of the water

omie — Tue, 04 May 2010 22:30:49 +0000

Decided to record a couple of songs I was having a really mellow (lazy) practice with. Set the iphone up on the guitar, and hit record. Second song that I recorded in the same session will be posted later.

music – War Wounds

An original short song I’ve been playing with. This is a rough preview of it, recorded off of my iphone.

music – some randomness and works in progress

omie — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:40:22 +0000

Just a post with quite a few snippets and previews I’ve been working on. All recorded on my iphone, during practice sessions. Some are short samples, or songs made for fun. Mold and Moss is an original song I wrote for a friend. The snippet of Every Rose has its Thorn, was made as a joke, to get back at my buddy Jackal. I can’t stay serious when I play it.

music – kick chuck

You all should know by now, that boredom usually causes me to make some of my most warped work (i.e. the ‘paste my face’ project in ‘images-other’). This quick song was the mutant offspring of that kind of creativity. Recorded on my iphone, while it was sitting on the guitar, and attempting to sound like that James Blunt guy; I once kicked Chuck Norris…in the crotch.

music – sulk cover

omie — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:34:59 +0000

Another practice session, from 2007. This is a cover of Radiohead’s ‘Sulk’.

This was done while still down in Lompoc. I didn’t quite have my good recording gear, so I was mic’d up funny. The audio isn’t what I’d like, so I’m sure I’ll eventually update this. You’ll see a lot of radiohead covers from me, because I loved the album the Bends. It was my first purchased CD, and I wore it out.

music – with or without you cover

omie — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:27:29 +0000

Practice session recording, from 2007. This is a cover of U2’s ‘With or without you’.

This was done in the converted jam room, next to the Digital Space office, when I lived in Lompoc. It was one of the last recordings I made down there. Audio isn’t the best–this was done prior to getting my better recording gear. Playing a fender strat. As with most of the songs I played, I missed having my jam buddies backing me up on this one; Gb and Steve. Miss you guys!

music – dreaming my dreams cover

omie — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:19:05 +0000

Another practice session from 2007. This is a cover of the Cranberries’ ‘Dreaming my dreams’.

One take, done around 2am. This is an old favorite song of mine, and I loved the album it came off of. I listened to it quite a bit, when I was younger. Playing on the ovation, acoustic/electric.

music – fake plastic trees cover

omie — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:08:18 +0000

Another practice session recording, from 2007. Radiohead’s ‘Fake plastic trees’.

Same as the others: one take guitar and vocals, mistakes and all

music – high and dry cover

omie — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:41:42 +0000

One of my older covers of Radiohead’s ‘High and Dry’, done in 2007.

I was just getting over being sick, and wanted to record a practice session. This is one take of guitar and vocals, with an extra track for the lead bit, in the middle of the song.

I will most likely be doing a more updated version of this song, because I’ve started playing it a bit differently.
