Jaded Sea by Lee Thomson feat. Failed Muso

The beginnings of an online musical collaboration between myself and Lee Thomson. Lee wrote the song and I created an arrangement and backing track in Propellerheads Reason. I am working on being able to track Lee's vocals and guitar online so I can come up with a proper mix. Watch this space.

This is just my instrumental backing. Check out the two video's after this one for Lee's original video and her clip of her singing to this track. Remember, this is early days so quality is understandably basic.

Written by Lee Thomson
Arranged and performed by Rob Puricelli.

Down In The Park [cover] by Failed Muso

I had this down some while back, but was recently prompted to add the finishing touches, so here it is.

This is made entirely in Reason, mainly because of it's simplicity and the fact I love it's sequencer. It's VERY easy to get ideas down in Reason. I may at some later stage, add a vocal track and some added "Vox Humana". But for now, here is the track....

Ovi Player

Replicas [cover]

Blimey, I've got video diarrhoea !!

Ok, I programmed this a while back but thought I'd perform it "live", so everything you hear is programmed by my own fair hand and the lead line is played absolutely live by me. Trust me, with my obvious talent shortage, that takes some doing !! ;o)

The tune, albeit a brief version, is Replicas by Tubeway Army / Gary Numan. It's based more on the live version than the album version.

Everything is done on Reason. It's not the most exciting video in the world. Just me triggering various parts on Reason and then trying ever so hard not to fuck up the lead line !

Enjoy...
