Discography

Caji / De Bahia

{Brazilian}

Very cool CD and he is a really cool performer. I highly recommend checking out this recording if you like Caribbean music. Give a listen to “Segrados”.

Traveler / Pheonicia

{Gypsy Rock / Middle Eastern}

If you like your Gypsy with a little kick from the amplifier, you should check out this CD. It’s sure to get your modern Romani groove up and running.

David Macejka / Poi for Gadje

{Tribal Middle-Eastern / Belly dance}

This is an all percussion recording inspired by rhythms from the Middle East to North Africa and more. It was intended for use in tribal style belly dance routines as well as fire dance.

David Macejka / Sookh tan

{World Fusion / Sufi}

This is a recording of fusion Sufi music combining influences from India, Iran, and Turkey. In this recording you will hear Santur, Sarod, Saz, Ney, Violin and Vocal improvisations draped across a skeleton of varied-time Frame Drum ostinatos.

David Macejka / Hunto

{African Tribal Fusion}

This is a recording of African style drumming. The recording was intended for tribal dance routines as well as an offering of rhythms. There are 13 tracks with drumming influences spanning from North Africa to Haiti and more.

David Macejka / Gongs

{New Age / Tibetan}

This is a recording of 4 large gongs with deep rich voices struck in a continuous pattern. The recording is exactly one hour long and every 15 minutes one of the gongs drops out, slowly bringing the listener into silence.

Orange Aleister / It May Seem To You Strange

{Electric /Afro New Age}

This is an elecro-organic recording of free form and vodun (voodoo) style hand drumming. It was put through a vocoder (an electric effect that enhances the "voice" of an instrument, similar to what you hear on Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like I Do"), then mixed with some of Aleister Crowley's early wax recordings.

Tartanic / Unstoppable

{Scottish World Rock}

They fuse percussion from Africa to Arabia and New Orleans street parades to your favorite dance club mixes with the ancient Highland bagpipes. I also did a lot of producing on this CD. Check out “Sweet Dancer”.

Tartanic / UNCENSORED

{Scottish Punk Rock}

This is an authorized bootleg recording of one live, unedited performance at the 158th Annual Detroit Highland Games at Historic Greenmead in Livonia, Michigan on August 4th, 2007.

Tartanic / Unthinkable

{Scottish / Celtic / World}

This recording marries music from two of the most prominent folk traditions in Western Europe--Scotland and Brittany--and sets it to world drumming. While staying true to our roots in the Highland bagpipe tradition, with the inclusion of traditional competition sets, we add some progressive hits that'll have you dancing in your seats.

Shirae / Tiger’s Island

{Irish / Celtic}

This is a wonderful recording by 3 generations of women with beautiful voices. Primarily a mother daughter team with some help from the grandmother. It came out very nice and I play a little sitar as well as percussion.

Jocamo / You Know That It’s True

{Funk / R&B}

What can I say. Jocamo is hard hitting slow burning funk. In the vein of Parliament and The Neville Brothers, they bring home some fun party music. They are currently working on their next record. I am also on that and will put it here when it is done.

Raisinhead / Back to the Tracks

{Southern Rock / Groove}

This recording is their first and it was a lot of fun to play on. With kind of an Allman Brothers vibe, they leave a lot of room for groove and improv. Featuring ex-members of The Ominous Seapods, it’s the kind of jamming you would expect. I am also on some of their live recordings.

Rob Beaulieu / Evoking the Sun

{Singer Songwriter / Rock}

Rob is the leading force behind Raisinhead. His solo stuff explores more of his song writing. Some of it sounds like the Rolling Stones, and some is straight out of a Santeria shack in Miami.

The Wyld Men / Veggie Music

{Celtic Folk / Comedy Jug Band}

This was the first CD besides my own that I did full production on. If you are a vegetarian you will love it. The primary instruments are made of REAL vegetables, including the “Slide Potato”. It’s a lot of fun and we do some spoofing on mainstream genres. A must have.

E Muzeki / Sindh

{Gypsy / Middle-Eastern / Celtic / World}

They do it all in their own cool, folksy way. Bazouki and Violin are the staples but there’s a lot more on this CD, including a Gypsy version of Led Zeppelin’s Cashmere. Very cool CD...go get it.

Thomas Nuendel / Through Not From

{Singer Songwriter / Satirist}

“..if you have ever heard Thomas Nuendel scrape out the desires of flesh and spirit across the strings of his violin, you will undoubtedly want this recording”...that’s my quote and I’m sticking to it.

The Sterling Radio Showcase / Good Girls Don’t Wear Pink

{Radio Theatre}

As obtuse as it sounds, it’s what you get when you put a bunch of twisted actors and musicians in a hot theatre during a summer stock run. Check out Gary Izzo’s many voices. I am also on their earlier recording. Wacky.

Treaty

{Organic / Gothic / Industrial / Tribal}

This was a demo from a band that I played with in the mid 90’s. It had a very percussive live show utilizing mounted bass drums, Midi triggers and Midi programming. Banging on stove tops, metal mannequins, pipes, anything. It was a crazy show. The CD never came out, only the demo. I came across it recently and put it up here on my audio page.

Tartanic / Uncivilized

{Scottish World Rock}

This is Tartanic’s newest studio CD that explores fusing their Great Highland Bagpipe and World Drum sound with some Techno/Industrial and Hip-Hop elements as well as documenting the Tribal/ World Folk fusion sound that their shows are known for. Lurking with in is an unexpected Cat Stevens cover tune and some Avant Guard ambient pieces. A must have for any fan of Tartanic.

Tartanic / Unleashed

{Scottish World Rock}

This is a live recording of Tartanic performing at the Livonia St. Andrew’s Society Highland Games Concert in 2008. It has drumset, Tuppan, The Great Highland Pipes, Bodhran, Doumbek, Frame Drums and Bansuri. It is a high energy set of world/modern/celtic/tribal fusion rock.
