Tolwyn’s Roland D-50 Synthesizer For Sale
I got this keyboard in 1987. It is in like-new condition and in all my research on eBay, Sweetwater, and elsewhere (considering the condition it's in) it is worth it's weight in gold (well, you know).
Read about the Roland D-50 on Wikipedia.
It's been used in a smoke-free recording studio (and also the keyboard used in the recording of Pointed Sticks: All Quiet on the Western Front.
No spills, no crashes, no tips, well-cleaned, all faders work fine, and this includes 4 "Memory" cards (3 factory and 1 3rd party).
For the past 10 years, it's been covered and used as a triggered sound module. Includes cables, manual, memory expansion cards, HARD case, and "Cover your Axe" cover.
$800 shipped to anywhere in the United States.
This price includes the much soft-after ROM cards (4 included), hard-case, etc.
Tell Me about your Adventure, Klem…
Ok, maybe a little too much of a play on words. Mark Klem and I along with some very talented friends have completed the first two songs of a small "starter project" that will hopefully lead to some more content.
Tell Me was the first song that we worked on which Mark had lying around.

The second one is Adventure, which is still in production. This version is the "B-Side" synth version that I was just having some fun with. The guitars you hear on this version are done by my good friend from College Mike Ruscio.

Love, of All Things
It's not like me to post something so personal. Maybe I'm just getting older, or my own life experiences are equating to me thinking about such things more often. But I was thinking about how to articulate love into a metaphor that could be universally understood. Here's what I came up with. Read all about it after the jump (click the title).
Reduce Heat and Simmer
Still got the proverbial (music) "bun in the oven" happening at Studio Tolwyn. I'm currently on vacation and although I've received word that the drum tracks have been baked and are awaiting transfer to my FTP. So, hopefully (perhaps) as early as Monday all will be ready for the guitar stuff (if our guitarist is available).
Tolwyn and Klem at it Again
Back in another life, I used to write music for video games. I got involved in doing so by listening to Mark Klem's great stuff for Doom II's Momento Mori. Lately, Mark and I have been conversing on Facebook and recently, I've started to rework some of Mark's original songs. These aren't for video games, kids, but actual real songs, the kind you might hear on a radio, at a college radio station, or maybe just when you're trying to impress family members.
I don't have anything really to share with you right now, but hopefully soon, if we can get JD Herrera to lay down some additional guitar work, and we can nail down the arrangement and the mix (right now it's more in "demo tape" status).
Keep coming back to this site, as you don't want to miss anything!
New Song Update
Just wanted to post a note that there are some new songs that I've done over the past 6 months or so. I think there needs to be more people hit by buses, but I'm just saying.
Hopefully you all enjoy!
Backing off of Facebook
Although I know I don't spend an inordinate amount of time on Facebook, I've realized that it just isn't for me. Maybe it isn't for anyone around my age. I've had this site for over 16 years, and I know I've been neglecting it long enough. Facebook is great for High School reunions, maybe finding that buddy of yours you grew up with, but using it as a blogging platform is sketchy at best.
As my friend Colin Cowherd says, "I try to avoid sketch." My music and thoughts should be centralized to one platform, and that platform has always been this site.
Life Gave Me Lemonade…
Chris Rice is one of my favorite artists. Lemonade is one of my favorite songs that he's done, and I had an opportunity to sing this song. This is the result. I hope you enjoy.

Fireflies
I wanted to give my best shot at singing this song. I enjoy Owl City, but his over-use of pitch correction kinda grates on me. So, here it is with all my own imperfections!

Flattery Times One Hundred
JD Herrera, a young man from Italy, has been covering some songs from Memento Mori II from Doom2. One of them is And Blood Will Spill by yours truly. I did this back in 1997. It's humbling and exciting to hear someone else do your music.
Perhaps a Coffee?
Help me to defray the costs of hosting this site and the bandwidth involved in the posting of new music!
