Tom Moore Music

NOSCRU© MUSIC

Tom Moore has been playing music for a long time. He plays mostly electric bass guitar but also dabbles in regular 6 string guitar, steel guitar, keyboards and euphonium. He also likes to create and modify music with software such as Cubase, Sound Forge, Acid, Band In A Box and lots of goodies. An electronics nut, Tom likes to experiment and build new hard and software gizmos for music.

On this page you'll find examples of stuff streamed to you as long as you have Flash installed (most people do). Click the bass guitar symbol, select a tune and check it out. You'll find examples of metal, hard rock, softer rock, major electronica, ambient, jazz and even classical. Many of these recordings are really not up to the quality standard Tom would like for you to hear as many were captured "on the fly"and at rehearsals and in many cases do not represent the best the individuals involved could produce. Still, they are what they are and hopefully you'll be somewhat entertained by at least a few of these recordings. To the players captured not at their best (including me), c'est leve'.

Tom plays: 4 and 5 string bass guitars, Korg Triton Extreme, Gibson pedal steel, Fender guitar This material is some stuff I had .wav files for on my sequencing computer on June 30, 2009. These are fragments of things, works in progress, background pads for use in other works and jams with a few people in the Eddie Currents Studios. There is a demo tune here I did for a country singer. Who knows what you might un-earth? One of the drummers on here not named Steve robbed my home. I had lots of material I'd worked on with him however most of those songs will not be found on Eddie Currents.

Tom plays: Hand-made custom 4 string bass guitar These live (The Curtis Perterson Auditorium) MTV (clever) tracks were recorded on a 4 track cassette machine by John Monroe under horrendous conditions with attempted re-mix by Tom Moore using Cubase and mastered with Sound Forge. Sorry Dave, I know the drums suck - a lot. To go back in time ... you should have heard this guy play folks! Strangely, one of the easier to work with drummers I've ever played with - he MADE me want to play.

Tom plays: Hand-made custom 4 string bass guitar Mi-kan-iks was recorded live on very a super cheesy Sankyo cassette machine using dirt cheap microphones duct-taped up onto the low ceiling, re-touched with Sound Forge. The spirit was there but the flesh not willing as Jody was as fried that Halloween night with a full moon as I've ever seen a human being - and yet he played in awesome fashion. The best set we ever played was erased and recorded over that same night - to conserve tape. I still recall the resultant snappy retort: "Dummy!" Plenty of bass errors as these guys were together years and I was new but good songs, hooks and lyrics. Jody was very talented. Some are smart - some are intelligent.

Tom plays: Hand-made custom 4 string bass guitar 1st band Tom played with after moving to Florida from Ann Arbor, MI. There WERE some pretty good recordings of this band that somehow Booger managed to purloin. All of the decent recordings of this band are "missing" or he will not release them and so these cassette recorded songs from a show at the Old Time Bar are the only material Tom has. Re-touched in Sound Forge. The material heard here are the last four songs of a long night - this band was HOT though kind of hard to tell this late. Also are included 2 priceless recordings of Booger, myself and a drummer I think named "Chris" (his girlfriend was HOT) jamming for the first time in a haunted house. Scary funky and metallic, Booger was out of his element but tasty non the less. Just jamming bass.

Tom plays: Hand-made custom 4 string bass guitar This two song set was actually from an actual vinyl record put together by Mike Zipprich (Zip) called "Reindeer Blues". The blues version of RB is all Mike. The "B" side was called "Steppin' Out" and was used as the AM wakeup music on Citrus 95 for many years. Re-touched in Sound Forge. Recorded at Mirror Image Studios, the mix sucks because there wasn't one. The simple fact is that Mike got ripped off. Too bad as these were really fun and done with a very good cause at heart.

Tom plays: Custom Fender Jazz 4 string bass guitar This group was assembled to play a Leonard Skynrd tribute concert near Jacksonville at LS's home base and for family of it's members. All of these Christian songs were penned by Mitch. The recording was done at an early rehearsal on Mitch's Boss 8 track and Forged. Tom was new, not to Chrisianity but simply not an "expert" Skynrd player and did not know the songs at this point so things are pretty rough indeed - still, good songs. Playing Skynrd songs to their families, especially the bass player's family mixed together with original Christian stuff - a but like being someone that never played any Rush tunes trying to do so live with just a couple of days notice in front of Geddy's family. Argh.	ARCHANGEL I Mitch Simmons- Guitar, Vocals Freddie Rodriguez - Guitar John Fnkydodl - Drums Tom Moore - Bass Original Christian Rock
Tom plays: Custom Fender Jazz 4 string bass guitar This was a second attempt at ArchAngel as a trio after Mitch disbanded the first group. Steve Ward was the original bass player in ArchAngel, whom Tom somehow replaced. Steve moved to drums and did a truly outstanding job on the instrument. Most recordings were made on an Akai digital box or Sony MiniDisc and Forged. Rehearsal stuff and some live tunes from actual shows.	ARCHANGEL II Freddie Rodriguez - Guitar Steve Ward- Drums/Vocals Tom Moore - Bass Custom Cover Christian Rock
Tom plays: Hand-made custom 4 string bass guitar Perhaps the second Florida band Tom played in, this set includes a couple of rough originals as they were being learned (good songs) and a cover or two. BAD recordings made exclusively on "Alcon Low Noise", the ONLY brand of tape approved by Larry! Touched by Forge, but nothing can help much. Rehearsal material, learning songs and lots of dings and scrapes.	THE CAPS Larry Allen (Hub) - Guitar/Vocals Jerry McAvoy (Knee) - Drums Tom Moore (Handi) - Bass Original & Cover Rock
Tom plays: Custom Fender Jazz 4 string bass guitar Tom was the original bass player in this blues band assembled and led by Keith Caton, "The Accelerators". Sadly, this was a bad time for Tom following the death of his fiance and the poisoning of his Mother by her new husband. There is much internal conflict between bass and drums that you can easily hear. Still, a good group with a good idea. A rehearsal tune and a live cut from a show at Rainbow Springs are here. Forged. Keith is truly a student of the blues and a stalwart practitioner. When found, more to come.

Tom plays: Fender Precision 4 string "RAG" bass guitar Recorded in Ann Arbor, MI, Tom jamming with an old friend and an excellent guitar player, my roomate, Tom Fezzey. Recording is not so great but the players were. The sax is a bit shrieky and out of tune causing some turmoil.	STIFF SOX Tom Fezzey - Guitar Tom Sherer - Drums Tom Moore - Bass Jam Rock
Tom plays: Custom Fender Jazz 4 string bass guitar Best friends at the last jam in an apartment just prior to moving to Florida. Two more musicians stopped by on moving day and jammed as well, Bud (guitar) and Harvy (sax). Great fun, loose, lotsa mistakes, way too much Ganja. Recorded on Fez's Nakamichi portable cassette machine and Forged. Awful bass!! Included to hear Fez and Tom Scherer - tasty.	JAMOLA Jim - Guitar Harvy - Sax Tom Sherer - Drums Tom Moore - Bass Jam Funk
Tom plays: Fender Musicmaster guitar, Korg Pandora box Tom plays guitar with Steve playing bass. Mutant boogie.	STEVE & TOM Tom Moore - Guitar Steve Ward - Bass Jam Rock
Tom plays: Custom Fender Jazz 4 string bass guitar This tune features some incredible sax by Dave O'Rourke who passed away a while back. An incredibly gifted musician I'll miss very much. Gil still plays in the area. This song is Harlem Nocturne and made more famous as the Mike Hammer theme music. Recorded on MiniDisk and Forged.

Tom codes: Acid software, Sound Forged These tunes are classically flavored and are powered by Acid audio loops/samples. What a great program Acid is. Tom is classically trained and so these songs were fairly easy to produce. Listen to Scape Goat, Basic Betty or Marginal Propensity.	ACID MUSIC Tom Moore - Composer Classical
Tom codes: Acid software, Sound Forged These tunes are sort of new-agey for lack of better terms. Powered by Acid audio loops and samples, these tunes are pretty spacey to just plain weird.	ACID MUSIC Tom Moore - Composer New Age
Tom plays/codes: Acid software, Sound Forged, Custom Fender Jazz 4 string bass guitar Composed in Acid, Tom added bass lines manually as tracks and re-recorded. Using Acid audio loops and samples, these are OK rockish pieces with live bass added.	ACID MUSIC Tom Moore - Composer Rock
Tom plays/codes: Acid software, Band IN A Box, Sound Forge, Cubase, Custom Fender Jazz 4 string bass guitar, Fender Musicmaster guitar, Korg module, MIDI Here is a mess of original stuff put together by Tom using above tools and instruments. Various "Big Asphalt Hump" CD incarnations. Some Acid repeats.	BIG ASPHALT HUMP Tom Moore - Composer Rock
