Music by Accident contributions/credits to Fuse the Sky:

.3 (In Absentia) credits:  Lane Collinson (e-guitar, slide guitar), Jim Panek (bass, acoustic guitar, vocs), Kirk Forsland (keys), Randy Hiatt (e-drums, keys, vocs, engineering/production).We may not play everything right but we have fun doing it.  We intend to add more vocs ...and a full orchestra (if you happen to see any laying about).

Even Less (Stupid Dream) credits:  Mike Rose (vocs), Lane Collinson (e-guitar, slide guitar), Jim Panek (bass), Kirk Forsland (keys), Randy Hiatt (e-drums, keys, engineering/production). We tried to be faithful to the original but we couldn't stop the jam that ensued.  Recorded over 2 years ago this cut could use a remix.... and will.

Signify (Signify) credits: Lane Collinson (e-guitar), Jim Panek (bass), Kirk Forsland (keys), Randy Hiatt (e-drums, keys, engineering/production).This was the song that hooked us line and sinker, we just had to do it.  Also recorded years ago it needs that remix.

A directory for the various projects, follow the links below for more detail.
All band and/or project names subject to change without much thought.
 

·  We now have our Kevin Gilbert cover City of the Sun (from the Shaming of the True CD) hosted on his official web page.  If you haven't discovered this guy's tonnage of work I suggest you try right now.  ...he was the guy (with his band Giraffe) who did the entire Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Genesis) live at Progfest 94.....  enough said.

Music by Accident enlisted the help of Pat Stone (guitar, vocs, midi) and Mike Rose (vocs) for this huge undertaking of a song.  Look for this banner on the official Kevin Gilbert web site to hear our version.

·  Our tribute CDR of Camel cover tunes (not Peter Frampton's Camel) is comming along.  We have forgotten many Camel tunes through the years, will now put a few back together and even digitize a few old tapes, I even found some players via the web who are contributing.  (I'd like to see more of that).

·  Rod from the band LightSpeed (www.lightspeed-rocks.net/rod.html) and I are teaming up on his solo project, with a cast of very talented prog types.

·  Cath (London based vocalist) and I are joining forces (with possible other web folks) for some Kate Bush covers (James and the Cold Gun is 1st).

·  A Greatest Hits collection of the Friday Night Guys (from the 4 track and digital years) is a mining project of huge proportions, but will be a must have, some of our bravest jams are in there.

·  Mark Morgan has some tunes up his sleeve (maybe some James Gang and Wishbone Ash...originals).  Tracks are starting to be laid.

·  Music by Accident will release another collection of improvised jams (with over dubs) from the past year, and we better hurry before it's a 4 cd set!  We keep recording and seldom finishing.
We currently are selecting songs from over 180 near complete cuts.  Contact me if you want on the waiting list.  rhiatt@verizon.net

So Jazz
A web station for jazz stuff
"It is no accident when the creative juices flow. Amazing sounds from guys who say they composeon the fly!"

Seattle Espresso
Internet station dedicated to Seattle and all Pacific Northwest artists.
"To understand this band is to take their name seriously...Music By Accident is exactly that - trained musicians freaking out in the studio and releasing it for all of us to take part in. This song here is my favorite because gets your ass shaking! It's a tad long and simple, but ultimately works because it gets subconscience after a few minutes. Rating 3/5"

Kickin' Logic
Logic Audio Producers Showcase
"Layered acoustic or singing guitars creating textures like a taste in your mouth. Close your eyes and go wherever it feels good to be."

Chalkheads - XTC Fans Unhinged
Songs BY and FOR fans of Swindon's XTC!
"This is Chalkhiller Randy Hiatt's gathering of like-minded musicians.  Chill before serving."
For Chalkhills digests click here

Instant Everything
For fans of Kevin Gilbert and list members of Joytown.
"Joytowner Randy Hiatt is the performer of this great tune, which is a dreamy, moody instrumental. Intriguing guitar soundscapes and melodic approach. Worth a listen!"
Find Joytown digests here

The Weirdos are Calling
Are you Listening?
"I love this kinda stuff."

Jacks Picks
Listed below are some of my favorite tunes from some of my favorite acts at MP3.com.
"My old pal from Joytown makes an appearance here! Two reasons, really - 1st, JT is now a ghost town; 2nd this is a post JT creation; 3rd and MOST IMPORTANT - Wow, this is a cool song. Nice work, Randy! Check out his other stuff too, including the bits with TwoSheds - I'm humbled I am."

Music On Tap
A musical collection featuring players of Tap Style instruments.
"Very cool guitar/Chapman Stick harmonic interplay on this one.  Jason Doggett's ringing chorused Stick sound balances nicely with Joe Funk's guitar textures.  If Kit Watkins played Stick it might sound like this."

Conception Station
I created this station for music created in a freeform or jam mode.  Bands from all over the world are emailing me to be added to the playlist, most are excellent and some are world class (Adrian Belew, Steve Hacket, Trey Gunn...).  As is the current mp3 policy the song list has been drastically shortened (unless you pay $), so untill they change this policy it will remain limited.

Older Projects making their way from tape to CDR
 
 

Below is an illustration I found in the Edmonds museum of the old chicken farm we once played and recorded in.
Most of our friends even lived in the various buildings left standing there.  We called it "the Tower".

 
 

       

"The Tower" as we fondly referred to it, was our own little grange hall, ...now actually being preserved as a historic site.
Many years of playing/recording/gigging took place here.  It truly is historic,
...however I bet our chapter gets left out of the history books.  The Tower rocked.

We've had a good time playing together over the decades.  I'm always looking for photos or tapes from those times
...so check those shoe box's in the storage unit and contact me if you find something to share.

The old Gang were (and still are)...

Kirt Bujack and Pat Stone (1980)
Long time tennants and members of the Gang

Fred White

Dave, Mark Morgan, Kirt

Dave Taylor

Kelly Marsh

Randy Hiatt (1982)
I still have that 1971 (my tribute to Jim Fox) Rogers drum set.

We always loved toys.

The "Big Jam"
...from 1983 has made it from 2trk tape to CDR
featuring:

Scott Lindenmuth (guitar)
Mark Morgan (guitar)
Randy Jacobson (bass)
Dave Taylor (bass)
Pat Stone (guitar)
Brad Hill (bass)
Fred White (keys)
Kirt Bujack (keys)
Mark Thomas (drums/percush)
Randy Hiatt (drums/percush/production)

It was a big jam.  If you haven't received your copy get ahold of me.

Dave, Kelly, Kirt (1983)

Digging through these tape archives I have digitized a few tunes with some of the Tower Gang...Kirt Bujack (keys), Kelly Marsh (keys), Dave Taylor (bass), Ron McCann (guitar), me (drums).  Though a bit rough (1st practice) it was the only tape I have of this combination of guys.  Ron's guitar work is hot, check our on-line mp3 sites for "Cities" and "Prog March".  Other CD's of this era will follow as time allows.
