The Captivity
This song was written to celebrate freedom, actually, (the Russian at the end is one of the dudes from Freesound.com saying "sound should be free!") after a decade when I wasn't. Props to Shreya, who... (more)

She's Someone's Daughter
That didn't stop her.
Main vocals/bleeps by Shreya, keys and backing vocals by me. Actually, my baby daughter was in my arms while I was doing those vocals and she started crying... (more)

Birds
This was the first song Shreya played me, and she said it came to her in a dream, and I believe it. It's flooring, and her vocals/acoustic guitar are relatively untouched. I added the other virtual instruments... (more)

Anselm
Shreya's composition, a tale of love and death that is also perhaps a sly reference to the most famous proponent of the ontological argument for you-know-who. This is the dreamy guitar version, and there is... (more)

Ningizzida
Just a fun track I made that I haven't quite figured out how to integrate Shreya's piece 'Hades' over the middle section. A bit jarring but I still like it.

I've Been Your Dog
Apparently Shreya was listening to a lot of blues when she wrote this. ORLY? Anyway, since she is a woman of mystery, she subverted the typical gender role of this dark, dirty blues dirge and then... (more)

Rubies Diamonds And Sapphires
The psychedelic kitchen sink. Shreya's understated vocals about mythological things, the sound of the aurora, a droning wine glass, understated guitar, a fretless bass solo... I had... (more)

Miss Lemonade
An acapella bit of Shreya's. She had recorded it to sound super high-pitched, and when I dropped it down a few octaves, was treated to a wonderful Bjork sound. At her request I threw some hip-hop beats... (more)

The Strange High House In The Mist
This is actually a combo of three pieces: Shreya's song "Cry of the Banshee", my song "Strange High House In The Mist", and some open mic poetry under the title "The Skull."(more)

City Of Stranglers
Earlier this year I was in a community choir, mostly senior citizens performing songs by bands like Soundgarden and Green Day. One of the songs, "Grateful," had a lyric that went 'In a city of... (more)

Incendiary Device
This one varies between having a rock-ambient feel and more playful as well. It's long, but you have to stick around for a fun part at the end!
