August 24 hour challenge.. I couldn't pass up on the name. =)

Noodling around on my guitar one day, I started thinking about the role of my mother in my musical life. To the family, she brought music. She tried the piano lessons, didn't work. But she didn't give up. When school presented the opportunity…

Another trip through the Reichatron. This time I caught a groove that I wasn't gonna let go.

I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks. I recorded my voice…

This song was recorded in my bedroom over an hour of me feeling rather unproductive. It began as some random piano playing and turned into an instrumental of recorders and synths, with some guitar side tapping drums thrown in for good measure.

The solo piano version of the song. Think of it as a sort of instrumental to an instrumental track.

One part Guy Richie, one part Cirque du Soleil, the rest a trip down a gypsy campsite. Played by me almost all acoustically (the only MIDI track was the bass) on my banjo, detuned guitar, recorder, and violin, along with various percussion items.

This is a song that I made for a scene in a short film I made with some friends. And if you couldn't tell the film is a bit Spaghetti Western based.
