This track is almost 14 years old, but is the result of me getting an hour or so alone in the KIIS FM studios thanks to my old college buddy Mike Madrigal who was doing production imaging for the station at the time. I did the drum loops (sampled…

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. I relocated to Hawaii and had to leave most of my studio and instruments behind, so I have nothing to make new music with. However, I did discover an old track while un-packing and consolidating my…

This track was made for collaborative purposes. Looking for a slow build of layers. If you hear anything that you would like to add...feel free to do so, and send it back to me...or post it and let me know that you did. TANKS!

I played with a vocal for this a couple of years ago - will see if I can finish it. Love this groove.

This solo studio dub jam was created and recorded in about 8 hours of play time one day. As usual, it starts with a simple drum machine track, then fretless bass, then keys, guitar, then a Balinese kecak drum and a tbilat drum and finally melodica…

I just made a video putting this song to Charlie Chaplin's speech, "The Great Dictator" It turned out to my liking, so I think I'm changing the title of this tune to "Soldiers In The Name."

This tune hopefully shows the culmination of my musical influences (namely, Mick Karn (R.I.P.), Adrian Sherwood, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble...) while also painting a visual picture...as it was written and recorded in one day after I went free-diving…

That's my kind of sound man I may have to work around inside this one a bit...

Okay...so Godzilla comes to YOUR town and wants to get funky. What does it sound like? When I first came to Japan, there was a time when I spent three months homeless and living out of a coin-locker at Shibuya station. Eventually, I got out of…

This is what happens when I come back to a track that started being put together in a commercial radio station production studio back in about '92/'93 (post liquid-lunch "creative" time). The rhythm loops were layered then the crunch guitar (courtesy…

I'm curious if anyone can name any of the bands that were sampled to create the rhythm loop. It's quite a mashup. Hint...it's all late 80's/Early 90's alternative stuff.

Drum-n-bass composition I did back in 2004 via digital-razor-blade technique with an additional fat synth line. That's it. Hear something you want to add? Go for it!

This is just a bit of silly fun I had one day with a four-track cassette recorder...about 9 years ago (yup...another lost find fro the racks). Just blowin' off some steam on a day off in my little apartment of Tokyo. On first listen-back...it…

This tune was written on the day I bought my vintage Yamaha CP-25 electric piano and returned to hear that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I fired up the gear and cranked this out. The sound of the piano made me feel like Ray Manzarek...thus the…

An experiment in minimalism ala 2004 inspired by the likes of Muslim Gauze. Dumped a Korg ES-1 drum track into Nuendo...cut it up...then added a sample of an ancient Greek song of Mourning...cut that sucker up too...and this is the result. I did…

This has a Real Urban Feel! Superb work fitting all those separate riffs in into this! Reminds me of the old Arcade Cabinets I used to play growing up.
