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!
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…

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.

this was the song " i cant take my eyes off you" but my son thought that it said welcome to my backyard. Added some piano and softened the beats some. hope you like it.

~Good things don't age. What about a man?~
I was a fan of easy listenings like Enoch Light, still love these sounds and light pleasure that they bring. Here so.
P.S. Night birds recorded in Berlin this April, silly whistling/theme is mine…
This beat was made while teaching my Sound I summer class about making sample-based beats in Reason software. It is named after the new Circulator energy-efficient free bus in Baltimore. My main non-drum samples here are from my piece "Granite…

A little more up-tempo than my usual stuff, this is the first track I recorded with my melodica. Those things are TONS of fun. Had lots of fun making the drum track too. Really simple...drums, fretless bass (two tracks) and melodica...that's it.
An improv in a found tuning. E and A strings tuned WAY down so they're slapping the neck:
A(low) E(low) C# E A C#

Thanks for this. I live here on Mt. Fuji and lived through the quake...you've captured the feeling of the experience well...the awe...the helplessness...the trepidation...
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
Comments on Drop D's stuff
I invented the piano key necktie! I invented it!
Would fav it twice if I could!
YES! This is great! I love it!
I played with a vocal for this a couple of years ago - will see if I can finish it. Love this groove.
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."
As soon as I played this our cat came running in. Just thought you should know.
That's my kind of sound man I may have to work around inside this one a bit...
groovy

A little drum n bass in ya face. I really like this chune.
Love the bassine in this one D. I released a new dubstep jam i would like for you to hear.
Nice! Missed this one of yours
woah, this is awesome. Probably my favorite of yours so far.
This is really cool, D. Don't know if I've heard anything quite like it.
Funky cool. King Crimsonish, in a way.
love the FM synth sounding lines!
Killer bass lines working here
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.
Great fun!
Caffeinated boogie! Cool and crunchy sounds, D!

Yet another fun tune, man! Diggin' the low rhythmic running vibe.
Wooooooooooooo! Me likey! Nice flow...sounds...pace...production.
Yup...I gotta like this one. Great lyrics too.
down and dirty blues rockin'.
Really liking this one. Well put together, yet out there...controlled chaos with a groovy shuffle.
enjoying the scenery of this nice leisurely stroll.
Am I hearing a bit of Bill Laswell influence here?
Heavy head bobbin' beat! Coulda been a bit longer, eh?
Thanks for listening madhouse! It's good to know that it was good and smashed too. The question was nagging me.
This is the kind of tune I can get wrapped up and lost in for a VERY long time.
Thanks for this. I live here on Mt. Fuji and lived through the quake...you've captured the feeling of the experience well...the awe...the helplessness...the trepidation...
Great spacial depth and texture...wide open sounds with a method to their madness. Nice stuff!
Excellent beat-weaving goin' on here. Me likey.
chillin' rhythmic bliss. Diggin' it.
Like the feel of this one. I'm down with it.
Cruisin' to the coolness...across the border.
Okay...this is my third listen, and the dynamic phrase at about 3:18 still squeezes my heart to produce goose-bumps. nice.
I agree with Kirk...this is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing. I think I'm going to put this into rotation here at our B&B. Thanks for sharing.
like the hard panned percussion groove loop...gives it a heavy-swing, fly-wheel effect.
short, sweet...soothing.
