Moody, ambient track with a bit of clicky rhythm to it. This is what happens when I compose music when I've got a headache.

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…

I suppose this is an "ambient chill" piece. It was mainly an excuse to use a marimba sample and an analog synthy sound from my Roland Juno-106.

I imagine this music playing in a bar sometime in the future, probably in the background while cybernetic bar patrons interface with one another in full view of the world's sensor network.

My first upload for the 2010 RPM Challenge! I wanted to make a mean-sounding, minimal, instrumental groove track, and this is what I came up with. I tried a bunch of different bass lines, but they all made it sound too busy.

This is a pretty simple tune. Its been sitting around for a while because I kept thinking that I was going to add more to it or change it up a bit. That never happened, so here it is. Any suggestions or comments appreciated. :)

Another collaboration between me and guitarist Kerry Hoke. Kerry provided me with four guitar loops. I arranged the loops, added some effects, played a sampled upright bass, programmed some drums, and blended it all together.

This odd time signature tune was recorded on September 13, 1991, on a 4-track cassette tape. I imported it into Logic Studio, tweaked the effects and adjusted the levels, and here it is. Instrumentation used: an Alesis HR-16 drum machine, bass…

This is a collaboration between me and guitarist Kerry Hoke. Kerry did all the guitar work, with me adding some simple bass and drums.

A simple ethereal organ tune.

Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.

A lonely, slow, tune... with a forlorn and sometimes tense distorted guitar (actually my bass). Good music to listen to as you zone out and stare into space.

Dreamy instrumental with piano, middle eastern percussion, and deep bass. Inspired by William Orbit.

A dance sundae with some samples sprinkled on top. Not my favorite, but was fun to record.

Distorted synths and drums, with some grit and an e. e. cummings poem read by the man himself. I am particularly fond of how this one came together, especially at the end.

Inspired by a trip to Japan during which I needed to obtain another towel for my friend Dave so he could take a shower. All I really knew how to ask of the hotel staff was "Where is the bathroom?" Hilarity ensued.

Bluegrass banjo, southern rock drums, goofy synths, vocoded chorus, and DnB rhythms. Technically has a NSFW word in the lyrics, but probably not discernable.

I love the Commodore 64. Still have two of them. And a C-128. For me, this song captures the loony spirit of some of the Commodore games I loved playing.

Chorus is NSFW. Inspired by responses to one of my Facebook status updates requesting suggestions for song ideas. I incorporated all of the ideas offered. Took less than 2 hours, start to finish, to write and record. I really like the synth melodies…
