A year ago the Public Radio Exchange hosted a "Public Radio Talent Quest" inviting 2-minute entries from across the country from folks who wanted to be the next great public radio host. Thousands entered. Three won. I created this commemorative…
This is inspiring. Thanks for this. I agree, with douglasboyce, there is a rhythm here generated from the spoken word. And about a billion miles from rap!
This is a segment that's going into my piece "The Interview: When Words Fail". It's created entirely from a one second sample of a nervous swallow followed by a mouth click extracted from an interview. Overtones were manipulated to create the…
A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.
When I put these last 3 songs on itunes, my computer did something weird. It told me that these songs were already out there on the internet somewhere. So, in order not to infringe on any copyright laws, I would like to assure everyone that NONE…
i started writing this song 5 years ago and finally recorded it this year. sad to say, but my $$ situation isn't that much different. this is a whiny song from a liberal-arts grad who is a brat and can't really make ends meet in NYC.
i definitely…
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)
I needed 2m02 to finish the album. I was completely spent and without a drop of creative juice left. Just noodling with an Omnisphere patch when one of my cats, Mississippi, jumped on my keyboard and proceeded to walk up and down and sit on various…

Am completely digging Ghostly. Love your playlist. Am a fan.
Heartwarming melody - definitely sensing an ear worm. Love the arrangement also - the keys add so much!
Love your style.
Shades of Elvis Costello! Very clever...AND festive!
Love the quirky keys. I may as well fave your entire playlist! I must be in a ghostly mood!
Completely oddballesque, love it!
Loving the effect towards the end of the 3rd minute - very evocative!
Very much like this song.
Oh, great build - classic track! Very emotive melody also.
Touches of magic - love the vocal especially.
Just heard Bethan playing this (eating chili in my kitchen), and I rushed over to see who it was. :) Double faved then!
Love this arrangement - and the solid song-writing all over this playlist.
Hahaha, genius!
Heart-melting and gorgeous.
Great vibe! Hooky and edgy!

Very impressive! Amazing how you can get it to sound like a band of marching soldiers from about 2 minutes in. From a swallow. Wow!
You've gotta love a new toy! This makes me miss my headrush pedal.... :-( Great atmosphere you've created here.
Hey, that's a guitar. But you said...... :-)
The song ends in a totally different place to where it started. It DOES get better with every listen. Fantastic!
D...r...i...f....t....i...n....g...... Reminds me of Brian Eno a bit. Except this doesn't go on for 35 minutes! Love it.
This is a hauntingly lovely song.
Fantastic build-up, shimmering. Does it for me.
