My second foray into multi-tracking my voice. Still a great deal to learn here, but I'm starting to figure this out.

A very raw take, inclusive of mistakes and the dog wagging his tail to play some extra parts for me. He seemed puzzled that I was singing to no one, so he assumed it must mean I was singing to him! One of the strange harmonics is due to a…

A song that ended up in an entirely different place than from where it began. It was meant to have a dark 'David Gray' kind of feel, but ended up being the love child of 'Love and Rockets' and 'Stars on 45.'

A song that really crept out of nowhere and one that I don't entirely understand its meaning. Some things in the song I can pinpoint the origin, but some I haven't a clue. I'm really happy with the way it turned out - semi-ok vocal and all.
