Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
I was finally able to finish this one up over this past week. Like always I am never satisfied but I have come to a point where I just tell myself enuff is enuff and move on to the next song...pheww! Hopefully it sounds good on everyone elses…

Did this many years ago. It came together very quickly. There are know synths, all guitars and backwards vocals, sped up vocals, detuned vocals.....whacked sounds. I wrote the lyrics on the spot. I love its deep personal message...lol!

I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…

FDR emerged from his cave one morning and took a stroll,it was a blustery day and his ears blew back like two streamers in the wind. He went down into the woods and there in the dappled sunshine he saw something gleaming through the…

(ca 1998) A sort of sappy ragtime ballad thing. Composed on a Roland JV-30 using Cakewalk. This version was rendered with TiMidity++ & freepats from a recovered MIDI file. I don't know what happened…
Dug up an old one. I'm sure 'True Blood' had something to do with this. All I do know I was just getting over Flu, hence the voice !!!! No more Flu please, twice in my life is enough !!!!
Why?
Oh' I am not so ready in my heart
But I will reach for closeness to the wind
Fear stops what we feel.
I feel i know you now.

Let's talk of all the things we need to say
No whispers will suffice in our abode
Only song of what we…
Jip1965 came round to kick my ass into gear and played a bit of rhythm i did the rest and then sent it off to the good Lady Jane to do her stuff and very nice stuff indeed! Cheers Me Lady!!! x
A mash/add-on for the Sound-In event this week. Took Glenn Smith's bass piece ("Enter the Ice") from last week, added Shane Cadman's chimes then played some "frozen" guitar over that.
This is probably some of the most original music I have heard. It has alot of recognizable elements that meld together really well. Blows me away everytime.
Waiting for something that would be: familiar feeling, isn't it? We look forward to when she comes back, look forward to when the morning comes; waiting to stop the rain (or when will finally rain...).
Life itself is a... waiting?

This is genious. Love it.
Epic track! Full bore!
:) genious.
Totally helped ease a restless mind. Thank you.
This would make great scoring work. Nice creation.
This is tops. Keeps the interested very similar to Giraffage's stuff.
Totally whacked , had me smilin the whole time.
Nice and rich sound with those stereo guitars and layered vocals.
U have a signature style goin on with that drop tuning, stacked vocals and snappy percussion..
Very hip...could even go in the direction of heavy distorted guitars but stands on its own as is.
Instant fave! Listening while making some Voodoo pancakes....hey voodoo chile!
Real great song and performance. Your lyrics are like a work of art. This creme of crop.
Somebody done spank the booty off that bass line!
Experimental and trippy. Picturing some sort of ritual in the desert. All the dissonant chord tones work great.

A higher musical consciousness. Meditative.
That is a very strange sound there..cant plac e what it is but its strange and beautiful at the same time.
