My first composition that uses an odd time signature for a few measures. My drum fills are also more elaborate. It's just a little tune to bob your head to, tap your toe, you know, the good stuff!

Thanks for these sounds and for your helpful comments on 'For Joy.' For horn sounds, I use a combination of my own horn [acoustically/live recorded] and Garageband symphony samples [one of the 'jam packs']. The EQ-ing and time-based effect mix seems crucial. Having a long history around brass, I just try to adjust all of the above to get them to blend and sound reasonably natural. As to relative 'prolificness,' I've been out of full-time work for too long. I teach part-time and have a backlogue of things that I tend to re-vamp. Bless you and your efforts, man. kss

This is basically a simple organ jam with some glitch elements thrown in for good fun!

Well, that’s a tough one. I would suggest starting out with Burnt Weeny Sandwich; it’s primarily an instrumental album. And the compositions are great. Other suggestions, Apostrophe, Overnite Sensation, Roxy or Elsewhere, Baby Snakes, Shut Up n Play Yer Guitar, Sheik Yerbouti, We’re Only In it For the Money, Just Another Band From L.A., Chunga’s Revenge, the list goes on and in no particular order. I can give you more info about computer voice thing by email.

this reminds me of some good old Frank Zappa from the Burnt Weeny Sandwich album.

this tune is great. thanks for your support. My drums are samples from an old yamaha keyboard. I put the drums on four tracks, 2 left and 2 right. I haven't mixed them down yet. When I do I'll post the revised tune up and let you know. If you like the way the drums sound at that point I will be glad to tell you how I mix them. thanks again.

Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?

Compositionally this song started out with the drum pattern and grew from there. I'm not sure why I chose the title 'Mad Man' but in some ways I thought it was fitting. Anyway, this song is dedicated to crazy geniuses whose academic work is…

Sounds like a heartbroken fishing boat starting its shift, and people think fishing boats don't have hearts.

A fun little instrumental that incorporates elements of chiptune sounds mixed with other non-chiptune sounds.

Another mix of video game sounds plus acoustic instruments (a la the flute in this one). Thanks for listening!

Love the description of this song. It's interesting to note that quantum physicists are proving things today that people said not so long ago and were considered crazy for saying them. I dare you to try and watch What The bleep @#$##$...or something like that. It's about quantum physics. Crazy stuff..

yeah love the percussion and general sentiment about mad men. Thanks for the warm Ohioan welcome... I'm excited to finally live in a state where the leaves change colors every year! What's this thing called seasons?

What a cool, eclectic, mix. Liked this one, especially the sound of the piano running through it and counterpointing the glitchiness.
