Written for a member of an online community I'm in. She'd fallen ill, so one of us organized personal care packages for her: Mine included a mix CD, and what better way to personalize such a thing than with a cheesy motivational rap song?

A while ago, I made a short little ambient loop I didn't really know what to do with. Eventually, I decided it sounded like hold music and this spoken word-ish piece resulted. Maybe it will function as a skit on my next album.

Synthesized guitar played by NEO. More fun with text-to-speech programs spouting nonsense, though I might get rid of those samples and add regular, human vocals.

This is the full version of the "crowd chatter" sound collage I used as the intro to "Shut Up, Thanks" - the track consists of several sped up tracks of a text to speech program reciting nonsense layered over each other.

The blog My Husband's Stupid Record Collection reviewed a Disney Halloween sound effects record, and one of the cuts was titled simply "Things In Space" - I decided I had to borrow that title the next time I recorded something suitably spacy.

"Fake Evil' was a working title that ended up becoming the real title - the reasoning was that the music was too over-the-top to actually be ominous. The vocals are bits of "Microwave" run backwards, put through a heavy amount of echo and reverb…

For whatever reason, I was testing my microphone with the television going on in the background, and a bit of clearly audible dialogue ("all right, get in line") ended up at the end of my test recording. I don't believe in mistakes, especially…

An unlicensed Castlevania knockoff rush-released in 1986, Demon Fate Nosferatu Castle is now chiefly remembered for its extremely repetitive soundtrack, a short theme that would be looped continuously throughout gameplay. An urban legend had it…

The ending to this song is partially due to a mistake copying and pasting to the wrong tracks - it fit the mood of the rest of the song, and I'd been struggling for an ending anyway. Song title inspired by a spam email.

Entirely performed on empty beer bottles, this piece was inspired by a frozen New England night.
