Weird acapella experiment, part one. This is mostly improvised and sort of inspired by the first Beat Happening album, although it didn't end up sounding anything like that.

I think this is only the second time I've ever attempted an original song where I actually sing (as opposed to just talking). I may redo the vocals on this later. Maybe I'll add a track or two to the backing music too, although I want it to stay…

Not sure what genre this is in, other than "noisy". I also don't think it's finished, I'm just throwing up what I've got thus far.

Of the whole album, this is the track I had most fun making. The instrumentation consists of accordion, beer bottle, work desk, toy keyboard, whistling, and scissors.

So-named because it was a last minute addition to the album. I wish I could remember what effects I put on the accordion track to make it almost sound more like a synthesized sitar.

I'm proud to say this is one of the weirdest songs I've ever done. I got some more use out of the beer bottle here, this time hitting it with a pencil instead of blowing on it.

Possibly my personal favorite of everything I've written so far. I will admit that I can barely play guitar and this is the result of a lot of looping and editing.

As you can probably tell, I had a lot of fun with gratuitous panning and weird vocal effects on this album.

I'll admit I completely ripped off the rhythm of "Closer" by NIN here.

One of a few pieces composed on a battery operated toy keyboard that I nicknamed the Powersockey, due to the fact that the power socket was labeled that.

One of a few songs on the album where the percussion is a loop of myself hitting my computer desk with my hands. I think I got a nice hypnotic vibe going with this one.

Kind of a mashup of "Cthulhu Carnival" and "Sasquatch Horror Collection".

For whatever reason this album ended up having a lot of songs that could be low-budget horror movie themes.

Creepy carnival music. I was trying to remember the name of b-movie Cthulhu Mansion, and because part of it takes place at a fair, Cthulhu Carnival was my first guess somehow. I thought that sounded like a pretty fitting song title anyway.

A pretty little ambient loop I might go back and expand into something else someday.

You've been trying to beat a really hard NES game for months on end. You finally beat that last boss and you get treated to... a comically anticlimactic 8 note fanfare and a short congratulation in broken English.

Like "Neon Orange Dinosaur" this is a track that I think would make a pretty good hip-hop beat.

I guess you could call this my attempt at dark ambient. I once misread a sign in a bookstore that read "Read Away The Winter" as "Dead Avalanche Winter", and I filed that away mentally until I had a fitting song for it.
