A simple 3-part "round" or canon with variations, showing my children how you can devise a melody that can stack on top of itself like offset puzzle pieces, which will then make its own harmony (with a nod to the master of rounds and fugues, J…

Recorded: December 31, 2008 Guitar: DADGAD (Capo V) (low D dropped to even lower G for bass on one part)

A cover of the Raconteurs' track. Recorded December 31st, 2008. My cat runs into the mic about halfway through...sorry about that.

One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing

This song was written to celebrate freedom, actually, (the Russian at the end is one of the dudes from Freesound.com saying "sound should be free!") after a decade when I wasn't. Props to Shreya, who apparently is like me and will just not go…

Just a fun track I made that I haven't quite figured out how to integrate Shreya's piece 'Hades' over the middle section. A bit jarring but I still like it.

Recorded December 31, 2008 Guitar: EBEGAD (Capo II)

Yo-Yo Ma uploaded this cello part on indabamusic and invited others to create with it. I thought it was a cool idea. I had help with this christmas song from Matthiew, a wandering Parisian trumpet player.

it is a piece in threes. it is said that good things come in threes. it is in 3/4. it has three sections. it has three notes. the 3 note sequence was generated, repeated, overlayed, slower and faster in software. it is a small piece. it comes…

An acapella bit of Shreya's. She had recorded it to sound super high-pitched, and when I dropped it down a few octaves, was treated to a wonderful Bjork sound. At her request I threw some hip-hop beats underneath and away we go. Scary and sexy…

Earlier this year I was in a community choir, mostly senior citizens performing songs by bands like Soundgarden and Green Day. One of the songs, "Grateful," had a lyric that went 'In a city of strangers/I have a family of friends.' It was Halloween…

This was the first song Shreya played me, and she said it came to her in a dream, and I believe it. It's flooring, and her vocals/acoustic guitar are relatively untouched. I added the other virtual instruments, and if you listen carefully, you…

Recorded: December 30, 2008 Guitar: DADGAD (Capo III)

Some acoustic fun with a looper and too much delay!!

A little experiment running straight guitar sounds and two synths. Live to 2 tracks

Just one of my ambient "places to go live for a while" pieces

Just finished my latest royalty free Instrumental Track. The whole track is ased on piano/violin samples from Evanscence (Jamglue) which I cut/sliced into melodic parts. For the Hook I used a rasta's Voice as it comes with the title "Party With…

CUTIE WIT A BOOTY WRITTEN:BYJ-PLANET BEAT MADE BY: MR.DUNN DUNN IT

I got the idea for this song several weeks ago after spending some time on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. You can't swing a dead cat there without hitting a "Gentleman's Club," though I'm not exactly sure why anyone would be swinging a dead cat…

An Etta Baker (1913-2006) tune.

This track was made for someone else's promising independent videogame project. The project went horribly wrong, and I sat on an unfinished version of this track for more than a year. I finally decided to fix it today. As you listen, picture…

The sad part of a violent robot operetta. SPOILER: the robot dies.

This is doomgloomboom reprocessed; backwards, without phone message and piano.

Bass based contemporary blues (midiKeys bass). It is a game of rhythms. If I can get more creative, sometime, I'll come up with more varieties of melodies! Until then, enjoy! Ah yes... turn it up! Doug

I touched this up a bit with a stronger and better sound.
