originally a fast tempo tune, i started slowing it down to add variety. it's hit or miss really. first you say, that you don't believe me then you say, that you cannot trust me then you say, that you can't forgive me then you say that it…

based on a poem from Charles Bukowski. the bass part is from an older song i wrote with a band call black water. i hate wasting good parts.

rpm song from 2007, my wife's father had just died and i had to drive 4 hours to be with her, then spent 2 days with her and her family, then drove back home and left her there. this is the song about that journey home. the house is cold…

this is improvised song that i just made up on night. the words always change and the length as well. it's not really about anything in real life, i just like the "lies to the sun" part.

the first new song written for the RPM challenge, i love the guitar part, but the words were last minute. some people get tired of my anti-religion diatribe. oh well Judge me, I want everyone all up in here cast your stones for slandering…

this is 4 bass tracks and drums the 3rd song i wrote about my wife. maybe someday the second song will show up somewhere. like a hunter hunts its prey eyeing me, hungrily can't keep her paws to herself and i'm not about to fight it it…

a song about my first house, after bouncing around rentals for 20 years. this is the way to my new house through the city and past the park it's not quite as far as you might think this is the way to my new house there might be a bus that…

I wrote this piece over the course of 2006. Though the majority was committed to paper during that year, the project continues to evolve every time I come back to it. I'm still struggling to find the perfect avenue to represent the composition…

A quickie! Thanks for stopping! Doug

Durning the recording of this it was 3 in the morning the fog had rolled in thickly and a fog horn was blowing. When I was monitoring the track I could hear the slow beat 6 bpm of the fog horn.

like feelings --and junk.

a jaunty tune about our eventual demise.

just keep your chin up and fuck the rest of the world.

some think urkel was funny or stupid. i know the truth. he was living in pain. now the world can know too.

sometimes you don't even notice how high you are... or how stupid your voice sounds.

Just messing around with some amp tremolo and a drum loop.

it is perhaps of Oriental origins. however, the pentatonic music becomes dysfunctional as it begins to fixate on two notes. it is almost humorous. it was considered a failed experiment. however, it is retrieved from the waste bin, as version 0x01…

This is another song snippet from my experimentations with Reason 4.

This sound was originally scored with a video provided by our professor, and the piece was longer, however I feel after the point that I have abruptly cut here, it gets a little lost. All sounds are recorded and manipulated.

Second piece I did for the installation, one that was less altered and created more natural atmospheres. Btw the cops came and got us, if thats not art success I dunno what is.

Our Sound 1 teacher, Eric Spangler, organized a coup of Baltimore's Penn Station via sound. We recorded from the enviroment and then took those samples back into the studio and reworked them. We then took the finished tracks and secretly, from…

This is a short experiment with the music program Reason 4.0. As I develop my chops in Reason I will be posting my short experiments on here for your feedback! Thanks for listening!

24 hour EP more than 24 hours late. I was going to title it "Perpetual Interruptions EP" but I went for something more positive. Due to weird bug in some part of my set up, there is a kick drum in only one side of the stereo for the first few…

Just a fun sort of chunky syncopated thing set to a reflection I wrote for a friend. Enjoy!

an experimental piece,exploring the musical landscape,which is a palindrome,given that the second track is the first,reversed

just bumpin down the road with the jazz guitar

guitar instrumental, nylon classical

multi-layered acoustic guitar piece

A remix my girlfriend Dionne came up with. Part of “The big crash of '07” album. Which is a collection of mostly prototypes of songs that are lost because of a harddrive failure. C'est la vie.

A mashup of “Bodyrox - Yeah yeah (Ramirez remix)” and “Bucky Done Gun - M.I.A.” Part of “The big crash of '07” album. Which is a collection of mostly prototypes of songs that are lost because of a harddrive failure. C'est la vie.
