this is classical music half the parts are played live in one go then copied for other instruments. the original takes are three and a half minutes long then copied to make this 6 minute piece all the parts were played on the laptop keyboard…

prepare yourself

Small sketch, to be made into a real-life song, once the cellist takes care of his debts. Instrumentation: Piano

Ol' Banjo Bill kept playing this riff, so we decided to make a little ditty out of it. We're thinking of actually making it a song. Instrumentation: Banjo Guitar A Comb and a Pen 2 Fairly Drunk Singers

Dedicated to the king of pop himself. I would love to have Michael comment on this song. Myself and a synth voice are on the vocals.

I think it's too repetitive. The bass is too harsh. The beats are stale. Don't agree with me though. :)

This was a collab tween us and Sinergen Drug from Aukland NZ. Amazing deep vibes.

I fall apart.

Partita for solo violoncello was composed for Sumire Kudo in the spring of 2007. Although it is a single movement work, its form derives from a collage-like assemblage of diverse materials that can be heard as fragments of movements from an imagined…

More Ace of Base, less Enya.

Just a quick conceptual sketch of a new piece we're brewing. 210 bpm, 5/4, with 6 bars per phrase. We'll probably take this down once we've got more there. Our poor pianist will probably get carpal-tunnel syndrome from this. Instrumentation…

I'm convinced that composing/recording daily is the best way to really find out if a DAW fits your workflow. And I think Ableton Live nailed its final nail in the coffin for me tonight. See, if I weren't writing so much, so quickly, I would be…

Recorded: August 8, 2009 Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD/DADGBE - capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity, Sound Forge.

This is how i wake up... this is how i fall asleep... This is what i think about... when i'm trying to sound deep...

Rough version

So I still hate Ableton Live with a passion for anything piano related. But things seem to go better if I head straight to arrangement view once I'm out of the improvising stage and do my recording there, rather than trying to think that session…

There's a note that sounds like it's getting abruptly chopped off somewhere in the song. Hopefully, you won't hear it, because I couldn't figure out what was causing it.

I composed this string quartet on a freeware music notation program. It just kind of came to me. Pretty short, but I'm sure I could expand on it.

We found a nice bathroom, and, moved by whimsy, decided to write this little shuffle for y'all. Took us about 15 minutes to write and record. It'd lose its spontaneity, otherwise, no? Style: Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young-esque Bathroom Folk Instrumentation…

Live mashup with Holly Bass on vocals, Jill Paige on piano. Recorded live at Playbill Cafe in Washington, DC.

Li Bao's lament, ‘Fighting South of the Ramparts,’ was probably written in 751, a year of significant military defeats for the Tang Dynasty, which was approaching both its cultural and political peak and soon to face the rebellion of An Lushan…

Vetiver's song

This is me playing the piano interlude of here's to life. Was finally able to upload it onto my computer using my Yamaha YPG 235 and some midi driver!

So i sat in my room one day incense burning, with my $100 pawn shop 2nd hand bass guitar which i painted white with the same paint as my walls and i turned the reverb on full and started doing volume swells with the knob on my guitar.. i sat for…

First post-24h tune. Music written and recorded throughout the day... and lyrics in the evening. WARNING: This one is another cliché romantic synth-pop tune; same *muse* as the last one.

First, I did Voices. Then glu worked his magic. Then I hated my guitar part so I redid it. Here's the result.

Brief musical sketch, to be transformed into a teary-eyed country weeper. Instrumentation: 1 Dobro Resonator Guitar, played on both sides of a slide. [If you give a page a dobro ...]

This is a track that I started and glu finished (more like knocked out of the park).

Grieving via bagpipes this time.

I got word this morning that my dog died sometime overnight, following his emergency surgery. It's never easy to lose a pet, but I find it's especially difficult when they're young and you were expecting to spend many more good years with them…

More solo piano. Yay. I'm also doing my own version of the 24 hour challenge... the wrong way. This is day #1 of that challenge.

A song I started writing the music for last night. Just got it finished so I thought I would upload. Words by Gordy Macdonald.

August 24 hour challenge.. I couldn't pass up on the name. =)

August 24 hour challenge.. Last track written, but I'm happy with how it came out.
