*Dark modern electronic guitar rock*
You can hear it just below the blowing wind
Feel it in the nerves beneath your skin
Catch a glimpse as you drift away at night
But you can’t decode the meaning inside
Distant shrieking sets your teeth…

electronic nutsiness made in reason and then imported into cubase, one of my favorites, incidentally
Uploaded
this one goes way ambient in the 2nd half, brian eno-ish, i wanted to experiment with doing a track with no drums
Uploaded
another one i always play on the guitar, inspired by Nick Drake's stuff; half way through this song goes into unknown guitar improvisational territory, where i just played over my own stuff after looping it
Uploaded
that is not a sample you hear in the background, it is the dryer going. leave it in? okay, sure i'll leave it in. it's these artistic decisions we're all forced to make.

A Bonus track for "Summer Twilight on Triton;" more of the same, but shorter.

didn't know what to call this track, but once i came up with a title, it wrote itself! i heard on npr about how all this junk of ours is making outerspace around Earth a very dangerous place to be. this track is trying to reflect that danger.
Uploaded
this was one of the hardest to do, the 2nd half was great, but i hated the first half and was stressing with getting it to gel. so i scrapped it completely and started over. i think it was a wise decision.

I literally pulled this out of my ass in a few minutes. The lyrics just poured out of me once i decided to sing about myself. Very autobiographical, also inspired by polka music. i love polka music!

this is about a couple who are at odds with each other because of their goals, could also be viewed as a guy who wants his partner to commit suicide with him?
i usually play this on guitar, but for the RPM Challenge, i wanted to do it electronically…

Derivative folky song (don't tell Paul I said that). He writes a lot about the inadequacy of words. But, if he thinks words are so damned inadequate, why does he keep writing them?
Uploaded
You really want to get there, but you just can't find it, but the ride is entertaining.
I'm rewriting the lyrics. It's not quite oblique enough, or so I'm told.
Uploaded
I read Carla Zilbersmith's blog, carlamuses.blogspot.com, which inspired the song. She's rather inspiring herself.

It's based on a drawing a little girl drew (see also album cover).

A totally sheltered and unable to cope middle-class white kid screws up really badly and is on the run. I don't think he'll make it. Do you?

This fulfills a stupid promise I made years ago to write a song that was part Dave Frishberg, part Richard Thompson.

from the RPM 2009 album, "Spilt Hony"
This was an experiment to write a song using one sentence. I ended up with 3 small ones.

i am thinking about words tonight
they can be hard as nails
they-can be as shapeless as water
they can break your heart
they can hang like a chain
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…

you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…

i have been sitting in this rocker
wondering when you might arrive
i am hoping for redemption
cant stand the way i feel

you are like the rain that falls with the snow

start here at the airport
feels like im going blind

1000 miles away from peace of mind

when i was 18 i took in a runaway

I started this one at the end of januari in preperation for RPM. I added lyrics and vocals in february. So it's kind of a bonustrack. Just another throwaway popsong with the awesome stylophone in full effect.

My Clique-contribution with some added ambientsound recorded from my window. This is partly the traditional filler-track but I quite like the ambientsound. If I do a record next year (I probably won't) it will most likely be just 35 minutes of…

Another attempt at a Carol Kaye-bassline, slightly more succesfull. I quite like how this turned out although it's kinda slick and not something I could really use in another context (it just sounds like I didn't make it myself which I quite like…

This started sounding quite Nick Caveish and at the same time I wanted to do something with Joe Meek; so it's a murderballad-variation on Johnny Remember me. There's stylophone and theremin in there. The theremin is quite effective at some points…

Trying out a Carol Kaye-inspired bassline here (not completely succesfull; gotta work on my timing some more) and again didn't manage to come up with lyrics. Espresso Martini is a really nice cocktail with coffee you can get at the club/bar where…

Another one without lyrics. The title was my workingtitle. And I just thought it was a funny title (I think Rage Against the Machine is kind of silly) I quite like some of the sounds on this one (it's a Poly 800 through an Electro Harmonix Big…
