Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain

~For whom who far away~ Also: "The Red Cow tried to stop dancing but it was no good. "' I can't. It is the seventh day of dancing. And I can't eat. I can't sleep.' "Hm - very strange." said the King. What does it feel like?" "Funny…

This is one of 13 songs I have recorded lately for an album of Northern Minnesota songs. It's been a lot of fun!

This is a recording of the first time I have played Ludivico Einaudi's "I Due Fuimi" all the way through. It includes numerous errors & slight pauses but I managed to keep going and finish it and after MANY months of practice that feels…

Sometimes the oddest things inspire a song. This one, about a long-time friend and former bandmate, a consummate musician, who passed away suddenly last year... just leaped out after I read a Facebook post where a couple of mutual friends had…

Ok, on the make micro music list tune smiths are challenging composers to write coherent music with their worst tunings imaginable. This is my result for one of the challenges. This is an improvisational piece that uses a modified pianoteq…

Harmony by [Tess Savigear](https://soundcloud.com/peppermintsky).

i would like to add vox to this eventually, maybe finish a song for once.

a no budget choir of ones. they all had their own ideas.

Just a wistful little tune about a child growing up. Told you I'd add a harmony ;)

I'll tell you one thing for sure... I wouldn't trust no words written down on no piece of paper, especially from no Dickinson out in the town of Machine... you're just as likely to find your own grave.

Well I did try and get an RPM challenge done after last years fail, but I'm still lacking enthusiasm or creativity. Hence the uninspiring title of 'The Fifth', as this was the 5th track I was working on and the only one that came close to completion…

TRAIL OF TEARS was not a metaphor. It was an American Holocaust. Michael Jeffrey helped me with this track. TRAIL OF TEARS Am Bm/A C/A Am C/A Bm (3) E A CHORUS - Well, the trees…

Three hours. No plan. Halloween. Thirteen tracks. Dark but not dark. Toys used: Synths: FM8, Massive, Absynth Guitar: GT-10, Timeless 2, Volcano 2, Eos, BigSeq2

An instrumental guitar tune which combines some flashy rock "guitar hero" stuff with a strong melody. Couldn't think of a title so I just did what I always do in that situation... nick the name of an old movie from the '50s

Trying a bit of cut-ups with sound clips.

This is the final scene of "The Lost Child," my big work for flute/actor/percussion/electronics. In this scene the protagonist/wild woman Ana realizes she will be outed as a fraud, and so takes her own life. flute, me; voice, Benjamin Pierce;…

Tom Izzo's realization.
