The stars leaned down to whisper
and fell out of the sky.
And darkness streaked with wonder
now pours into my eyes.
And though the night is warm,
cold waters move to fill
dark pools in rocky shorelines.
The sea is black and still.
So now I stand…

A man's heart was once broken, but now, with love, it can finally be mended.
Lyrics:

I've got a feeling that you want me
Your emotions are aglow
I must find out
I've got to know
I never thought I could love again
It's been so long…

Obviously inspired by Steve Reich (in the afternoon). The song would have been longer, but a nasty hard disk failure took out the original wavs. An alternative title could be Techno-dog Eats Homework.

This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?
Uploaded
This is one of the first recordings I made that I was genuinely happy about and satisfied with. Like all my recordings, there's definitely stuff I'd change about it (namely the drums and drum tones) but I love the composition itself.

I wrote this one years ago but didn't record it until recently. The piano notes in the middle are probably my favorite notes in all my songs.

I wrote this song using a looping pedal. Pretty fun song to play. Maybe one day I'll revisit and elaborate on it a bit.

A light, kind of bouncy jam. Lots of production mistakes but still enjoyable.

I wanted to write an electronica type song, and I came up with this organ riff and took it from there. I really like the interplay between the bass, organ, and strings during the chorus. One of my favorites.

I like the way this song builds and goes on a journey.

This is probably my favorite song of mine. Somewhat long, but I think it flows real well and builds in each section.

I have many musical influences, one of which is that thick Brian Wilson / Beach Boys harmony. While my songwriting is seldom as sunlit and carefree as his, this still should be considered a respectful homage.
