Of the whole album, this is the track I had most fun making. The instrumentation consists of accordion, beer bottle, work desk, toy keyboard, whistling, and scissors.

Possibly my personal favorite of everything I've written so far. I will admit that I can barely play guitar and this is the result of a lot of looping and editing.

Himitsu jam. Title says it all. Visting hard rock guitarist sitting in this session.

Himitsu jam session. This little piece reminds me of driving through small towns in Mexico on Sunday morning, with the light just pinking the horizon, and the entire towns' populace heading to mass to the sound of the church bells.

Playing with reverberation and stretching, part of a larger ambient piece for the RPM2010 challenge. It uses heavilly effected and modified samples and VST Synplant.

From the Himitsu jam sessions. Electronic punk jazz or almost anything else. A group of 3 to 5 musicians meeting weekly to just play. All improvisation, no planning or themes, just what you bring.

I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.
Uploaded
Ha.. slowed down a punk song I wrote and added some anthem synth line for a indie rock feel I guess.

An instrumental that sits in the middle where your grandfather would have been turning the LP over to play side 2

Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.

A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.

This one could use re-mixing, but I'm going to leave it as is for now. This should be track 6 on "They Are Killers."

I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…

I get to say that it borders on hip-hop because there’s a hip hop drum loop and a hip hop drum kit on it. I have no idea what to call it other than “electronic”. With a piano.
