I might have put a few harmonies on this one...

I came up with the main bass riff on my electric bass, but after recording it I was unhappy with the tone, so I used a sampled upright bass. On top of that is a layer of doodling "lead guitar" (played on my bass), a dreamy semi-harsh organ sound…

This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album
For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…

Trying the distorted/clean guitar pairing... track 10 from "They Are Killers"

A Halloween collab we did last fall that I thought was pretty cool. Designed to scare old ladies and make babies cry :) I love the way the song peters off in the end.
All tracks recorded with the Boss Micro BR, mixed with Audacity and mastered…

One of my favorite and most interesting songs I've ever written. The last have of the song is exclusively synths, and one of the first times that I did not write it on guitar.

“my jetpack” a floaty, atmospheric type piece.
Notes:
I’m not thrilled with the strings (the part that only shows up once in the piece). I need to blend them more. They’re too abrupt.
I think the “percussion” may get too loud towards the end…

"bouncing pianos" - energetic piano/bass/drums tune
Notes:
This tune was totally brought to you by technology.
The variant in the piano chords came from quantizing some sloppy timing that led to some happy accidents.
The main piano line came…

TRACK 1-Dueling realities----To protect what once was his true identity, the conscience has split the personality. Leaving him disorientated, powerless, isolated and paranoid.

TRACK 2-Jesus Seed----Robbed of his innocence by a pedophilic priest (which becomes the singular cause of the fractures now developing in his mind) separates him from a future and from happiness.

This was the first track i demo'd for this year's RPM but i just got round to tidying it up and adding the third verse. A bit of a feel good record!

TRACK 3-Human dilemma--- He now knows the cold hard truth, that the outside world is often cruel and narcissistic. That society would rather follow a superficial pop-culture mentality instead of protecting the innocent or seeking individual enlightenment…
Uploaded
TRACK 4-Shivers---- His young mind now haunted by these atrocities. The effects of mans inhumanity to man on his psyche creates further disillusionment with reality.
Uploaded
TRACK 6-Ferocity in man---- His realization that society is filled with contradictions. Emotionally conflicted by rage, apprehension, narcissism and despair. People in general now are seen as parasites that need to be eliminated.
Uploaded
TRACK 7-Sudden Death---(instrumental) The sound of the utter chaos that can no longer be filtered from his thought process.
Uploaded
TRACK 8-Revenge---Sanity now a faint memory, he can no longer make the distinction between right and wrong. The only way to stop the chaos that now consumes his mind is vengeance!

Welcome to your first lesson in post-apocalyptic ballroom dancing for Martians and Manhunters alike. The track is not really cha-cha, but more like futurejazz, or 1960s mood music done by robots and mutants. 1-2-cha cha cha!

So I just figured out that the EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro (the DAW I use) can also import SoundFont2 files, which I happened to have a bunch of from a previous life as a Cakewalk user. All the tracks in this tune were played using old…

Of course, the title also reeks of jealousy because I couldn't create an IDM track even if I tried. So instead, here's a heavy, layered electronica track that reeks of faux glitchery and IDM-ishness.

For me, one of the side effects of unemployment is insomnia. I am the kind of person who worries about things, and often that worry extends into the night time hours. I sang this after a particularly difficult night. The vocals aren't the best…

In Manila, waiting in the U.S. embassy line for a tourist visa back in 1999 was a 2-day affair in sun or rain, day or night. This is a 7-min. ode to the torture of waiting for the unobtainable.

Self-consciously pet-soundsy guitar solo, a teen angsty lyric and an cappella ending and. Who say's I listen to too much Beach-Boys?
Why don't we walk away while we still have the chance

Messy…
