i dunno, the noise reminds me a little of a harmonium?

This was supposed to be a 3+ minute fade out to end the album, but I was too lazy to do it so I just let it play. The rhythm guitar is my original scratch track, note the screw up in the last verse.

I had more or less run out of ideas so I tried noodling in drop D tuning and this is the result. I almost like this. Not quite though. The lyrics are nonsense.

Beginning to run low on ideas. I went back to my standard add-a-minor-seventh-to-every-chord gimmick. As for the lyrics, I wrote them on NHL trade deadline day and couldn't believe my Bruins traded for Mark Recchi. One month later it's looking…

My attempt at a 12-bar non-blues. Did it work? eh. The lyrics represent the first time in my life when I can write a love song and not feel like a liar.

FAWM suggested we write something with time signature changes. I wanted to try it without messing with the 8 beat format I use to program my drum machine. This piece of crap was the result. I didn't realize until weeks later that I lifted a…

The riff was inspired by an electronic device that has two speeds. I kept switching back and forth and listening to the hum popped this into my head. The lyric was supposed to be George W Bush bashing (the twit) but I don't really know what…

Just a dumb rocker. I like those now and then. The lyrics were pulled from two discarded ideas. One is about being nuts about my fiancé, the other... I have no idea. Donald Fagen maybe? No clue.

One of three songs with lyrics written about my RPM 2009 strategy. Something about this song appeals to me. I think it's my favorite one out of the ten.

My plan for the 2009 RPM Challenge was to get up a couple of hours early every day and take care of business before the business day started. I didn't want to take any time away from the family so that was my only option. This song is from the…

I'm Learning MAO with Reason, this is my first track using this software :D
This is just a test, there's no real end to the track, the purpose was to get to understand the general process of compositing with Reason. ;)

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later

this is the second electronic song that i've written. it feels short to me, at the same time i don't want to run the risk of "repetitive electronic music" stereotype. enjoy

this was the first electronic song that i wrote. i enjoy the overlapping drum beats.

This song originally bored me. but i found out how to modulate and bend the sounds in a way that i enjoyed it. also listen for the appearance of my lovely Dumbek drum. :) enjoy

This is my cover of 'Lady Killigrew'. This song was originally done by Sister Savage, and Bethan Mathis, and can be found on either of their alonetone pages. I highly recommend their version. They sing prettier... probably look prettier too…

This song is done in a dropped F tuning. I won't bore you with the tuning itself, but the same tuning makes an appearance in Consequence, Painted Tense, 70 and others. My favorite part of the song is the verse after the solo. For some reason I…

This song came from a song-fight inspired theme for RPM 2007. The title was one of three picked from a hat by RPM HQ for people to try to write a song for. This one came to me in my kitchen in mid February. I was absent-mindedly singing the phrase…

Well, what can I say here? I knew I wanted to do this one with a pseudo dark, smoky old jazz club feel. I kind of pulled it off, but not completely. The song itself was a happy accident riff. I picked up my acoustic, threw a capo on for fun and…

One of the songfight inspired titles for RPM 2007. This was also picked out of a hat. This one is the mother of all semitone slide bass/root note chord smashers. It's everywhere. The lyrics are some of my favorite, though most people have no idea…

Backwards acoustic! In synch with the beat! How did he do that?
I was messing with the acoustic and it was sounding too '67 for me, so I decided to throw a hip-hop beat on it. I kind of like the holes in it, as well as the harmonies. It doesn…

The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.

Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…
