There are several theories concerning the extinction of Neanderthal humans 30,000 years ago. I am struck by the replacement of skilled hunters by aggressive agriculturists -- we're pretty much Cain, aren't we?

This is a haiku -- there is no deeper meaning. We're only counting.

Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.
Uploaded
Full name is "The Morphing Architecture Of The New England Vatican". This is another RPM 2010 track.
I have weird dreams where your average New England city is juxtaposed with some holy Old World locale. The music and lyrics arose from that…

RPM 2010 track. Opener for "The Loudest Silence" album.
Full songname is "Of Bad Sectors In The Human Mind".

Sprachgeist is a German term meaning the "spirit of language".
This one ties into the theme from 2009's RPM Challenge Album. (Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets).

This was one of the unnamed tracks that I recorded, forgot about, and rediscovered later in the month.
It's basically about working the night shift on an office job. (You see really weird things at night when an office building is empty and quiet…

Title track from my RPM 2010 album, entitled "The Loudest Silence".

"Jenny Blue" was originally supposed to be the album closer, but this track seemed like a nice outro.
(Definitely Tangerine Dream worship on my part.)
Uploaded
If "Jenny Blue" is the closer, and "Shrinking Violet" is the outro, then this is the postlude to the outro.
The only track I played in real-time on from beginning to end. (No idea how I managed to pull that off..)
Uploaded
This is one of the tracks that ties into the theme from my RPM 2009 album [Like A Dark Mirror Keeping Its Secrets].
A fall from grace. Every up has its down. Every down has its up. There's definitely a "ying and yang" thing at work here.

Do you remember those in your past who made your life more magical?

Wave 2010 (RPM)
Remastered version, June 2010.
Uploaded
The first single off of Dragons & Lace my completed 2010 RPM Challenge album.
Uploaded
Track 4. Contains an uncredited sample of American Indian drumming. I'd love to credit it... if I knew who it was.
Uploaded
Track 7 is about a couple of friends who seem to continually make self-destructive decisions.
Uploaded
Ever have one of those days? Yeah... that's what this is about.
Uploaded
Track 9. I love when my inane babble turns into a useful lyric.
Uploaded
quick little mandolin number to round out my album for the year!!
Uploaded
Meant as an introduction track to the RPM 2010 album.
Uploaded
Meant as an outro to the RPM 2010 album. I'm not proud of it, but i needed 1:45 more music to complete the challenge and it's the last day!
Uploaded
flute/bass/drums, kinda jazzy, upbeat
I admit, the title has nothing to do with the piece. It’s a reference to the morning I had. Yelyah v. Squirrel.
Uploaded
another lullaby type piece

It seems that any time I feel confident about being able to continue doing a song a day, I jinx my next day.
Like last night, I made it known that I was probably going to continue with song a day in March, whilst…

What's weird is that I didn't feel the rush of adrenaline until after I had finished recording the vocals. At 12:59 CST.
And then I just kinda freaked out.
For those not in the know, this was for February 28th's FAWM song skirmish. A title…

Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long, then this song started playing in my head.

This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.
Uploaded
this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!
Uploaded
I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…

Inspired by Neil Gaiman's Sandman series (my favorite reading material). What would happen if Death came for you, like in the series. This is that conversation.

About a special place...its not called Laurelie, but I liked the lyricism of that word.
Uploaded
One serious track. It's not like me at all, but there it is.
Uploaded
I was going through a real bad relationship breakup this fall...this is the abstraction of that relationship. Happy ending though, we are patching things up and working on getting back together. Hard to walk away from 15 years of experiences…
Uploaded
A song about my friend's daughter, who knows how to get my attention. She's a real gem.
Uploaded
Title track to our rpm effort. Introduces both vocalists and overall acoustic rock sound of the album.

no guilt clean slate no guilt
clean slate no guilt clean slate
raw deal dealt by me today
goin to church it will be okay
say a prayer in a quiet voice
drink some coffee and rejoice clean slate
no guilt clean slate no guilt

Languid tribute to Dylan's Desire album, with updated context.

This song is made entirely from samples from Left 4 Dead 2. Valve, please don't sue!

So he’s gone
What are you going to do now
You lived and breathed for him all these years
You can’t do without
Just find another
Get another one
It’s easy to find one to take his place
You think you have a void
A hole to fill
But nothing…
Uploaded
I miss the smell of your hands
Your breath
The feel of your skin
We didn’t have to talk
Just understood
What the other was
We are of the same
But we knew
The end would come
Time is no friend
We are not healed
The pain is old
But feels new…

I'm solid gold
Something must be said

So self absorbed
In over my head
Something must be said about it…

Old school or futurejazz?
Extreme games or simply spazz?
Gritty glitches with pretty snatches
of melody, harmony, Reason and thyme.

Based on the PK Dick and Roger Zelasney book Des Irale

From a 1850's travel bible tract from civil war.

Memories flash,
past my eyes I'm seeing,
only illusions,
trickling back in time.

This is a song from my ill-fated 2010 RPM Challenge album. I really don't like much about this except the drums, I'll probably use them to make an entirely new track.

I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…

i sat and i thought and i'm blocked
how did anyone ever put up with my arrogance
i sat and i thought and i'm blocked
i hope you got something positive out of this

This is an updated vocal of the song I wrote during FAWM/RPM.
I *had* thought that this was an improvement but when I listened to it later that night, it ended up just sounding like a *chorus* of flat-ness.

cheating is the main way
bad communicators chose to end it
and since we’re not taught to talk
it is an epidemic

i'm not afraid of being alone
i just like the company
in a forest with no one around
tears are dry and wounds don't bleed

you take me as is
you don't mind a work in progress
you say my flaws make me attractive
you take me as is

life is always better with a little bit of tension.
i think that we will make good friends
because my life’s complex
and you’re already taken.

This is one of 3 "Auction" songs, written for yearly fundraising auctions at a UU fellowship I used to belong to. The winners for this first year, I don't remember exactly what they requested. I think they let me pretty much do what I wanted…

This is the 3rd of the trio of UU auction songs. A love song was requested, so I wrote one based on my wife's favorite china pattern.
