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.

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.

Tune inspired by a character in a webcomic. Starts out slowly, doesn't have any incredible builds. But towards the end, I made a very odd 5/4 motif with automat synth that I'm half-proud of. But not really. Thanks for everyone's kind comments…

I Believe by far my most beautiful instrumental track, much the
opposite of You Forgot Bush's War Crimes. Maybe because I haven't commited any?
I'm growing to accept that most of the time, my instrumentals should be short and

Inspired partly by a co-worker who was a great, now lost musician. This track is
somewhat about my five year stint in Gallup, New Mexico (Bob Dylan anyone?). This

I'm not usually good at mixing two of my songs together, but i think this turned
