Mucking about with the StormDrums plugin to try making some Battlestar-Galactica-esque soundtrack music.
Worked as an intro to the album too.

Was learning a Chaimaria song and getting better at palm muting. This is the result.

Just a blues jam. Michael Butler helped out on bass.

An upbeat hip-hop type number. Made mostly in Reason as I recall.

Been listening to far too much Black Devil. This is my tribute.

Saw a dude outside Tesco giving a good old religious rant. It was actually pretty decent advice, not fire and brimstone stuff. So I recorded him and made this.

A sort of electronic/post-rock thing. Came up with a wee tune on the rhodes and built around it.

The only track on the album with vocals. Also the first song I wrote for the album. Inspired by Iron and Wine.

The title just popped into my head unannounced one day and I had to try to work from that. About a girl with a broken radio and the repairman who would do anything to find her a new one and win her love...

The clock on the wall isn't moving

From the Chill Productions "Planets" project. What it feels like to fly through Saturn's rings, into its atmosphere, and back out.

Chorus is NSFW. Inspired by responses to one of my Facebook status updates requesting suggestions for song ideas. I incorporated all of the ideas offered. Took less than 2 hours, start to finish, to write and record. I really like the synth melodies…

I love the Commodore 64. Still have two of them. And a C-128. For me, this song captures the loony spirit of some of the Commodore games I loved playing.

Bluegrass banjo, southern rock drums, goofy synths, vocoded chorus, and DnB rhythms. Technically has a NSFW word in the lyrics, but probably not discernable.
Uploaded
Inspired by a trip to Japan during which I needed to obtain another towel for my friend Dave so he could take a shower. All I really knew how to ask of the hotel staff was "Where is the bathroom?" Hilarity ensued.
Uploaded
Distorted synths and drums, with some grit and an e. e. cummings poem read by the man himself. I am particularly fond of how this one came together, especially at the end.
Uploaded
A dance sundae with some samples sprinkled on top. Not my favorite, but was fun to record.

Dreamy instrumental with piano, middle eastern percussion, and deep bass. Inspired by William Orbit.

A lonely, slow, tune... with a forlorn and sometimes tense distorted guitar (actually my bass). Good music to listen to as you zone out and stare into space.
Uploaded
Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.
