When I was around three years old I first realized I was hearing music in my head, the sounds of which I could manipulate. I thought I was hearing the voices of an Angel choir singing with me. This is that tune, as best I can remember so many…

One morning looking out my picture window at the snow gently falling inspired this composition for bell choir. In this case, the bell choir is a Yamaha DX-11 synthesizer.

Playing with my new Zoom B1X effects processor. Synthesized drums are from the B1X. Bassline is a panicky one I like to play. The guitar part I just came up with. Altogether I think I like it -- anyway it gets my pulse up!

Happy Halloween. Or should I say, Happy Covid-ween. Har Har.
Another song from 2007's failed RPM Challenge that wasn't finished until 2011. This was also on my short list of songs to re-record when I first thought of this whole silly project…

A short 2-track guitar tune. I was trying to get that feeling of going out in public after lockdowns are all over. Sort of a combination of relaxing and frantic, I guess?

In a 10 song cycle where none of the songs were meant to feel like actual songs, this one feels like an actual song. Complete with guitar solos. One of them is backwards though, so it's got that going for it.
There's some polyrhythm going…

That sure is a lot of polyrhythm, right? When I put this together, the vocal section wasn't there. I took the last measure of the song and one phrase and pasted it into the middle of the song, dropped the rhythm guitars, and added the vocals…
