A song about immigration. This song has nearly reached national anthem status in Ireland.

This song has everything. Love, betrayal, gunfights, hold ups, prison break outs and whiskey.

The 3rd song I ever really wrote. Someday I'll record the vocals to it and then we can all laugh together.

Yes, it is obvious the choir is composed of mildly skilled amateurs, but I like this song very much.
And the first thing I'll do when I get a editing tool is cut off the applause at the end, too lengthy because it was an encore.

Came up with this while dialing in my new amp. It's just a jam sort of based on the main taking care of business riff.

I submit my failure here for consideration.

This evening I couldn't get any satisfaction, so I struck out in to new territory, whacked a load of reverb and echo on everything and set off. This is what I found.

This is day 24 of my 24 day project. So that means it's over.

I talked to the guy in charge of... well, everything but coding, I think... He gave me a lengthy description of the culture of where this piece is for, including pictures, which I was waiting on... The drums need to be fleshed out, but this is…

'Hond' is Dutch for 'Dog'. the song was inspired by my dog, which explains the title. it contains a vocal piece of proze (in Dutch) which i wrote about my dog (in the context of a larger story).
Uploaded
because this music might not be as good for your mind as you (or i) believe it to be.
Uploaded
song was created on my birthday, 9th of august, 2008. so that's why.
Uploaded
because the stick in the other song was great-sounding and it is also a reference to a dog.

an apparently innocent children's song on cut-up piano, while at the same time posing a very deep philosophical question, that is, besides a question in general, also a question asked with respect to your reaction to the song: if you think it…

'oprotmuziek' in Dutch, would probably translate as 'fuck-off music' in English. in other words, the kind of music you play when you'd like for people to go home, hence the title (and the music).
Uploaded
this is one of my favourite songs. it's not as strange or complicated or whatever as most of my work, but it's just very nice.
Uploaded
as i sit and make music till late at night, i sometimes lose track of time, as the title demonstrates.

English title would be 'today it's a bit cold', literally. it's a story by a Dutch kid about what he did that day and related stuff.

A big instrumental in about 3 minutes. Imagine the last few miles of a very long road trip.

Proof that a cheap electric guitar can be a substitute for a drum kit.
Uploaded
Again substituting a guitar for a drum kit but this time an acoustic.
Structurally, a more straight-forward piece, sounding more like a band than some of the other Ca Va? Oui, Ca Va! songs.

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007

A badly-tuned kalimba, a toy drum and a novelty stapler... Pop genius.

Totally fake rap-vocals from totally fake indians, you could tell from the cornflakes

This one was written after coming home in the harsh light of being out all night after learning someone I knew put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. I write this from his perspective...
'Nuff said.

Probably one of my better gtr riffs/rhythm parts in those days. The song is always borderline going off the tracks...but it was fun to play live.
Uploaded
The close friend of mine who helped engineer this session said my gtr sounded like a swarm of angry bees. That's the best compliment I can think of. This was a mayhem producer when played live. I barely was able to keep it together in the studio…

First take guitar part that I just liked the feeling of, which sounds a bit like a haunting version of Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'.
Uploaded
Beat created from different strokes on an electric guitar, which is probably of no suprise. Pretty simple arrangement but a fairly strong melancholy-pop song.
Uploaded
called this track 'dirty awakenings' because it sounds like dirty awakenings.

Sometimes we stay in a relationship because we grow comfortable, and we're scared to leave. The fear of being alone fuels us to settle for the wrong one. This song is my reflection of one situation that I was in. "Let Her Go"
