Crossroads is a song I wrote around 2 years ago.
I sequenced all of the music in Logic 8, using its onboard sounds, plus a few Philippine Gongs from a friend's collection. Vocals recorded using the laptop mic (not a very good mic.. but till…

For this I wanted to create some longing sounding atmosphere. To create the (somewhat annoying) guitar part in the second half I used an ebow.

My final project required a vocal, so I made one up.
"lucid traum" is the vocal-less version of this song.
Uploaded
It's kind of 2 songs in 1.
Is the rhythm too disjointed in the first part, you tell me.
Uploaded
A song about reviewing the year behind and looking forward to the naughtiness of the year ahead.

I still want to rerecord the vocal for this one, but haven't gotten around to it.

Welcome to hail mary pass #1.
There are finished lyrics, but I hit a brick wall trying to pick instruments. Knowing that my time the next day would be severely limited, I decided to go for my so-called hail mary pass in order to get the song…

My attempt at writing actual ambient music.
The jury's still out on whether there's enough variance to keep the piece going.

I had a bad cold for a month and a half. It inspired the title and the (unpublished) lyrics.

I've officially run out of ideas.
My brain has been nuked by the tax monster.

It had been a semi serious piano piece for many years, but then I recorded it for a class project and started ad-libbing vocals.
And it turned into the goofiness you hear in the second part.

A 3/4 excursion into the melodic and thematic. Don't let the title throw you off; its usage implies escape from the oppressors, not aeronautical pursuits.

Quintet L'homme armé takes as its touchstone the eponymous 15th cent. melody. The melody is subjected to a series of transformations so drastic as to render it completely unrecognizable in its new fragmented and atonal context. This transformed…

It's still taking shape, but I like the atmosphere.
Goes as a pair with Shine, together I find them very relaxing.

The acoustic version in rough of Often hide with part of a song written back when I was putting my mind back together, it goes as a pair with Hammers. Sorry for the glitches, the MAC chirped in a battery warning during the recording, I would avoid…

A collaboration between me, Randal Pflum and Dayton Neely. Comparisons made by reviewers on Garageband.com to Rush, King Crimson, Yes and even Mike Oldfield, you will have to listen to the whole thing to hear the last one.

A Prog Rock instrumental with guitar and keyboard melodies and solos. Three parts to this song. Depicting peace and joy on The Path of Light. A cross between Yes and jam band music. Randal Pflum, all instruments except drums.

I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…

Minor tweaks to the original upload: Better balancing of volume level, subtle changes to dynamics of the piano chords, and the addition of a very low-key counter-melody line on the third go-round of the main verse.

I made this song in a day. The vague simplistic lyrics are about a struggle between want and must.

A better mix. I pumped up the trumpet, bass and guitar. It was just annoyingly low.
Thanks again to Benny for the trumpet parts.
