A cover of "There She Goes" by The La's. Recorded in one take on my soprano ukulele. I've never had one lesson!

This song is done in a dropped F tuning. I won't bore you with the tuning itself, but the same tuning makes an appearance in Consequence, Painted Tense, 70 and others. My favorite part of the song is the verse after the solo. For some reason I…

This song came from a song-fight inspired theme for RPM 2007. The title was one of three picked from a hat by RPM HQ for people to try to write a song for. This one came to me in my kitchen in mid February. I was absent-mindedly singing the phrase…

Well, what can I say here? I knew I wanted to do this one with a pseudo dark, smoky old jazz club feel. I kind of pulled it off, but not completely. The song itself was a happy accident riff. I picked up my acoustic, threw a capo on for fun and…

One of the songfight inspired titles for RPM 2007. This was also picked out of a hat. This one is the mother of all semitone slide bass/root note chord smashers. It's everywhere. The lyrics are some of my favorite, though most people have no idea…

This song was me seeing where I could go with some various chord changes and voicing. I was going for a rainy day in summer in the English countryside circa '72 feel for it. I kind of got it down, at least, my memories of it, which are foggy now…

Backwards acoustic! In synch with the beat! How did he do that?
I was messing with the acoustic and it was sounding too '67 for me, so I decided to throw a hip-hop beat on it. I kind of like the holes in it, as well as the harmonies. It doesn…

The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.

Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…

more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.

Had a guitar lesson today. Jammed on some chords. The chords happen to be the same as (or similar to) those in Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe. We just chose them randomly as a basis for experimentation with different voicings.
Anyway, got home and…

title says it all. This one I wrote the lyrics in about fifteen minutes and came up with the melody and chords later that night. It's in demo form. I want to flesh it out later

Arda and I played this song from my car loud, it was creepy, and people at b bistro seemed kind of annoyed. It was sweet.

Another build of Rytme, another experiment. This time the major change is that Rytme now provides a deep level of control over rhythm density which I use here to layer the more ghostly piano over the Liquid piano (both are Logic presets). I use…

Just a simple instrumental. My wife was working on a new piano style one night, and when she was done practicing, I decided to try my hand at it. I flubbed up the very first chord, but I loved the way my flub sounded, so I wrote a whole song…

Another instrumental. Several years ago I got a Behringer V-amp, and the first day I had it I wanted to play around with some of the odd guitar tones.
This was the result of that playing around.

Lyrics for 'Wild and Free' came while looking at a painting of the head of a horse. Composed by Julie Day and Grant Duncan in 2007, this rock song has a swing element to it. Enjoy.

'Time' is an ambient piece; which is said to reflect human nature from one point of view. This is a slow melodic new age/world genre short song. Someone who listened said it would best serve in pre-meditative scenarious.
