I decided to focus by timeboxing the amount of time I spent on drums, bass and lead into 30 min sections based on the pomodoro technique. The idea was to spend 5 mins picking the sound for each part, then 25 mins making some loops with it to arrange…

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.

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

This song is one that got left on the cutting room floor back in early 2005. It's fun to play, but the drums are almost too mechanical (they're real) for my taste. I thought I would finally let it out of the attic, even though it doesn't have…

I worked on this one off and on through '05 and '06. I did numerous demos of it (just me and an acoustic) before finally recording it proper. Originally I intended it as a slower, more ethereal (read:reverby) piece, but it just wasn't cutting…

this music is a reflection of my darker side, i wrote it when i first became a vegan and took mind to animal rights. i guess everyone has anger somewhere in them.

This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?

This is one of the first recordings I made that I was genuinely happy about and satisfied with. Like all my recordings, there's definitely stuff I'd change about it (namely the drums and drum tones) but I love the composition itself.

I wrote this one years ago but didn't record it until recently. The piano notes in the middle are probably my favorite notes in all my songs.

I wrote this song using a looping pedal. Pretty fun song to play. Maybe one day I'll revisit and elaborate on it a bit.

A light, kind of bouncy jam. Lots of production mistakes but still enjoyable.

I wanted to write an electronica type song, and I came up with this organ riff and took it from there. I really like the interplay between the bass, organ, and strings during the chorus. One of my favorites.

I like the way this song builds and goes on a journey.

This is probably my favorite song of mine. Somewhat long, but I think it flows real well and builds in each section.
