Mucking about with the StormDrums plugin to try making some Battlestar-Galactica-esque soundtrack music.
Worked as an intro to the album too.

Saw a dude outside Tesco giving a good old religious rant. It was actually pretty decent advice, not fire and brimstone stuff. So I recorded him and made this.

A sort of electronic/post-rock thing. Came up with a wee tune on the rhodes and built around it.

I tried so hard to write vocals for this. I even had some recorded but couldn't bear to leave them on. Anyone else wants to give it a go, let me know :)

The only track on the album with vocals. Also the first song I wrote for the album. Inspired by Iron and Wine.

I love the Commodore 64. Still have two of them. And a C-128. For me, this song captures the loony spirit of some of the Commodore games I loved playing.

Inspired by a trip to Japan during which I needed to obtain another towel for my friend Dave so he could take a shower. All I really knew how to ask of the hotel staff was "Where is the bathroom?" Hilarity ensued.

Distorted synths and drums, with some grit and an e. e. cummings poem read by the man himself. I am particularly fond of how this one came together, especially at the end.

A dance sundae with some samples sprinkled on top. Not my favorite, but was fun to record.

A lonely, slow, tune... with a forlorn and sometimes tense distorted guitar (actually my bass). Good music to listen to as you zone out and stare into space.

Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

This is the first track I recorded for my 2009 RPM Challenge CD. The music was written in January, but the lyrics were written by a good friend of mine, Sparky Adams, in 1972 right after he returned from Vietnam. Check it out!
