Just another quick test of the yet unnamed RobRokkenAudio plug in... with a scary clown. Hey kids! Rememeber the 80's? Awwww, that's ok, neither does Uncle Bobo...

As Darren (the singer) described this song.. an Irish love triangle a man, a woman and a drink!

The life story of an Irish itinerant. This song was made popular by the Dubliners

Yeah, so I finally consolidated my music collection over from my other mac and found my grand total for 2009.
This is my 60th track of 2009.
I wrote my first track for a MIDI class in the fall of 1999 (did I mention I'm a 10th year sophomore…

An Irish pub song made popular by the Dubliners and probably the Clancy brothers too.

A contemporary song written by Jimmy McCarthy and adopted into the Irish ballad scene. From the singing of Christy Moore.

A song about working for a dodgy builder in England called McAlpine. Because of the harsh regimented working conditions his workers nicknamed themselves McAlpines "Fusiliers". From the singing of Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners.

This is is a bit of a sea shanty. A sailor decides to go back to sea but then regrets his decision. From the singing of Luke Kelly and the Dubliners. The hero of this tale recommends getting married and staying in bed all day as an alternative…

No vocals on this track ... Voice coincidence? Don't listen before beddy byes!

I do intend to title this, eventually... (Harp Ocarina... Nifty, huh?)
It's the first piece I wrote for DungeonHack. I'll probably pick this apart to write a few variations... It's got like three "moods," and I need pieces with one...
Uploaded
This is a sad-ish... maybe "spooky" variation of Harp Ocarina.

... And another not-that-great variation of Harp Ocarina. This is my basic idea of what a battle song could sound like in an rpg... maybe...

When I tweeted about maybe doing an Irish rap tonight, I wasn’t actually serious (though it has been on my todo list for a few years).
But I took a walk, and the idea of going for it stuck in my head. So I started developing it on the walk and…

(...featuring Reese Richardson [guitfiddle], Becky Beighly [lyric], Chris Golinski [drums], Eric Evans [bass], and KSS [trumpet/vocal/engineering].)
Uploaded
This song has everything. Love, betrayal, gunfights, hold ups, prison break outs and whiskey.
Uploaded
The 3rd song I ever really wrote. Someday I'll record the vocals to it and then we can all laugh together.
Uploaded
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.
Uploaded
Another experiment. The name comes from the fact that I was in the woods; not because I was really concerned about making woodsy sounds...
Thanks again to glu and Chris McGrath for opening my eyes to some different Live tricks...

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.

Let us celebrate our failures and our successes!
I submit my failure here for consideration.
I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…

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
'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.

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

I recently bought a monstrous old Emu keyboard sampler, and this is the result.

Proof that a cheap electric guitar can be a substitute for a drum kit.
Uploaded
A badly-tuned kalimba, a toy drum and a novelty stapler... Pop genius.
Uploaded
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
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
The only song I ever wrote about an actual person I knew. She's heard it and she now sings all corny and gets the words wrong.
Uploaded
A ballad about the perils of life.
Featuring Bugzee & Tragic

There's really nothing special about this... I didn't even mean to write it.
I was looking for a (free) way to make music that's more... expressive. Rosegarden doesn't have enough in the way of dynamics. I tried a bunch, and I ended up with LMMS…

Hey Kids! Bring some strangers... Uncle Bobo's bus is in car jail.

That's right! The first of my pieces with a title!
It actually started as a little tune I whistled when I was getting my soccer stuff off after practice, and it hit me to record it, so I did... This is the outcome.
Uploaded
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…

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"

From 2006 or 2007. One of the first (and one of just a few) pieces I wrote using Reason. I was definitely listening to Patrick O'Hearne at the time...might have to buy some real piano samples.
