Ok, this one has a journey for its creation. The original riff actually came to me in the heat of late August 2013. I still remember when it came to me. It was in a different key, with a slight different resolution. It felt like a hot summer's…

Augenschmaus - is something what is good looking. Ohrenschmaus is a pleasure for your ears. Cheers.

A nod to years spent in Athens, GA

Nothing special about this one except that it broke my one songwriting challenge rule: I rewrote part of it. The lyrics. I wrote the melody and a set of lyrics that fit late one night and even before I conked out for the night I knew it was…

Greg Connor wrote these words and I got permission to jazz it up Words Greg Connor. Music slkrell

You can take the red head out of the 80's, but you can't take the 80's out of the red head... I guess. I didn't like anything current when I was growing up during the 80's. Well, almost anything. This one was originally written during the…

Excuse the weird title. After completion of the track i had a really weird dream and this is my interpretation of it. Min 4:00 and on is a calming landing into peacefulness and mindfulness.

OK, so episode 3 of my Lockdown Orchestrations series....a different feel this time from the full-on epic trailer style from 1 & 2, perhaps?

Well the virus has my friend and music partner in Krakow Poland sheltering in place but we are using the time to write and record..here is our latest...we tried to write in the style of Motown...check it out ... all music and production by Art…

Finally I have completed a track on this, for me, a very uninspiring year, musically speaking. Lyrics come from the inexhaustible weirdness of my dreams. Happy Halloween... if that's a thing :)

Originally composed in 2012. Lyrics written 2019. Produced July-August 2019.

It's been a while... This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…

SOME PEOPLE - G GCG GDG Some people have someone to hold them when they are lonely Some people have someone to call their one and only A Some folks miss the boat, or get a boat that won’t float Or get a goat that eats their grass GCG…

The fortune cookies do not lie

Pack a bag and head out west Change of clothes and leave the rest Northern skin needs a little sun Sunshine can cure anyone Slow it down to a steady pace Forget about the human race All I need is what’s inside Take the rest and let it…

Just a little piano improvisation.

RPM 2016 is underway! This was written on an iPad on Tuesday 2/16 and recorded and mixed on Wednesday 2/17. It is just a looped 8-bar bass line with a change added somewhere on each iteration. The lyrics consist of one verse repeated forever…

It's not really a finished, polished recording, but isn't that the point of this website? Hope you like it. sunshine and all the dust faded colors up above memories of the one I loved coulda been the one the desert she don’t forgive ya…

Last year friends and family seemed to be dieing right, left and centre. Part of my RPM 2015 effort

Bill got with Wayne and they made this... with a moxf6 yamaha and novation supernova II mixed together as counterpoint microtonal 22edo guitar bound the tones together. :)

RPM Holiday Challenge 2014 recorded entirely in Garageband on my IPad mini

Wasting some more time :) Enjoy!

Yes, yes I know. The guitar melody sounds a lot like the jazz standard "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat." I understand and I'm sorry, but it's so rare that I come up with an instrumental melody that I just have to run with it when I get one. The vocals…

I keep pushing the pedal down and nothing is happening....

just a recording done with my new 7-string guitar, it's working good so far...

The Link Wray tune.

Evan tries his hand at horseback riding. The steed gets away from him at one point and runs until it is exhausted.

2010 24 hour challenge. Record a 24 minute song in less then 24 hours. Work has been so crazy music has been taking a back seat. I might have to try this concept again to get anything done on the creative side of things. :)
