Album: Folk Songs

A short unfinished jazzy kinda thing from the end of 2006

What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman

It's my first jazz arrangement song with sax played by Nikolay Panchenko (Novosibirsk,Russia). This song is about love, about fine love.

Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment

It is created between the cracks. it is amplified. if you listen, you feel the space between time. it is created in a life without time. caught in a shadow of light. nothing can exist here. but this does. it is beautiful. it is ephemeral. it is gone.

Written after visiting a farmhouse I was considering moving to. Piano, accordion, bass.

Original Irish air. Lush, ambient theme. Penny whistle, keyboards.

More playing with BigSeq Thanks sandbags for the initial idea that started the thing; which was to run piano loops through BigSeq. Then slowing the tempo down to 26 I started adding some other textural things and ended up with this. Then some…

Started playing with a new toy. A plugin called BigSeq from AudioDamage and this came out. This is a rough mix that I'm not at all sure about. Suggestions welcome. I'll post an update when I've had some sleep.

Recorded December 31, 2008 Guitar: EBEGAD (Capo II)

The title was partly inspired by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, partly inspired by the circus sound it has.

I made this while falling asleep. I didn't even remember the next day. 1:32a

Feeling a little New Order style roadtrip music.

it is a winter blanket of snow. it smothers life. it attempts to silence all sound. however, small ghosts of music escape. they always find each other. every winter they dance together. they are the notes of christmas past. 0x0 hw: quicksilver…

a song from a previous band (kill.pop.), i took the metal out of it and made it more dreamy. this is actually the 3rd version of this song that i've played.

guitar instrumental, nylon classical

it is zajjy and offbeat. it is almost a tao of tonality. it is dizzy. it is not gillespie. do not follow its path too closely. it knows not its destination. generative music.

I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

Groovy Rolling Stones type rock and roll.

Really, I think this should have a full band behind it. That clearly wasn't an option in the time I had...

The first track I built, back when I was still full of hope for this exercise. I'm not convinced the hope survived it :)

Just a funky song about the world, economy, what we want, what we have.

Progressive Bossa Nova track

these first two songs were recorded, along with two others, as a soundtrack for a film tentatively called "Soul Destroyer". See more notes under"black ceasar".

"Lifeline" remixed

More music from the Hubert Selby Jr. documentary. The best thing about writing a bop tune is naming it.
