short piece created in Loopy HD, fretless guitar
Uploaded
Stiff, awkward live drums with an unrelated guitar part pasted over them.
Uploaded
Set the parametric drum plugin to "all fills/solos" and pasted an unrelated bass part over it. ("Xenochrony" is a Zappa-ism.)
Uploaded
One of the happier-sounding things I've ever come up with. Ukulele and upright bass.
Uploaded
Recorded myself learning ukulele chords, then pasted it on a busy parametric drum track.
Uploaded
When learning this guitar part, my bandmate asked me, "Do you write anything that's not weird?" (or something to that effect). No, sir. I do not.
Uploaded
Messing around with the settings for the drum plugin. Didn't think to disable the miscellaneous percussion settings, and ended up liking them.
Uploaded
Programmed the drum part on my old Kawai drum machine for a buddy back in 1995. Managed to import into FL Studio, so I wrote a crappy guitar part to celebrate.
Uploaded
Two riffs on guitar and bass, over programmed drums.
Uploaded
Dorked around with the same circle-of-fifths thing while waiting for people to show up to a jam session. (They didn't.)
Uploaded
Testing the MIDI-to-USB cable from my cheapie keyboard into FL Studio.
Uploaded
More parametric plugin drums with some "just making sure the computer will record the guitar" bits pasted in.
Uploaded
Borrowed my dad's Dobro and fumbled through part of the circle of fifths on my acoustic guitar.
Uploaded
another fretless improv done in short phrases and assembled in Loopy HD.
Uploaded
Parametric plugin drums and my old Ibanez shredder guitar.
Uploaded
Collage of leftovers from the recording sessions for this album and the corresponding Spice Rack Collective album, Could Have Done Better.
Uploaded
Acoustic guitar, bowed psaltery, and various percussion. It took longer to tune the psaltery than to stumble through 3-4 takes of the simplistic melody.
Uploaded
Built from 4 measures of sheet music appearing in the issue of Fortean Times used for inspiration. Created in FL Studio.
Uploaded
Programmed drums, baritone guitar, and 6-string electric. Kinda boring, but it's only a minute and a half. :)
Uploaded
Parametric plugin drums, plus 5-string bass and Squier Strat copy. Might have recorded an acoustic guitar track as well, but it didn't work as well as the electric track, and the "song" sounded too busy with both.
Uploaded
Parametric plugin drums plus guitar and bass. Clearly remember watching the rare Alabama snow fall into the light from our front porch, right under the double windows in my office/studio. The image has nothing to do with the track or the title…
Uploaded
Coulrophobia = fear of clowns. *shudder* Created in FL Studio.
Uploaded
Vocal bits are excerpts from Charles Fort's description on Wikipedia or from his works (available from Project Gutenberg). While watching some horror movie late in February 2015, I suddenly had an itch to play something long and slow. Used 5-string…

I'm proud of this one, but it does not make me happy.
Uploaded
The background sounds remind me queasily of the "Mickey Mouse Nose" (nitrous oxide, I guess?) used to anesthetize me before dental procedures as a kid.
Uploaded
Background sounds = microphone into guitar pedal board with plenty of delay.
Uploaded
Same chords as The Classroom. More computer voiceover work. The little pause before "finished" at the end always unsettles me.
Uploaded
Live guitars and bass, programmed parametric drums, and more computer voices. Not referring to a single, specific WETJ - there are plenty of examples. Credit for "Buddha Bubba" goes to the late, great Bill Hicks.
Uploaded
Looped ambient guitar, plus more computer voices. I really liked the tiny touches of world-weary sarcasm in the second and third iterations.
Uploaded
One ambient guitar take, plus another computer voice so that I (and you) don't have to hear mine.
Uploaded
Live drums and keyboard accordion. Our British friend gets in a couple more sentences.
Uploaded
DAW plugin drums, live guitar(s) and bass. I made computer voices say some words so I wouldn't have to.
Uploaded
DAW plugin drums, live guitar and bass. I don't really hate everything. Mostly just the sound of my own voice.
