This is on my Tectonic album from 1994

short piece created in Loopy HD, fretless guitar

Stiff, awkward live drums with an unrelated guitar part pasted over them.

Set the parametric drum plugin to "all fills/solos" and pasted an unrelated bass part over it. ("Xenochrony" is a Zappa-ism.)

One of the happier-sounding things I've ever come up with. Ukulele and upright bass.

Recorded myself learning ukulele chords, then pasted it on a busy parametric drum track.

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.

Messing around with the settings for the drum plugin. Didn't think to disable the miscellaneous percussion settings, and ended up liking them.

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.

Two riffs on guitar and bass, over programmed drums.

Casio keyboard plus tremolo guitar.

Dorked around with the same circle-of-fifths thing while waiting for people to show up to a jam session. (They didn't.)

Testing the MIDI-to-USB cable from my cheapie keyboard into FL Studio.

More parametric plugin drums with some "just making sure the computer will record the guitar" bits pasted in.

Parametric plugin drums and feeble slap bass.

Borrowed my dad's Dobro and fumbled through part of the circle of fifths on my acoustic guitar.

another fretless improv done in short phrases and assembled in Loopy HD.

Parametric plugin drums and my old Ibanez shredder guitar.

Collage of leftovers from the recording sessions for this album and the corresponding Spice Rack Collective album, Could Have Done Better.

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.

Built from 4 measures of sheet music appearing in the issue of Fortean Times used for inspiration. Created in FL Studio.

Programmed drums, baritone guitar, and 6-string electric. Kinda boring, but it's only a minute and a half. :)

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.

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…

Coulrophobia = fear of clowns. *shudder* Created in FL Studio.

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.

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.

Background sounds = microphone into guitar pedal board with plenty of delay.

Same chords as The Classroom. More computer voiceover work. The little pause before "finished" at the end always unsettles me.

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.

Looped ambient guitar, plus more computer voices. I really liked the tiny touches of world-weary sarcasm in the second and third iterations.

One ambient guitar take, plus another computer voice so that I (and you) don't have to hear mine.

Live drums and keyboard accordion. Our British friend gets in a couple more sentences.

DAW plugin drums, live guitar(s) and bass. I made computer voices say some words so I wouldn't have to.

DAW plugin drums, live guitar and bass. I don't really hate everything. Mostly just the sound of my own voice.
