After finishing Karmabomb (first album, released early 2009), a friend mentioned that "En Route", the last track, made him think of grizzled vets mumbling on the bus... so I ran with the idea.

Demo for an upcoming satirical Christmas album a friend and I are working on. 2009

WELL....I wrote this song waaaayyy back when. I was NOT happy with the mix at all. BUT, all I had money for was a two track studio, AND ABOUT AN HOUR OF TIME. A good music friend of mine said it reminded him of an old live radio show. Like when…

An old Rodeo cowboy thinking about his life, and how he'll get to the next Rodeo to maybe make some money. I was traveling down the interstate and happened to look out my window. Just by chance this fellow in an old pickup truck passed us. In…

Left over audio from "How to Glu" This one is about power and resistence.. which I find to be quite sexy when I think about it. Instrumentation: distorted and clean acoustic guitar, swords, tabla, synth, drum programming, clapping, vocals.

This is a song about what I couldn't do for my lady love. The lyrics were written in a hotel room while I was missing her. ER

a bit too much goin' on, perhaps, but maybe bits and pieces for something later

People kept asking for something commercial-sounding. This was my response.

Already have an animation storyboard ready for this one. Sure hope to use it one day! Wrote this track to fill the void that is 8-bitty goodness.

Wrote the original for a Sectionz.com Onyx Theme compo - this one was for the 2009 SEMG.

"Serene" was one of the first songs I ever wrote in Orion. 8 years later, it's still my weapon of choice, and the only software used to make this remix.

was making music tonight when my dog started barking for no reason, but mild paranoia convinced me of the possibility that i did not hear anything outside of my headphones. i then made this song... ... actually, i already had the song half-finished…

This is a song that has been in "development" for a while. The music was written by Ewan Crossan while I wrote the lyrics and vocal melody as well as the middle 8 part that comes after the second chorus. The final version is quite different from…

Another collab. Words by Gordy Macdonald. Music by yours truly. You said you hate me when I sing So I scream myself hoarse for you Until my voice breaks like the morning But I'll never hate you too (Chorus) This is where I'd tell you All that…

Nother solo piano, I had been listening to Jarrett on McPartland, Quartet for the End of Time, In A Silent Way, and that great audio effect where it sounds like everything is continually descending, but it isn't.

A very special love song. Featuring Ewan Crossan on guitar. One touch Can make you do anything Your light shows me everything Please know i'll carry you everywhere I go, my plaything Chorus: And i knew i'd have you moment my eyes…

A very rough demo. Programmed the drum kit live in one cut. I messed up on the guitar part at one point too. Oh well.

This one's got a solid beat and some wailing guitars - just jammin' out.

A very electronic piece, with just a synth and a drum.

My first "lyrical" track on the album. The voice is philosopher Alan Watts. This was probably the most fun to make, especially once I stopped worrying about the measure structure. I think it's appropriate to the subject matter to chop up the…

Pure blasting digi-rock.

Very systematic, but still one of my favorites. What started as a practice in progression ended with something I'm quite happy with.

This one's more danceable than a lot of my music, although it's the shortest of the bunch. I tried to give it a sci-fi feel.
