Scientists say that solid things
are mostly empty space
Tiny motes vibrating
Distant and held in place
They don't really know how it works
They've watched things break apart
Fundamental forces, strange quarks
Fuse or remain inert
Isn't that…

A weird little song that I came up with ... do not try to dance to this ;)

sort of alice in wonderland or maybe you might read something else from it. that's up to you.
They've switched off all the lights
they're out to lunch
they've all gone to the party
they're having tea and scones
the hatter calls for silence…

Songcrafters.org did a "Live in the living room "festival recently...
The only music I can play in my living room these days is the odd lot of contemplative classical guitar, as anything else would wake up the family at night... :)

In this recording I sing and play violin. This is one track, one take, one musician.

Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..
And here it is..
My Harmonica was broken by the way. My…

weightless
you flew in my life
and unexpected high flyer
oh such a beautiful kite
all your colors shining light
so high...i followed you up
to where the daytime turns night
then we circled the sun
weightless with laughter
so joyous...kids on…

Trying, and failing, to get through the last Pink Floyd song that means something to me.
Sorry. ;(

Guitars: Alina Yudaeva
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar…

This one's for Johnny, who encouraged me to record this country-ish version, it's one-take, warts and all.

'm doing a course in Mandarin Chinese and mamahuhu is one of my favourite words. It means so-so (literally horsehorsetigertiger); "not so good". In this lyric I just allowed myself to whine about my situation; get it over with. I like the harmony…

Bookending the "Late December" CD, this song about my little girls on Christmas morning holds a special place in my heart. Thanks to Sam and Mick for making it perfect.
One Perfect Day

This RPM Challenge album had a bit of a ying-yang vibe to it. Compare "Marbles" to "Constellations" and "Fisher In The Sky" to "Tied By The Lies".
This wasn't planned - it just sort of happened.

Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…

I remember weekends thinking we could last forever
I remember everything that you said was so clever
I remember our hearts fading like a burning ember
I remember wishing that our ties would soon be severed
I remember why I left you

... again ... for Randy.
Memories of old magazines gathering dust on the shelves with things you never could let go of.
Dirty chess sets hardly touched. Empty bottles of cheap scotch you never could get enough of.
And it's a shameful world…

A quick little indulgence.
Got a new toy this week (valhalla shimmer). Just had to totally overuse it.
Now to eat some chocolate.

Right now it's just an instrumental...but we have plans to expand this into a song about a paranoid drug dealer. And no, it's not autobiographical!

An old one off of the never-to-be-released "Reminder of Winter in April" CD. There are just some days that you wake up and head off into your day knowing that you're "walking into the fire."
"Take with you only what you need to survive."

The bell-like instrument that starts this off is actually a steel pan being pitch-shifted to different notes.

instrumental. essentially a blues tune, from a universe where blue is green.

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

A tale of the lonely soul who is desperate to feel connection. The Asterisk Zero is the child who opens fire on fellow school children, with no understanding of the depth and complexity of the pain they are causing. This song is a soul searching…

There are a bunch of bass tracks going on here. Headphones help pick out what's going on. This one came to me leaving Taos on the drive back to Phoenix, coming down out of the canyon. I suddenly became conscious of a disturbing dream from the…
