Another demo for the Gormenghast-y project. This one kind of takes a tangent.

I don't shout in my sleep but yeah I really like the beginning of the song but the second part the vocals kinda got sloppy. Must re do for a later release.

Year: 1999 Album: Land of the Lost Artist's description: Forgive me my voice! This may be the most difficult vocal part I have written and tried to sing - but the vocal dissonance IS intentional. Everything here (except vocals of course…

too nin sounding, i'm dissapointed in myself. haha. Actually I rather like that it turned out rather NIN sounding. Someday I will need you Someday I will teach you Somehow I will escape this

a driven micro-stomped chord progression on the accoustic five string accursed I(where did that e go?) followed by bass hornets, top it off with a skidmark of a special effect

Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified. This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up. I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…

kinda like big band...kinda like boom monster crash

Posted under the name "2" - an internet band. Genre: Rock/Pop: Pop Year: 2010 Album: Strange Danger Artist's description: Frank wrote the lyrics, sang, played bass and drums. Chris wrote the guitar and flute (sample) and mastered the affair…

In The Whiskey I've found a friend In The Mid Day I'm Drunk Again Laughing with one eye with my Lisa by my side For fecks sake every speck of whiskey a water of life lake Every speck of whiskey like a beautiful painting and for…

I wrote another song but the general reaction suggested that I best "scrap the puppy." So, I salvaged what I could and started over. This is what I got... I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S GONE

As most of our other tracks, this is a rehearsal gone right ;) and the song turned into a long improv session. Enjoy ;)

keyboard percusion + xenharmonic dulcimer + drum machine + warbly strings + saturated bass + field recordings

An older song, but one of my favorites.

This is the final updated version of Barely Afloat! Hopefully you guys like it, but comment, too, and let me know what you think! This song features All Nations Under's lead vocalist, Austin Lillard, during the second verse.

this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl. Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq, one diving board. Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW

This is my first serious attempt at making music. It is a short song about a moment of timelessness, where the present feels like the continuation of yesterday, and future is just continuation of the present. A day that will last for eternity…

has anybody ever really felt complimented by a drunk? its like your words mean nothing/ and you have so many of them/ do you ever ask yourself/ why do i go on/ everything i eat tastes like sand/ theres butter in my underwear/ i had a dream there…

simple accoustic guitar solo gone wierd. My microphone slipped out of its position in the middle of the song, drifting below the guitar, with the resultant flanging-like effect, i swear, the only effect on this track is compression, throughout.

[2010] Broken Teeth & Black Bones

With the help of a couple of the Lucas boys!

This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat??? Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for. Move along..............Move along.

A 1700 mile road trip culminated in a gig in Amarillo at the 806.

Sank a solid 17.5 hours into this one, so there won't be a complete album out of this 24 hour day. Had the structure floating around for a year; this is my first stab at it. There are definitely huge revisions in store.

The drug companies make up diseases so I can too. This is somewhere between Sixteen Tons and Coal Tattoo. I don't mean as good a song. I mean the subject... COAL FEVER Key D D D sus D D D sus D When I got the fever I was eight years old…

Arranged: 2004 Arranger: Doug Sparling I believe this is a traditional tune, but I'm not sure. I learned it from uilleann piper Seamus Ennis or Liam O'Flynn (or both). Midi demo written in vi on a Linux laptop. Piano music created at the command…

Written: 2004 Composer: Doug Sparling Midi demo written in vi on a Linux laptop. Piano music created at the command line on a Linux laptop. These are the first tunes I composed after switching from performing to writing. I don't own a piano…

Guitars/Keyboards/Pennywhistle: Doug Sparling Composer: Traditional Recorded: 2006 An old English/Scottish folk song. It's very well known, but has a great melody and I'm not ashamed to play it...

Pennywhistle, Low Whistle, Bar Stool (w/ drums ticks): Doug Sparling Bodhran: David Shaughnessy Composer: Traditional Recorded: 2005 Set of traditional Irish jigs. Don't ask me the names of them, I don't remember (are you seeing a pattern here…

Guitars/Mandolin/Pennywhistle: Doug Sparling Fiddle: Brent Hoad Bodhran: David Shaughnnessy Composer: Doug Sparling Recorded: 2005 Set of three tunes I wrote in 2005. Well, I guess they're hornpipes of sorts...

Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul. Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez. Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along. Enjoy..... filled…

Turn up the volume and adopt the air guitar stance.
