My first attempt at singing. [2003]

Featuring the Transcendent 2000 monosynth. Yummy. [1997]

Commissioned for a horse dance. [1997]

Time flies like a banana. And also by helicopter... [2003]

Someone lent me a drum machine. I never managed to like the drum sounds, but the tune's ok :) [1999]

A sunny house on a computer-generated cartoon hill. [2003]

Obviously inspired by Steve Reich (in the afternoon). The song would have been longer, but a nasty hard disk failure took out the original wavs. An alternative title could be Techno-dog Eats Homework. [2001/2003]

An earlier version of the Soothing Mad Apple classic. Included here for completeness. [2003]

Summer rain, an open window and a distant guitar. [1998]

Commissioned for an intense display of T'ai Chi meditation. Mmm. [2004]

This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?

This is one of the first recordings I made that I was genuinely happy about and satisfied with. Like all my recordings, there's definitely stuff I'd change about it (namely the drums and drum tones) but I love the composition itself.

I wrote this one years ago but didn't record it until recently. The piano notes in the middle are probably my favorite notes in all my songs.

I wrote this song using a looping pedal. Pretty fun song to play. Maybe one day I'll revisit and elaborate on it a bit.

A light, kind of bouncy jam. Lots of production mistakes but still enjoyable.

I wanted to write an electronica type song, and I came up with this organ riff and took it from there. I really like the interplay between the bass, organ, and strings during the chorus. One of my favorites.

Rocking acoustic guitar, great chorus.

I like the way this song builds and goes on a journey.

This is probably my favorite song of mine. Somewhat long, but I think it flows real well and builds in each section.

I really like the guitar interplay in this song. And I love the riff at the end.

These are tiny little pieces for orchestra.. I will be uploading all of them, this one is the first

I have many musical influences, one of which is that thick Brian Wilson / Beach Boys harmony. While my songwriting is seldom as sunlit and carefree as his, this still should be considered a respectful homage.

It's the story of someone who played his role with dignity and with responsibility all his life, yet toward the end of it he has to wonder if it was all in vain...

A fable of the old west, the sins of the father cast on the shoulders of the son.

If it's really love, it doesn't matter if you're in a Park Avenue penthouse of "some old efficiency coffin built for two..."
