One last re-recording before the RPM Challenge craziness begins. This was written during Spring Break in 1998 and recorded as part of my fake-late-RPM attempt in 2007. I like this song a lot, but I've never been quite able to get it sounding…

This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…

This is a brooding rock song that climaxes with an anguished rant. Feature intricate guitar work and an aggressive musical crescendo.

A synth pop punk song with a cartoony twist. Energetic, up tempo, and full of surprises.

No rhyme, no reason, just a colony of mournful machines piping their clangorous, grinding sonorisms at each other across an barren electronic landscape. This will also be some of the source material that I will process later into something…

a 13 minute improvisation I played on a newly tuned Steinway grand piano at my Church. The only audience was my Zoom H2 – which is probably good since there are a few glaring “misses” in the performance. I love the joy of just playing but it does…

a multi-track improvisation on fretless baritone tuned electric guitar in somewhat classical Indian style tuned on the fly in just intonation.
