Power outages, deadlines, and needing to leave home. A Girl Named Sam lends some beautiful vocal harmonies.

I was in a very dark place when I wrote this tune. Now I'm back in the light it sounds very self-pitying, but hey. From 2006 album Too many magpies

Just an old-timey thing I wrote. From 2006 album Too Many Magpies

Another song from the dark period. Don't get involved in messy affairs is my advice! From 2006 album Too Many Magpies

Written for my best mate's first son. From 2006 album Too Many Magpies

Yet another tune from the dark period. To be honest I'm never fond of my slower tunes. From 2006 album Too Many Magpies

Haitian rhythm bed with kalimba and Ney and synthflute. Rejected for its original purpose as being 'too jazzy' ;) The rhythmns and kalimba were old favorites that I had not adapted to anything. Added flute and textures for a website project…

Playing with reverberation and stretching, part of a larger ambient piece for the RPM2010 challenge. It uses heavilly effected and modified samples and VST Synplant.

My second ever foray into GarageBand inna reggae style. From 2008 album Do What I Gotta Do

My first ever GarageBand experiment. Not a good mix. Contains a sample of Bob Baker - please don't sue me! From 2008 album Do What I Gotta Do

A reggae version of my country/pop tune. From 2008 album Do What I Gotta Do

Late night, last piece from a Himitsu session. Very laid back. All electronic. Recorded on minidisc and rescued later from a random hard drive.

Hard dance track. Check out the bass line.

The title came to me when I saw what impending maelstrom was headed our way on satellite imagry. Lots of space in this tune...

This one is named after the resident cat who loved me dearly when I was a visitor. Now that I've moved in I'm pretty much only good for adminstering food and occasional petting- on the cat's terms of course!

instrumental of a flourishing nature with fun in its veins

A pop song without the 'ular' about the struggle of the addict and the feeling of obsession.

Sometimes a tune pops up right to left field. This is one of em! I backed it up with a stand-up bass track which I was intending to re-record before RPM submission but ran outta time.

bejewled casing flutter inside wink twitch and pacing on a moonlit wing turn... beautiful song by Juniper set to one of hotwheels most ambient boop jobs..NOW WITH CLEARER VOCALS

waco waco we're all on fire

another lively instrumental with mirth and subversion.

Named after a painting which was named after a lovely little daily ritual I share with my best friend.

tongue in cheek or in somewhere else

I figure if I keep trying long enough, I'll start channeling the great Django Reinhardt. Perhaps it's like squeezing blood from a stone but if I get a drop or two, I'm happy with that!

I live near the beautiful ocean. This is a contemplative moment viewing the ocean from a small bluff. Dobro and mando.

Written with thoughts for Nodar Kumaritashvili who died at the 2010 Olympics. It was a one in a million chance...

But don't answer yet, we will DOUBLE the offer if you call right now...

We play even number of games of backgammon and sometimes it ends in a...

Inspiration for this quick fun one came from Uncommon Ritual and other works by Edgar Meyer: I wanted to take a run of notes across multiple instruments just to have fun!

OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…

columbus skkkked alot of dkkks

this hamburger knows the score

an emmotional storytelling through instrumentalism. a whistle transcends the feeling of an explosive bowel movement. a noisy arcane reduction of bass jagged jarring hook and pursed lipped vocals

sixteen htz: as in the frequency of the majority of the noise in this epoch, reminiscent of kubrick. The frequency is thought to clear up mucus when played on a modified flute

waves that often crash though each other, meow a rythym guitar, hazy and recollected begins to putter in the mid morning. The howling of the wind grows as the guitar becomes frantic then frenzied in a driven pounding of the upper strings, loosely…

million billion stars up in the sky ive got some questions fer you whyve i gotta die whyve i gotta live at all when the world is so riduculous

theres no reason, no reason why this song is so catchy, so sexxxy, no reason at all. it doesn't make sense.

i lay my head down on my pillow outside i can see the evening sky you are just over that Western horizon and i dream that i can fly the earth shakes ' my water breaks we have given birth to something new i see you standing hear before me we…

i actually got to kidnap a real live drunk sax player for this instrumental kick in the face of traditional arrangement.

at heart a skitter bopping rythym guitar, overlayed with punchy kick drums and synthy mods at mid and low frequencies. Churreling winds spring through the upper atmosphere.

a monumentally simple instrumental. that might make you cry.

It's kinda nasty, kinda funny, kinda sad but kinda true.

Ad libitum live recording.

An underwater groove from 2005 recording session.

Written by Daniel Johnston.

it is a strange fetus isnt it doctor? slide guitar and maraca-bongo play in duet on same track.
