Proof that a cheap electric guitar can be a substitute for a drum kit.

If Fuck Buttons did pop...

Again substituting a guitar for a drum kit but this time an acoustic. Structurally, a more straight-forward piece, sounding more like a band than some of the other Ca Va? Oui, Ca Va! songs.

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

I don't have the source-files for this one, but I think it was made in 2004, probably in the winter

A badly-tuned kalimba, a toy drum and a novelty stapler... Pop genius.

Totally fake rap-vocals from totally fake indians, you could tell from the cornflakes

Please someone jam on top of it. 97 Bpm.

First take guitar part that I just liked the feeling of, which sounds a bit like a haunting version of Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'.

Beat created from different strokes on an electric guitar, which is probably of no suprise. Pretty simple arrangement but a fairly strong melancholy-pop song.

The only song I ever wrote about an actual person I knew. She's heard it and she now sings all corny and gets the words wrong.

called this track 'dirty awakenings' because it sounds like dirty awakenings.

A gritty street anthem featuring Bugzee.

Recorded August 28, 2009 Details: Martin D1 (DADFGC - capo II), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge. After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…

Uncle Bobo needs his keys back, and he has a reward for the first person who finds them!

This is the audio version of my blacksmithing lesson which can be found at http://ironangelforge.blogspot.com/ This webcast covers more detail on the blacksmith's forge.

Nupitor, the planet of love. A Sluk & Xenos collaboration.

A field recording of multiple boomboxes playing doctored field recordings of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, played back at the Inner Harbor.

Another Blacksmith Lesson, this time with intro musics! This episode explains how to build a coal forge out of a plastic bucket and some cat litter. All of the written lessons, along with pictures to illustrate some of the lessons, can be found…

The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…

It's the "do no harm" mix. Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43". Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…

Written and Recorded August 29, 2009 Details: Martin D1 (DADGAD - capo V), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge. Late night improvisation in remembrance of my father.

Another quick little ditty. Wandering the no man's land between old timey and the 21st century

a song about a beautiful woman who loves guitars and being happy :D

Our dear friend Lynda is in hospice; we wanted to do a song for her - for all she has done for us. This is that song. k & w

Written and Recorded August 29, 2009 Details: Martin D1 (DADGAD - capo V), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge. I can't hide the fact that I've listened to Pierre Bensusan. Or that I've longed to return to Paris.

Completely done with my microKORG. The organ sound is a preset, but the rest of the tracks are customized programs.

I hereby name this the "bridge to nowhere" mix since it was the musical content of the bridge that I spent the most time on. If you've heard the song before, I've provided a shortcut video that plays the bridge from last night's version vs. tonight…

For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume. recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009. I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound. Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem. Because that makes much…

Mixed by Eniless.

Something I was playing around with when I was working on another project. Just the guitar and some vocals with finger snaps thrown in.

There's really nothing special about this... I didn't even mean to write it. I was looking for a (free) way to make music that's more... expressive. Rosegarden doesn't have enough in the way of dynamics. I tried a bunch, and I ended up with LMMS…

This one's for that little black and tan, Nahannah. Lyrics: I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey how'd you get so good how'd you get so good I said nahnay nahnay nahnay hey how'd you get so good how'd you get so good first thing this…

A tribute to Ted Kennedy. It was a little ambitious for part of a 24h project. Lyrics: the world was hurt today with news scary to say we lost another man right when progression began and I hate to see you go I just wanted you to…

Lyrics: Caged as a bird free will is such a bitch it's your responsibility to stay alive pay the bills etc, etc but how you enslave yourself whether or not you enslave yourself it's up to you

They were made for each other.

As another day ends, nightfall comes to the city. I dedicate this song to my home, México City. This tune was inspired by its quiet and beautiful side and the remnants of nature still present on it.

This was my first "serious" attempt to make something. Although very simple the final result was quite pleasant for me, hope it is for you too.

The last moments of an agonizing world.

Written by Sluk & Buzzy in 1988 Sluk - chicken scratch, first solo Buzzy - Drums, bass Frankie - vox Rod Guitar - second solo

Hey Kids! Bring some strangers... Uncle Bobo's bus is in car jail.

That's right! The first of my pieces with a title! It actually started as a little tune I whistled when I was getting my soccer stuff off after practice, and it hit me to record it, so I did... This is the outcome.

This is my second experiment with "song form". In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end. Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
