this one almost didn't make it. jess turned in heroic gtr+vox through a sore throat.

(um, what the title says)

the brightest comes inside

i like this song as a song but i have NO DAMNED IDEA how to arrange, perform, or record it. acoustic it's missing intensity. i can't make it work with drums and bass. this version with electric gtr and kbds is barely listenable. if there's one…

I'll get over this, There's no need to talk about it. As soon as you are gone I'll start to make myself forget. Just go.. There's really nothing left, you don't have to stay here (at all) I misunderstood your intentions here. There's still time…

A spacey acoustic song about your favorite something.

A simple song that speaks for itself. Started with a melody idea, a drumbeat to match, and then a bass line.

Live dance music from the spaceport bar and grill.

One of the five rituals.

Indigenous trance music for a future generation.

Background music for the Master, illustrating his unique style.

Drum and bass driven space rock.

Just a scratch demo of my attempt at Byrdsiness.

If the left don't get you, then the right sure will. A lost FTB track recovered from obscurity.

My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…

While writing music for Ron Wyman's film "Agadez" (featuring Bombino!) this sweet little Kalimba part had to get recorded... It sat on a drive for a while forgotten until RPM 2011 shed light on it... I'm thrilled at how well the Kalimba came out…

The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.

Cover of the theme from the popular BBC television series. Recorded on Boss BR-864 December 18, 2008. All instruments and drum programming by 64Guitars.

This was written during a time when I was away from home a great deal. My better half called me, and the gist of the conversation became the lyrics of this song. ER

Start it out with some ROCK.

Vocals: Paul T. Bathen Lyrics: Michael Taub Bass: William Fisher Guitars: Bill Gifford Drums: Gerald Langefeld Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann I'm glad this song finally got finished. I had lost the synth draft and with it…

This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine. This is Donna's explanation: =============================== Background: In earlier centuries, young men were captured by "press gangs" - often literally torn away from…

"The Ballad of Dan Forth and Jane Finch" Lyrics by Daniel Parkhill, Music by Daniel Parkhill and Joe Neff I could never be part of your Cinderella story. I could never go where all hope is gonee. I could never try to rationalize your living…

"I Was Born" Lyrics and Music by Daniel Parkhill Greetings to my only friend, sacrifical lamb. Ask me where my mind has been, ask me where I stand. Guess it isn't real, guess it doesn't matter much. Ash to ash and dust to dust, etcetera and such…

An art piano piece inspired by poem Kontrapunkti (Counterpoint) by the Finnish poet and author Eeva-Liisa Manner who was a frontline figure in the Finnish post-WWII modernism. You can find an English translation of the poem here: http://nordicvoicesinprint…

A noodle I started with my buddy Ron's wood drum box thing...

This one means a lot to me... Kinda twangy I guess?

Jeff Chamber's voice mail greeting

Falling Down C. Maiorano Travellin', my memories a time machine Re-living former glory and shame On a quest to find out what this all means No excuses, only myself to blame Cruisin' on a road to redemption Steer clear the potholes of…

Final Version If in doubt write more songs with Kazoo solo! and heckling! this is as close as i got to some hokum jug band

This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You? RPM 2011 -

Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year. I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…

AK wrote this after seeing a photogragh of an American Marine giving cookies to Iraqi Children Done live

This was a performance at a place called the Ranchbowl in Omaha, Ne nd yes it was a bowling alley as well. We had some friends in the crowd in this one, you might be able to hear them. :) I believe this was the first and only time we performed…

Another song James and I wrote together almost exactly half and half. Vocals: James Johnston guitars/backing vocals: Me other guitars: JC Leach Bass: John Schrader Drums: Kevin Corum

This is another from my former band 3 Ton Jack. James wrote the first have and I finish the last have. We seemed to be able to do that fairly well on some of our songs. This one actually got some decent air time on the local radio stations.

i didn't think that this had uploaded last night so it was a nice surprise to see the four lovely comments :) thank you... its hard to describe what this is about...a very personal moment...sometimes it replays in my memories...

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009. I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in. The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…

RPM 2011 No explanations left to give apologies over She wanted more than the story, but nobody told her I hear the insane are hardly worth the medication But she'd like the story just the same, for when she gets older It's not the end…
