IV. While the space colonists are sleeping, the alien creatures descend on their camp. A battle between space bugs and the interstellar Orkin man ensues. The space pioneers beat a hasty retreat from the supercharged bugs.

Rasta Pirate pleas with colonial hottie to guide him to her treasure vault. Rough demo for now.

For this I wanted to create some longing sounding atmosphere. To create the (somewhat annoying) guitar part in the second half I used an ebow. " you stand a long time at the door observe the lighting on the floor you are not welcome anymore no…

This is pretty experimental for me, and even I feel it is way out there. This is a chronicle of a man descending into madness after discovering the truth in the words he has said and deeds he has committed. Really to me it sounds like cheesy…

Sudara sent me a guitar piece he was working on... So I added a song. And it didn't turn out at all as I expected.

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

Short tidbit written for my boss boss.

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later

This is a collaboration between Endicott Road and Sister Savage. Hope you enjoy it. ER

Worked on this track at the end of January.. Then the RPM came and it did not fit with the other tunes... so I decided to get off my behind and upload it for you all to enjoy. Takes place at the zoo, the plot is, of course, two chimps in love...

My instrumental compositian for the great state of Louisiana.

My song honoring the only man lost during the journey of the Corps of Discovery.

My song about the hazards of the Missouri River. A snag is an above water branch and a sawyer is a below water log or branch. Hence, "Tom Sawyer," from Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens).

My story song about an indian site on the Missouri River near Boone county Mo.

My story song in honor of Pierre Cruzatte, the one eyed fiddler of the Corps of Discovery.

This is a live in the rehearsal studio recording direct to Zoom H2 of our band Airport Seven. See myspace. The "playa" refers to the desert where Burning Man happens. If that's news to you - google it and go.

The first version. This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand. ![mbira](http://img.skitch.com/20090309-qan7jaha9gtbge23e6d3aqh2td…

This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it! This is now…

There's a whole mythology woven into this song, and hence into the album, and the weave is fine and warm.

I watched as she walked back across the border. There was no one waiting to question her. she turned back to look at me from the other side of the fence. I couldn't decide which side of the wall I was on. Goodbye my Penelope.

Folky song about a mans life at sea. written a few years ago.

This was done using a vocal track that Imogen Heap put up. This is my music to back that up. 90% of it was done using a roland guitar synth, the gr20

*Missing one person is worse than missing everyone. "Julia" by* **_Eurythmics._** *Scratchy records remind me of rain.* **_Gary Numan's_** *"The Seed of a Lie".* When I awake, you are gone And the poison memories bubble up, one by one Of…

This is a track from our album "Fallen They Be" submitted as a part of the RPM Challenge 2009. Guitar - James Blair Guitar, Drums - Jason Hannah Vocals, Keyboards - Casey J. Payne

*Rap/Hip-hop with glitchy electronic beats.* It's 20 years since this started up Let me tell you how it was: a 4-track Radio Shack tape deck Hissing overdubs I tried to get it down Record what I had to say I thought I had all the time…

A song that ended up in an entirely different place than from where it began. It was meant to have a dark 'David Gray' kind of feel, but ended up being the love child of 'Love and Rockets' and 'Stars on 45.'

A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…

This song has been hobbling around half-written in my psyche for eons, and it took the RPM Challenge to finally finish it! Like many of my generation, my first peek into the world of women (and what they looked like under their clothes) was National…

didn't know what to call this track, but once i came up with a title, it wrote itself! i heard on npr about how all this junk of ours is making outerspace around Earth a very dangerous place to be. this track is trying to reflect that danger.

this was one of the hardest to do, the 2nd half was great, but i hated the first half and was stressing with getting it to gel. so i scrapped it completely and started over. i think it was a wise decision.

you are like the rain that falls with the snow or is it the other way around i dont know all i know is i love you and cant get above you it is driving with no place to go the muscle and the bone i find that keeps my heart in line just…

Lyrics: A lazy hound lying on the couch sleeping the day away The sunlight comes pushing through the curtains warming the old dog's face The savory smell from a wood burning stove holds you while you awake Brew some tea while others emerge…

"In a reformatted world with deleted people, there are still enough dead links that some individuals might indirectly be aware of the existence of those deleted. To everybody else, they'd seem either spiritual and/or mentally imbalanced…

Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…

An instrumental song about happiness and puppies and vampires and possibly vampire puppies.

sung by my family for my mum's upcoming birthday

Guitar and vocals. Kind of the opposite of last years 'Honey, Why You Stay With Me'.

04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb. Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…

It aint like no ones done this before But how can you tire of beautiful chords In the fifties In Tenessee Where my love was born Two young men upped and crossed the yard both cold cos it was rainin hard. One of them turned said…

The first beat I ever made, first song I produced :) Please forgive the ill advised symbol.

too many woman have been abused, mostly by people they know. This song is for them. Eyes and ears have been shut for to long now.

The ninth of 9 demos I recorded in Jan. 2009 for the upcoming Spooky Garcia album that Rob and I are recording for RPM '09. I would have posted the eighth demo I recorded for the album but it sucks.

The seventh of 9 demos I recorded in Jan. 2009 for the upcoming Spooky Garcia album that Rob and I are recording for RPM '09.

There was a contest. I entered. I made the Top 100 and the Judges' Picks lists. Looking back on the whole thing, I'm REALLY glad I didn't win. It was the "Public Radio Talent Quest." The idea was to find the next great public radio host. Three…

More testing. An improv demo for the Breaking Light project for the RPM Challenge.
