Jeff Archer - Guitar Joe Lafata - Keyboard Bass Matt Stahl - Drums This is my personal favorite of the 5 jams.

The flute on this piece is done by a very gifted flute player by the name of Melinda Eckels. You will hear Melinda on any of the songs where I use flute. Her abilities have spoiled me so, that I can never use keyboard or my limited flute skills…

What seemed like the solution to a deficit of music after having been up for 40 hours - FillBot is available in 2 minute increments, inquire within.

I originally built this up to some cliche rocking acme but there is no need, so I peeled it back kept it raw. Thanks Su for the critiques on the levels. Since I am not participating in the 24hr album today, here I am in spirit! This track was…

you know them little voices in your head that appear sometimes, go away, come back ... ??? these are mine ... peace, rei

A rare interview with British composer Thomas Ades I did for Classical KUSC, Los Angeles. Originally aired: 11/15/2008

almost everything that i write starts on acoustic guitar... I wrote this one as I was driving... so by the time that I got to my studio, i really heard the whole thing finished (both lyrics and the music)... and it was more of a NY bluesy piano…

an exposition,traditional of the raga,bilaskani todi,transformed into a slightly ,dark ambient piece of music,exploring musical landscapes,with a scenario,as if for film music,which my pieces normally are.

I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

Finger style folk guitar with vocals... things are not always what they seem YOU WON’T FIND HIM AMONG THE PROUD MEN WHO INSIST THAT THEY ARE STRONG YOU’LL FIND HIM WITH THE MAN WHO CRIES OUT GOD FORGIVE ME, I AM WRONG YOU MAY NOT FIND HIM IN…

Just a mellow track I whipped up last night before bed. The field recording is from the Peruvian Amazon- I forget which habitat it was recorded in, but my guess is near bamboo... during the morning.

A song about not wanting to feel for someone that has treated you badly and left you behind. Despite having these feelings you still feel this person is above you. As they fly freely and you're left lost on the ground. When they come flying…

You're girlfriend is cheating on you. You know it but can't walk away from her

Merry Christmas!

hopelessness. if you succeed now, you'll fail later. i wrote this song on a banjo :) but never got it in the recording.

Guest vocals by Speak N. Spell

From the "Northville" project. I played acoustic and electric guitars and an ARP Odyssey synthesizer on this track.

Imagine that you are that lump of enchanted wood on the workbench.... and instead of Pinocchio you can be anything... maybe even a stratavarious... thanx to my friend Dave Edwards for the real violin trax

Pulled this one together in bits and pieces as time permitted. This has been one of my favs, lately! Doug Oh, yes, this is my loopless experiment, too!

This little ragtime number began life as just a snippet, written as background music for a home movie years ago. For the hard core ragtime buffs, I know this is not quite syncopated enough to be true ragtime, but hopefully its fun and bouncy…

This is a song I wrote with Lisa Purdy (who sings the harmony vocal) about the experience of depression. Jim Bouchard plays lap steel - I'm playing/singing the rest.

Just another song to help try help express myself while honing my limited skills

A Dark and Brooding rendition of and old Christmas song... yet hopeful... starting out subdued with and ancient vibe, and building in drama...

While my wife and I were travelling back down the coast of California (near Big Sur) from a vacation around New Years, we stopped at a turnout over a cliff, and took a bunch of video of at least 15 California Condors, flying and hanging out on…

I started off playing around with the piano and I played a part that sounded to me like the world gone crazy. From there I just had fun and let lyrics come as them may I guess reflecting some of the things on my mind. I finished the song or at…

Just to set the record straight I wrote this song before the movie Wall-E came out. If you've watched the movie Wall-E my song is basically along the same lines of how humans have messed up Earth. It's not a happy song if that's what you are…

Cover of the Brownie Song from musical Reefer Madness.

The harder remix of a song I did together with my sister. It's called the dirty mix because I have started working on it again after the crash, which means I'm layering on top of some mp3 bounces I had lying around :-) I'm still aiming for a good…

This one I might redo if I can ever find the spirit… It wasn't that much work though, so it should be doable. PS: Yeah that's me on the mic :-) Part of “The big crash of '07” album. Which is a collection of mostly prototypes of songs that are…

a musical landscape,evoked by flute and synthesizer.

exploring the musical landscape,between raga,fugue and ambient music

Represent where you from asap!!

about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.

The film was supposed to be dark and disturbing, something about a man who works in an antique shop who thinks a mannequin is making him kill people. Or maybe the mannequin really was making him kill people. I don't know, it was hard to tell from…

these first two songs were recorded, along with two others, as a soundtrack for a film tentatively called "Soul Destroyer". See more notes under"black ceasar".

I name each instrument track that I lay down when creating a song. Sometimes it's simple, like "Bass" or "Drum Kit," but sometimes I get creative. "Breath of Men" was the name of one of the synth tracks on this song, and I ended up naming the…

Here is another remix. A surprise for Sudara when he wakes up tomorrow.

"Lifeline" remixed

Just a piece I wrote going for a Celtic sound.
