Wisians are those strange foreign people with odd customs, and funny hats. They love to party. Have you seen one recently?

Cthulahoop recording commenced after a peculiarly strong dream. Uses samples of a friend's digerido run through an analog filter. Definitely dream state.

Cthulahoop recording. Monkey, the base element of the human alchemy.

An ambient beacon for the weary soul.

At the beginning of a Himitsu jam session we had an impromptu trio of guitar, theremin, and electronic drums doing a snippet of this classic theme.

Himitsu jam piece. I am responsible for the synth slide trombone here.

Way back then!

A special song for a very special lady and her son

A very Australian love song.

More of theat life stuff that happens to us all at some point!

"Senses" is all about Spring where all our senses are sharpened and we look at all the beautyful things that rises before our eyes. Watch the video from Second Life too...very well made by Soundr Productions;o)

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…

Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…

Don’t Talk Much- Perhaps it’s time you got over your big, bad self and moved on.

your 4x4 is my four post bed/ the ruffles and patterns really effed up yer head/in a world of strip malls and choreographed tv brawls/ we grow like a wayward chia/ im so happy to see ya/ the texting is no touching/ and heavy petting means no munching…

Written by Daniel Johnston.

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

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…

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

Hard dance track. Check out the bass line.

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

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…

Tried to capture the spirit of the e.e. Cummings poem, didn't quite make it.

I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun. I…

This is a filler piece for this cool new CD I'm working on. I got this Clint movie thing working pretty good :) Think of it as our hero horsebackin' it across the plains in the land of the big sky. I think the piano has a bit of Robert Nichols…

From the Himitsu jam sessions. Electronic punk jazz or almost anything else. A group of 3 to 5 musicians meeting weekly to just play. All improvisation, no planning or themes, just what you bring. Heavy use of Kaos Pad and vocoders, as a…

two quotes off some TCM-movie and an edited Lady Gaga interview pretty much make up the vocal portion of the track. the rest was born from the fat beats i started out with.

I wrote this song after living in Milwaukee for awhile. The ghetto is a hard place to grow up and live. Things become normal there that shouldn't be normal. It's quite sad.

I wrote this song for a singer that used to be with the band. After you listen to it, you'll get a good feel for her. This is a Delta Blues feel.

I have lived in Milwaukee for six years now and I felt I had to write a song for the city. This has a Muddy Waters feel with harmonica.

This is a slow blues that was recorded live.

I had a falling out with a long time friend when I wrote this song. It has a Ray Charles/Aretha Franklin gospel/blues feel.

After hearing people day in and day out wish for the weekend, I felt the need to write a song to remind them that they were essentially wishing their life away. This music is funk/blues with a Meters feel.

A cover of a 2010 RPM Challenge song by A Beautiful Scene. Lyrics: Pouring Rain by A Beautiful Scene This year I thought of you, far too many times And it’s made me think Of things that’ve become over there and they… And how do I know…

still ain't done, but wanted to share progress. really grateful for the feedback. thanks!
