Field recording from SE Peru. Came across this pissed off spider monkey and decided to record a few minutes of this vocal bout. I'm not sure what elicited such a vocal temperament, and of course, at the time, I was worried it was a large cat…

This is a feature I produced for public radio from the Brevard Music Center in Brevard, NC this past July. Listen for the goose.

Its a song that was inspired by a dream I had. In fact.. it was the soundtrack to the dream. The ending is purposely left with a feeling of being not finished, as I can't remember how the dream ended. I hope you all like it :)

That twanging sound at the beginning of the song is me putting my acoustic through an amp with all knobs on 10. Acoustics feedback at 440mhz, which is an A note. The song is in A. It kind of sounds like a high tension electrical wire.

This song went through multiple iterations before coming out like this. It was a great song to play live. Did anyone catch the tip of the hat to "Fire and Rain" at the very end of the song?

This song was written long before it was recorded, though it stayed pretty much the same from day one of its creation until the studio about 4 years later. My favorite part is my guitar riffs near the end. My least favorite part is my crappy singing.

This one is a classic case of "Chasing The Demo". In other words, I am not happy with it. The demo versions had a ton more feel and groove. This one sounds rushed and doesn't do the song justice. Oh well, such is life when you are on a budget…

The close friend of mine who helped engineer this session said my gtr sounded like a swarm of angry bees. That's the best compliment I can think of. This was a mayhem producer when played live. I barely was able to keep it together in the studio…

Probably one of my better gtr riffs/rhythm parts in those days. The song is always borderline going off the tracks...but it was fun to play live.

Recorded July 2009. Song originally by The Black Keys.

A song about the conflict of apathy.

The journey through the static continues. This one changed quite a bit from start to finish product. I hope you all like it.

From Brazil: the title music from Animal Crossing.

4. The prog album's musical climax, with full orchestral treatment. I did NOT get the London Symphony to come to the session, alas.

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
