Written, more or less, after sitting in a car for four hours, after attending Laurie's Last.

Low-frills bass and piano piece. Not my usual fare (whatever that is), but still fun to create.

Written for the "My First Sing-A-Long Dictionary" RPM 2010 project. See myfirstdictionary.blogspot.com/ Daddy's away Posted abroad Sending home pay All he can afford Mummy pretends But I notice that something has changed The letters…

Finally a good cut of this one. Named after Daniel Burnham of Chicago's Burnham Plan, this song is about the downfall of western capitalism. I'm completely unprepared for it myself -- I have no idea what I'll wear.

Opening track, sets the scene.

A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them. You've been managing expectations Consultations end in tears Even if you're optimistic…

For String Orchestra. First performed in Grassington in North Yorkshire, a place of outstanding natural beauty. This version is computer generated I'm sorry but it sounds ok! Thanks

Lyrics @ http://wave.transmit-music.com/sinkingdrowning.html Wave 2010 (RPM)

Lorelei reaches her breaking point after years of abuse — via a failed attempt at an homage to Ennio Morricone (had he been Mexican).

Just a fun song for RPM 2010.

From RPM 2010. It's entirely analog synthesizer, drum machine, and my voice. Effects, too, of course. It's pretty repetitive, but I find it kinda catchy.

Of course, the title also reeks of jealousy because I couldn't create an IDM track even if I tried. So instead, here's a heavy, layered electronica track that reeks of faux glitchery and IDM-ishness.

So I just figured out that the EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro (the DAW I use) can also import SoundFont2 files, which I happened to have a bunch of from a previous life as a Cakewalk user. All the tracks in this tune were played using old…

Welcome to your first lesson in post-apocalyptic ballroom dancing for Martians and Manhunters alike. The track is not really cha-cha, but more like futurejazz, or 1960s mood music done by robots and mutants. 1-2-cha cha cha! First draft in 2006…

Track 12 from "They Are Killers" ... originally to be #11, but I decided this was a better one to go out on.

Track 11... I have to stop writing parts that I can't cleanly play.

lullaby featuring piano (but of course!) Notes: Today I learned how to add an insert effect to the master channel. The song was way quiet so it got boosted via a limiter. Hurray.

This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…

This is the most hopeful of the songs on the new album. I just decided one day to say "to hell with it, they're not gonna get me down!". ER

Playing with drum and bass loops.

Well i gues i was just sitting bored at home in new years even and i came up with the hook , then just worked on it on and off, and ended up with this. Hope you enjoy it :)

Emotions get the best of me sometimes and this is what comes of it.... Gotta pour out my heart. i loved you i did but i had to let you go and i chose again and again to let it die i died again and again a love so strong a pain so…

This time around it's the unique combination of bass clarinet and Bebot, the iPhone synthesizer.

How good it is when I feel whole, complete, not lacking anything at all. And i feel this way when I am with you... nothing needs to be said, i can just sit and be still.

An instrumental piece featuring classical guitar and bass.

I mostly wanted to make music with a funky clav line I'd come up with, so this is it. For the voiceover, I unabashedly used an awesome monologue by Ken Nordine.
