Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country.

The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…

This is just an untitled electronic/dance/house thing I started a couple weeks ago and a little stuck on what to do next with it. Any ideas? Also uploaded to Kompoz.com to see if there's anyone out there that would like to add to it.

A song about how I don't follow, or care about, fashion or trends.

Wrote this little piece from 7/14/09 to 7/15/09. A lot more metal than I'm used to playing. Played on my broken-neck Epiphone semi-hollow.

A quick transitional piece - sort of a hybrid of ambient drone and louder rock.

So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…

I decided to focus by timeboxing the amount of time I spent on drums, bass and lead into 30 min sections based on the pomodoro technique. The idea was to spend 5 mins picking the sound for each part, then 25 mins making some loops with it to arrange…

A collaboration between me, Randal Pflum and Dayton Neely. Comparisons made by reviewers on Garageband.com to Rush, King Crimson, Yes and even Mike Oldfield, you will have to listen to the whole thing to hear the last one.

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.

Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

This is a little riff I've been carrying around for a few years from my Nozomi Phoenix days in NYC. A dreamy sequence, that reminds me of a Grimm tale.

This is another version of the same tune used in Dana's Song. I just changed the lyrics. It was created back in 1999 with the help of Alontoner K.Scot.

If Berlioz would've heard this piece.. he probably would have said that it was too vulgar (lol) too much percussion... but oh well I got very excited when I made this one... the tempos are not very well because its very hard!!!
