When a friend is diagnosed with cancer, or any life threatening illness, we want to say something. But what do we say? This is a meditation on transience and emptiness, two central zen buddhist teachings.

another experimental piece. This time we each played our parts separately. I started out with wacked out guitar madness, then bass, then drums and finally some insanely spacey sound effects.
Enjoy...

a percussive instrumental, featuring a bell sounding wood stove, yes that is a burning instrument.

ok, volume is fixed, and the title too. Maybe soon I will mix it better or perhaps just move on to better things. Thanks to those who gave excellent advice on previous version.
and the #2 version has been deleted (actually this is #2).

I started out with a shape on my fretboard and kept splitting it 1/2 step down and came up with this orchestral electronic sounding riff. Then I slowly added the other parts one by one finally adding the wind to give it a sailing feel. Very cool.

This is an older song from 93 and 94. I have no way of editing it any longer as I borked my machine and lost everything. I dont know if I could ever get the same sound again. My singing is lackluster on this and hopefully forgivable.

This is just the beginning on this song. We haven't put the bridge in yet, it was a jam between Steve and I (Steve played that awesome Sax track, and about three guitar parts, organ..)It was just too much fun, but still... undone.

Simple little song. My view on how love really falls apart. Last verse is in my opinion an add-on. I wrote it after the rest, at the behest of someone who thought it was too "un-hopeful". It may have been a goood thing.
