I'm dating a girl halfway across the country. One day I saw the moon and realized that even though we were so far away from each other, we could both see the moon at the same time. The seemed pretty cool when I first thought of it... it still…

I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.

I wrote the music to this song while playing around on the piano, thought it sounded nice. But for a long time i left it like that cus I couldn't think of how to develop it.

This is my english version of Heysátan by Sigur Rós. It's not a direct translation but it's in principle the same song.
I know the guitar is a bit out of tune. The capo messed it up. Sorry for that.

Just a track... I wanted to make. Messing with vocals. I hate my voice a lot, but maybe I'll grow to tolerate it. Slightly.

This original melody idea was jotted down in October 2003 in Harmony Assistant, and I had written it thinking that someday I'd make it a real song with lyrics. While playing the tune on the computer, my daughter came in and said she liked it…

This is an instrumental celebration of numbers such as 4 and 650. If you do not like 4 and 650 you can pretend it's about your favorite numbers instead, I won't mind so long as you don't go around pretending that I wrote this piece for 33 or 550.

Filho Sumido is portuguese for "Lost Son".
Its my little bossa way of describing what its like to be away from the place I love, Brazil. Like a lost son. Someday I may make an english version - but then, maybe not. After all, its about Brazil…

I actually composed this entire song in a piece of guitar tab software called Guitar Pro. Then I exported it to MIDI, imported it into Reaper, and assigned better sounding VST instruments to each track. The purpose behind it was to see if someone…

Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.

a moody ethereal track. recorded straight from the laptop mic, so not the best, but had to capture it before it faded away.

Another instrumental. Several years ago I got a Behringer V-amp, and the first day I had it I wanted to play around with some of the odd guitar tones.
This was the result of that playing around.

Just a simple instrumental. My wife was working on a new piano style one night, and when she was done practicing, I decided to try my hand at it. I flubbed up the very first chord, but I loved the way my flub sounded, so I wrote a whole song…

The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.

This song was me seeing where I could go with some various chord changes and voicing. I was going for a rainy day in summer in the English countryside circa '72 feel for it. I kind of got it down, at least, my memories of it, which are foggy now…
