Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.

This was a sort of vignette of the various ways we might travel across the United States: automobile, trains, and planes.
Composed for winter percussion - the indoor percussion equivalent of marching band, with a dash of theatrics.

This song was written to celebrate freedom, actually, (the Russian at the end is one of the dudes from Freesound.com saying "sound should be free!") after a decade when I wasn't. Props to Shreya, who apparently is like me and will just not go…

This was the first song Shreya played me, and she said it came to her in a dream, and I believe it. It's flooring, and her vocals/acoustic guitar are relatively untouched. I added the other virtual instruments, and if you listen carefully, you…

this is a poem by Herman Hesse.
its a pretty simple poem but it means a lot to me.
its my first song in another language.

i'm not sure if i like this song. it has a ruff sort of flow and recording. i was thinking of adding some mellow synth backing to help it sound full but i don't want to start that now, so i wont.

More of a demo of an idea than a finished song, here it is nonetheless.

there are two reasons that i decided the cover this song of peters.
A. its easy B. it has a wonderful sense of irony

thanks jason for making music and letting me give it a try.

Answering the question of whether or not overdone reverb has been uncool for so long that it is now cool again. The answer: no, still uncool.

Another thanks to Desoto for giving this song some necessary atmosphere.

After I finished collecting and mixing all the trumpet tracks from Montgomeru, I was no longer sure which one of us actually wrote this song.

More Montgomeru on trumpet. The lyrics for this song were written by myself and Mike Connor back when we were Sloth House.
