Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

This song is one that got left on the cutting room floor back in early 2005. It's fun to play, but the drums are almost too mechanical (they're real) for my taste. I thought I would finally let it out of the attic, even though it doesn't have…

I worked on this one off and on through '05 and '06. I did numerous demos of it (just me and an acoustic) before finally recording it proper. Originally I intended it as a slower, more ethereal (read:reverby) piece, but it just wasn't cutting…

Well, this one is b***s to the wall rock and roll, gfox style. ;P
I just wanted to do this basic loud chunka-chunka riff with the thumping kick-drum. However, the refrain (this song has no chorus) was something that I really liked singing. For…

a friend of mine recently talked about suicide, needless to say i was left kind of emotionaly everywhere so i funneled it onto a page.

this music is a reflection of my darker side, i wrote it when i first became a vegan and took mind to animal rights. i guess everyone has anger somewhere in them.

this is the first song i ever wrote it was at a time in my life when i first understood what it was like to loose a friend, though he only moved away i still feel like hes much more gone

This is the 2nd song of a concept trilogy about zombies.

From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow

The stars leaned down to whisper
and fell out of the sky.
And darkness streaked with wonder
now pours into my eyes.
And though the night is warm,
cold waters move to fill
dark pools in rocky shorelines.
The sea is black and still.
So now I stand…

Going through the various things I had kicking around before the RPM Challenge and before I upgraded to Live 8, I found this unfinished Live 7 thing...
Frenetic fun.

Not really thrilled with this one, but it does mark the first that I've used a time signature other than 4/4 (combo of 7/4 and 4/4 in different places).

Electronic.
This is the instrumental version of a song that I never did record the vocal to. Someday.

I came up with the idea of a satellite playing
music floating by. I hope you like it:)

Another catchy piece of synth music.
I did this piece some time ago. It was originally called "Virtual Music 4", as it was supposed to be part of a suite.

Someone lent me a drum machine. I never managed to like the drum sounds, but the tune's ok :)

Obviously inspired by Steve Reich (in the afternoon). The song would have been longer, but a nasty hard disk failure took out the original wavs. An alternative title could be Techno-dog Eats Homework.

This is one of the first recordings I made that I was genuinely happy about and satisfied with. Like all my recordings, there's definitely stuff I'd change about it (namely the drums and drum tones) but I love the composition itself.

I wrote this one years ago but didn't record it until recently. The piano notes in the middle are probably my favorite notes in all my songs.

I wanted to write an electronica type song, and I came up with this organ riff and took it from there. I really like the interplay between the bass, organ, and strings during the chorus. One of my favorites.
Uploaded
I like the way this song builds and goes on a journey.

This is probably my favorite song of mine. Somewhat long, but I think it flows real well and builds in each section.

The title comes from the realization that we are applying a ridiculous amount of machinery to make or alter noises that came from a simple source like a vibrating string.
This is first experiment using some of the sampling magic learned from…

I have many musical influences, one of which is that thick Brian Wilson / Beach Boys harmony. While my songwriting is seldom as sunlit and carefree as his, this still should be considered a respectful homage.
