This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques. Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is. The piano, bass…

Well and truly launched

From the Angie Fights Crime/AM FM Dreams split album "Faiths" (2010)

Take some words, do some numerology and then some math, take the riff of the numbers that came from the numerological words and then apply some Pi functions to the volume steps inside a tablature program then mess around some more inside fruity…

For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom! ** this could really use a tasty melody to go with…

Improvisation on Gon-Bops congas, while thinking of future days gone by. 4/4 180bpm. LYRICS A cool wind brings the fall And the season starts to change. Outside the sky's steel grey. Inside my heart is too. And I don't know how to…

This is an old one...just wanted to share it. Do you feel the tears fall fall from heaven gathering as puddles at your feet does it stain your shoes? if i stay long...no I won't i won't bare it any longer do you feel the heart sigh…

Shaken, not stirred please. Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.

The Dutch painter Mondrian was apparantly a fervent dancer to Boogie Woogie and that image stuck because he seems such a stiff guy otherwise. So I thought that would make a funny subject for a dance-tune. Normally I wouldn't make a song about…

04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb. Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…

One of the first electric jam things I did after getting back into recording about the end of 2006
