Dan built this one to test out new DAW software, then Kevin added the middle bit and recorded the different bass part, then Dan added a guitar lead, then Kevin exported it, changed the name, and added it to the album.

Another cat-inspired MIDI piece. RIP, sweet little Willow. :(

More MIDI, more FL Studio, more Cabbage Face.

I love MIDI, I love FL Studio, and I'm fond of Cabbage Face. :)

Looped and mangled field recording of my coffee grinder, toaster, and environs. I sneezed during the recording, so of course I had to use it. :)

"Cabbage Face" interpreted as a MIDI chorale.

Another short, cat-inspired MIDI piece. This one is based on Cricket's cute little tippy-toe dance. :)

Short MIDI piece inspired by one of our sweet cats. :)

Tony H. - Lyrics, Vocals Mark R. - Guitar, Keys Jesse C. - Drums, Recording, Mixing Kevin Craig - Bass Once again, the title is the chord sequence, mostly. The "chorus" is actually A-C-E-F, in 7/4, because of a copy-paste "error" introduced…

Leana J. - Lyrics Kevin Craig - Programming, Mixing Leana faced down the blank page and kindly sent us 4 songs worth of lyrics. We only had time to finish two of them, but the other two will hopefully see the light of day at some point…
