it is zajjy and offbeat. it is almost a tao of tonality. it is dizzy. it is not gillespie. do not follow its path too closely. it knows not its destination. generative music.

almost everything that i write starts on acoustic guitar... I wrote this one as I was driving... so by the time that I got to my studio, i really heard the whole thing finished (both lyrics and the music)... and it was more of a NY bluesy piano…

I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

Groovy Rolling Stones type rock and roll.

Interpretation of New Zealand Pines by John Vanderslice.

Really, I think this should have a full band behind it. That clearly wasn't an option in the time I had...

The first track I built, back when I was still full of hope for this exercise. I'm not convinced the hope survived it :)

Just a funky song about the world, economy, what we want, what we have.

Progressive Bossa Nova track

these first two songs were recorded, along with two others, as a soundtrack for a film tentatively called "Soul Destroyer". See more notes under"black ceasar".

"Lifeline" remixed

More music from the Hubert Selby Jr. documentary. The best thing about writing a bop tune is naming it.

This is a composition I recorded with "Jam Camp" in 2006 on the Flying Spot Records CD "Jam Camp Live". Trees just don't get enough songs.
