The events in this song took place on and around an interstate outside of Detroit, MI named Seven Mile Highway.

Cover of the Glen Hansard track from the movie "Once".

I was lost for a chorus, and a title. Then...Bruce.

This was supposed to be keyboard only, then the gtr part came and just kind of took it over. You should hear the original demo, it is very, very different. I happen to really like this song though, and for some reason love my little keys solo…

This was supposed to be a lot heavier and darker, but it sounded totally cheesy. I lightened it up, added piano and did about 11 different versions of the vocals for this, each one with completely different lyrics and melodies. The end part was…

A chance gtr line while I was checking recording levels turned into insta-song. This one came together in about an hour.

So I find this riff on a older cassette of me noodling around. I liked the riff, and decided to do a song with it, semi-dronish, which really means literally no changes, just the riff with some overdubs for color. It was also an exercise is subtle…

So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…

Yes, I am dark sometimes. Aren't we all? Don't listen to closely, just turn this one up and lose yourself in the tones.

the delicate work of the heart and the hands,meetings with ones selfs,singing sublimed songs,the plainchant of the title,taken to new areas,realising isness in the creative process...

hybrid of funk hipop jazz elements . Leave comments , thanks .

shit is realll rough

This track is off my eponymous album from 2008 - lots of richly layered vocal harmonies, I was still learning how to record in Audacity at the time, so it's a little bit shakey, but I think it's a solid tune nonetheless.
