This is the first piece that I recorded - just after midnite on Feb. 1st. with Anne Cozean in mind as vocalist. Anne and I have worked together before and she delivered a great performance across two tracks. I was thinking Portishead going in…

I recorded a four track synth piece with Chris Cochrane in mind. We went into my studio together and he laid down 4 tracks of electric guitar in response to my piece - which I later edited and mixed.

Frequent collaborator Bryn Corbett aka Particledots sent me manipulated electric piano tracks and I a returned a mix and stems with multiple Pro-One tracks from which he created the final mix. He wields a mean blender.

Fourth song by Martin Fox My first shot at really going for it on vocals. dont know if i quite hit the bullseye. this song is a modern internet love/revenge tale .

Second song by Martin Fox Was on a Pete Townshend kick lately. this one came to me as i was listening to the random recordings on my phone. still not happy with the vocal mix. we spent a lot of time tweaking too.

My attempt at writing a bluegrass tune and an opportunity to try my hand at some flat pickin' ... loosely based on a friends experiences growing up in a small town in the prairies ... where everything is flat ... you know, a place where you can…

This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.

For that matter, who says everything in DADFAD has to be dreary and sad? D minor is, after all, the saddest chord.

...or "Lullaby for a teddy bear from Nysa." Tuned to DADGAD.

I think I had just hiked at, or was planning on hiking at, Rattlesnake Ledge when I wrote this, so...there you go. Tuned to DADGAD.

First song written this year... and the closest thing to a reasonable but non-standard tuning I used (just drop D)
