The Endless Mountains Music Festival Orchestra (EMMF) Steadman Theatre, Summer 2010 Recording/Mixing Engineer - Brad Rissmiller

xenharmonic flight with a nod to Ligeti

Another grungy rock number. Run through the valley With all the kings men You won't find the courage To try it over again When someone is missing Who says something is wrong You're not in my story So I'll make you a song I write a song about…

A grungy rock choon. I'm the piece that moves you The part without a name Broken piece that moves you Torn between fault and blame And the years go by so fast Like shooting stars in my sky And I gave you all of my heart Oh baby can you stay…

I wrote another song but the general reaction suggested that I best "scrap the puppy." So, I salvaged what I could and started over. This is what I got... I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S GONE

From Leaving My Body - out now!

An homage to BP, the largest corporate nest-shitter in recent memory. Big idea, less than stellar recording...

ostinati outta control

new mix..hope its not too shabby..a one man band..

this is this

An experiment with quarter tone tuning. I tuned my guitar: low E (normal tuning) A (quarter step up) D (normal tuning) G (quarter step down) B (normal tuning) high E (tuned D then quarter step down)

I wrote this today in a new creative process, writing a poem first, then a lead part and ending with an accompaniment. It's definitely a different sound: I was experimenting. Some of my other influences came through on this one. Also, I paraphrased…

This was an experiment today to try and write and record a song in 2 hours. It came out as a lullaby, I wrote it after a neighbor girl asked if she could have her ball back from my yard and I felt like an old man.

little fantasy

So i'm getting a bit better. wish I knew how to really play a guitar, but hopefully this faux playing will suceed in pleasing ears. No real story to this one, listen and enjoy.
