I've always adored the vibe of Twin Peaks. This is my attempt to capture how it makes me feel. The original is by Angelo Badalamenti. --- I started by recreating the sounds of the instruments from the original recording. I spent hours…

All hands. This is the captain. We are slowly being pulled deeper into the zone of darkness by an unknown force. We're going to apply all available power into one giant forward thrust in the hope it will yank us out of the zone.

 I had a very simple goal for this track: 10 minutes of four-on-the-floor kick. Outside of that, anything goes. Have fun, don't worry about where it's going, etc. --- ![](http://skitch.sudara…

This chord progression is a Bach rip-off. I forget which piece...I've been studying Bach with a fantastic teacher for a few years here in Vienna. So it's some piece we did a couple years back. It takes me a couple months to really "master…

This is my cover of the Twin Peaks Theme, "Falling." I've always adored the vibe of this series. This is my attempt to capture how it makes me feel. The original has music by Angelo Badalamenti and lyrics by David Lynch. You'll have to be…

Instrumental Acoustic Guitar. Written in 2010 for the wedding of a very good friend of mine, Jason. It was the processional, playing while the wedding crew walked down the aisle. Played it with montgomeru (who also wrote the recessional…

Just a simple humble ditty, one of a handful I've been playing on the piano lately. I haven't been in the mood to do much recording in the last months — or more specifically, haven't been in the mood to flesh out and arrange tunes. So this…
