a cheezy piece I wrote & performed in college as if it were from a vampire musical. Guest vocals by musical theatre student Dina Harrison. Yeah, yeah, everyone's all about the vamps these days, but this was 1993.

This is the first song I've ever recorded using real mics instead of my laptops internal mics. Also, first time I've played a bass.

Been working on this for the last couple of evenings - very very far from complete. I have an idea for a vocal and lyric, but I'm wondering whether with some more work this might be fine as an instrumental or mood piece? Be cool if someone had a piece of film to go with it... Comments very welcome

This fast and dirty recording is from the mic on a Sony CyberShot camera. It's no audiophile's dream, for sure, but I just felt like getting some recent jaw harp tunes down to live video the other day, as I had a free hour in a big conference room. The room is definitely present in the recording. Anyway, video of this performance can be seen at
YouTube and
Vimeo.

Tight lil pop diddy about the time my little brother disappeared on New Years day and turned up two months later in the Dominican Republic.
This is the first full song I've done on my new computer, which makes me wicked happy.

A nerdcore track I was commissioned last year for someone who wanted me to write and record a track of Nyarlathotep aka The King In Yellow dissing the Dread Cthulhu. This joint does contain bleeped-out curses.

This is a crappy recording of a song I wrote some time ago about sertraline. It's me on the piano and JaiMahodara singin'. recorded on a mad old-school sony minidisc.

A weekend messing with Scanned Synth Pro yielded this spirited dirge.

A short song with some talking. Two tracks of ukulele, a drum loop, one canned organ blast, distortion. It's 8 degrees outside and the song reflects that. Recorded by The Grandma Sylvias, January 2010.

A bassy dubstep remix I made of the 80s digital reggae track "Bless the Selector" by Colonel Mite. Give me some feedback...

My new year resolutions included playing more guitar, playing with other people and ceasing writing rubbish songs - this affectionate pastiche of film noir and the work of a couple of old heavy rollers ticks at least a couple of those boxes. With apologies to Don and Walt.

I wrote this electronic track over the course of this evening, working on getting the right sound textures- I was going for a warm, low-fi fuzzy sound. Strangely, it just poured out of my head.
Inspired by Nathan Fake, M83 and Superpitcher.

A ridiculously happy bluegrass song, which you may recognise from the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack. Arranged for ukulele, bass and three vocal parts.

As a very wise
man (vs sun) once
told me, "I warned you about opening the
stupid vault. Once it has been opened, it can never be closed."
As it has been written, so shall it be done.

Ive ran a few gaming servers. A couple years back I was running a Counter Strike Source Jetpack Gun Game server. I needed a Connect song or Welcome/Join song so I recorded this.
