I got infected by the spirit of National Motivation via Trend Month, and started writing and recording music for the first time in a long while. This is the first song that popped out.

This tune represents the hero of an RPG video game. Plucky, upbeat, and intrepid, it marches along with a gentle lilt, describing the heroic potential of our protagonist. Yet there's also a tender side to the main melody; during emotional scenes, expect to hear this theme repeated in an undertone.

Today we're having a giant Thanksgiving feast/talent show at my place. I decided to make a Thanksgiving themed Baltimore Club track to celebrate.

This is the main title theme for an RPG (as in, video game) that doesn't actually exist (outside of my head, anyway). It's an orchestral piece with strong emphasis on melody and emotion.

One or two MeFites have suggested I take a shot at a Bowie cover. Well.........here 'tis, played for laughs (obviously - I hope). The idea for the spaghetti garnish came from seeing the
cover of the original US Mercury version - the UK equivalent featuring a shot of Dave trying hard to look all coquettish in one of his mum's best
frocks. Offered up with apologies to DB, Ennio Morricone and fans of the
original track.

A quiet song about looking around for all the people you've misplaced over the years.
Guitar, piano, cello, recorded live using a field recorder. Vocals overdubbed later at home.
Unreleased from a new Tangemeenie side-project my wife Lori will eventually also contribute vocals to, called "The Wishing Well Divers."

A song for the Peter O'Tooles about a famous river in Northern Ireland, although it is conceivable that there is some additional, and less savory, meaning to the song.

An unfinished guitar-free thing I keep coming back to. Kind of old-fashioned I suppose, but it has a cleanness of line that appeals to me. Suggestions for improvements very welcome - I already know the vocal needs re-recording. But does the track modulate enough? Does it need to have more oomph?? It is really a wee bit linear and.......boring???

During a discussion concerning the eventual exhausting of all IP addresses,
fnerg asked "What is the function for IP consumption?" then remarked, "Hey, that rhymes!"
I liked the sound of that...

An Irish air for the Peter O'Tooles about the unintended and disappointed effect of too much alcohol on an amorous evening.

ok.. but what if I had played my guitar like I was closing my eyes imagining pretending to be metallica, (hey no lawsuits please some kind of monster, it truly doesn't sound like y'all at all, and only happened in pretend land. ("That's where I'm a pirate") playing silent night, while also playing a backing that sounds (a little tiny) "velouria" (ish)

A drinking song in waltz time for the Peter O'Tooles, telling a tale of semi-sober pub hookups; loosely borrowed from "Irish Lullabye."

Aether: in ancient thought, the elemental god of the "bright, glowing, upper air," the changeless substance that fills the universe above the terrestrial sphere. This is what I imagine traveling through it sounds like.
