Anthem of the Mind
More massive amounts of Massive. I think it builds up nicely. Let me know what you think.
Bury It All (QOTSA raffle request)
Based loosely of Queens of the Stone Age's "Suture Up My Future" [more inside]
Christmas in July
bouncy, spiky little ditty about getting away with murder. Part of a series I'm working on. I'll post the other one tomorrow if y'all enjoy this one. [more inside]
Erosion
I bought a cheap casiotone keyboard. I have to figure out how to learn to play it, but in the meantime... drone!
one note
Based on The World Famous' challenge idea in this thread, to make a song using only one note. [more inside]
Teen Drugs
Pretty self explanatory. Drug teens doing teen drugs. [more inside]
Mike Oscar Mike
A synthy Mother's Day to all!
Barndance (gettin' silly)
I think this is the first song I've posted with a guitar solo not done by Dagosto.
Photographic (Depeche Mode cover)
Some synthpop kids cover Just Can't Get Enough. Others cover Photographic. I'm in the second group. [more inside]
The Flank of Bridenstein
I had a bit of fun with this: it's about a relationship gone wrong. I believe that the dual bass part is rhythmically interesting. Double bass and synth bass rhythmically intertwine and are coupled with a synth trumpet. There may be some Brian Eno influences a la The Drop.
My album is available for $5 download at CD Baby: The Dividing Range.

Everyone I Know
Resistor celebrates springtime with a lush new single, "Everyone I Know."
This hook-laden dance-pop number is seasoned with Resistor's cynical charm, pondering whether originality can exist if a person is merely a product of his environment. Of course, the existentialism lurks beneath many layers of burbling synths, glitchy drum machines, and boy-girl harmonies. [more inside]
11 Day Tripper
Silly instrumental in 11/8.
Tiktaalik
One fish was the first fish to walk on land, one fish was the first fish to breathe the air. [more inside]
If You Don't Cry
"If You Don't Cry" by Resistor (originally performed by The Magnetic Fields).
Midnight Harbour Dance
Victoria, BC's inner harbour is the perfect place to go after-hours on a clear night, put on headphones, and dance your face off by the water. Here's a song in honor of silly summer times. [more inside]
Underfoot
This was a fast and dirty demo I made up to teach my band the song. Kinda like how it came out, so I figured I'd throw it up here. Nice little garage rock tune. Nifty synths. [more inside]
Resistor - Keep it to Yourself
Another bit of synthpop metacommentary in the form of the funny-cause-it's-sad-cause-it's-true inner monologue of a cynical artist. [more inside]
Lines
I wrote the music for this last summer, and I eventually intend to re-record it with lyrics once I finish them but for now I'm putting it up here as an instrumental and looking for feedback from the MeFi community.
Made In The Image
New and much improved mix of a song from a few years ago. Kinda rock-metal-electronic fun with a pretty good helping of vocal harmonies. Critique away!
Asteroid Hidden in the Shadow of the Earth
Sure, the world could end Friday. Or Saturday. Or some other Friday 100,000 years from now. 7 minutes of instrumental contemplation, as it flowed in from the sky, last May. [more inside]
Call Me Luna!
This has techno stuff arguing back and forth with pianos, a theme that's conflicted about what meter it's in, a cadence that keeps trying to change the key down a whole step, and ponies. Plenty of ponies. But I think this is my last Luna project for a while now!
Wonderful Christmastime
My take on the McCartney Christmas tune. [more inside]
Optimizing Performance (Antag Bounce)
A bit of synthy iPhone silliness [more inside]
14 Baktun
14 minutes of improvisation from Carbon 7, heralding the end of the Mayan Long Count. [more inside]
Narcissist
The 11th entry in the monthly series of homemade synthpop singles from Resistor, "Narcissist" does what it says on the tin. [more inside]
Three
Carbon 7 again, from last June. This one sounds more like an actual song than about anything we've done, so far. 16 minutes of spontaneous creation. [more inside]
Prelude to Nightmare Night
A minor-key, rondo-like composition for piano, bass, percussion, and various squelchy electronic bits. Hail the coming of Princess Luna! [more inside]
Resistor -- All I Wanna Do Is Strum My Ukulele
A simple electro-ukulele ode to solitude and song. [more inside]
Heroes Run
A story of an unexpected journey, and a choice to make; part rock opera, part... wolfdog, I guess. Lyrics inside! [more inside]
Escape from San Clemente
Upbeat dancey-trancey music for driving fast and far away (from wherever you want to be far away from). Never mind the meter, you can dance to it!
I'll Refuse
Bushy Tails
Short, fun and bouncy, melodic, dancelike-although-odd-metered, all electronic instrumental. Sort of like a lobotomized Dream Theatre interpreted via Kitsune2 would be one way of putting it. [more inside]
Windmill
A song from probably january 2010 about the huge windmill on my former college. If you haven't been up close to a windmill, you're missing out on the friendliest giants out there. I am currently without any instruments so I am experimenting with the synths on my computer so I pulled up this old guitar/voice song to play with. [more inside]
East Harlem
Still on the horse, this time with a Beirut cover! This one took a lot longer, 3 nights of iPad work. Beirut usually has a lot of brass instruments, so this one was a real challenge, but I'm proud of how it came out. [more inside]
Dione
Electronic instrumental, 80's style arpeggio, loud bass and an extremely simple melody. [more inside]
No Surprises
I really have no explanation for what I was thinking on this.
Resistor - Insecure
This one is a sparkly nugget of synthpop about the bitter, self-sabotaging adolescent lurking within all of us. Or at least within me. It's classic Resistor. [more inside]
Obstruction
This is what happens when a wimpy acoustic guitar player writes a song entirely with a vintage synthesizer. [more inside]
Can I Register Online Please?
This started as a little tune I made up a couple years when I was trying to register for classes at my community college using their online system which wasn't working. All the parts on this track were recorded by me using my friend Ian's microKORG XL.
Beautiful Bidet
A short song about the positive and then the negative male relationships in my life. Features classical guitar, reverbed out bowed banjo, auto-tuning, synth, french doors slamming. This is the latest in a string of versions of this song, having trouble finishing it. [more inside]
Resistor - Vincent van Gogh
A homemade synthpop tune about the myth of the meritocracy and the pain of being an artist without an audience, like something Stephin Merritt could've come up with on a dreary evening in an alternate universe where The Magnetic Fields never got popular. [more inside]
Resistor - David the Gnome
This is an electro version of the theme song to the children's show "The World of David the Gnome," which aired in the US on Nickelodeon from 1987 to 1995. [more inside]
You've Got To Titan Up Your Kuiper Belt
Astral Funk from my improv trio, Carbon 7. This is what happens when you let the drummer set the theme of the jam. [more inside]
Bellwether
Ethereal and Haunting, but you can dance to it. [more inside]
Clean Wave
My attempt at a modern new wave instrumental, and a new way of recording with Ableton. [more inside]
Resistor -- Lighting and Distance
A new synthpop song from Resistor about all the lies we agree to believe in so we can make it through the day. [more inside]
You Still Believe in Me
A synthesized take on the Beach Boys by Resistor.
Sun Doom
Quiet, loud, low, and high bleeps. Plus drums.
(Unfortunately, it sounds weird on built-in computer speakers. The toms and bass get chopped out almost completely. Maybe skip if you don't have headphones. Sorry, guys.)
Resistor -- Ingenue
A minor-key waltzing synthpop lament of being unemployed and underappreciated. [more inside]
Resistor - Video Games
Resistor vs. Lana Del Rey [more inside]
