As the unimaginative title suggests, this is my entry for the April MeFi Music challenge. It's an ambient type of thing, largely made from reversed guitar recordings.

Sometimes you write something, and then forget you've written it, and then find it again while cleaning your computer.

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!

A minor-key, rondo-like composition for piano, bass, percussion, and various squelchy electronic bits. Hail the coming of Princess Luna!

A story of an unexpected journey, and a choice to make; part rock opera, part... wolfdog, I guess. Lyrics inside!

For solo piano, played by a nonpianist.

Here's me bashing away on our crappy piano, from this past winter.
It's a song about blindly following things.

Well, this is my cheater because Let Down is my song. But it is turning out to be difficult, so I've been working up a few others to play when I get pissed off at Let Down.

A piano motif and followed by a remix of itself at 1:20.

A third time, recorded straight to SoundCloud on my iPhone. I keep playing this song over and over, but this is the best version yet anyway. My piano is very out of tune, though. Need to fix that.

A bit of mellow but bight piano-based pop in 6/8, ostensibly about getting out of your head and into your life.

Why is that so many of the people that mean the most to me died before I was even born?

This song describes my passionate dislike for the must-be-done activity that nobody likes to do: The Dishes.

Piano, flutes, and pads, downtempo. Worked over the Christmas break while avoiding family. Feedback appreciated!

Two science majors taking a keyboard (piano) class. The two decide to create a piece that attempts to combine randomness and coherence.
Rules:
1. There is a set motif for each segment. The motif is prewritten. It's decided who must play it at each time. The other may play it, but may also rest or make something up. Made up melodies must use whole tones, half tones, or tritones but not more than 1 of the 3 in one segment. The conclusion and intro are prewritten for both players.
2. You may play the assigned motif in any key you desire. The other player is not told which keys.
3. Tempo, time signature (usually 5/8 or 7/8), structure, and dynamics are pre-determined.

Submission for this month's "record a track before you put on your pants in the morning" challenge. I sat down in my underwear at 7:35am to put together a song about what might have happened if I had sat down
without my underwear.

Work in progress for the next songfight.org topic, which is "has been for years." I recently learned about songfight and thought it would be fun to try it out.

Here's a new recording I made last night. It's a song of my own composition. I feel like it's a strong interpretation, and I think my style is becoming more personal.

Kind of experimental...starts off very synthy. Not a song exactly but probably enjoyable.

I don't really remember how I made this...it was several weeks ago now...but I think it's old tamborine and piano samples; plus, bicycle spokes? and dowel rods maybe? yeah, it's made of stuff.

Another cover of this awesome song, which I will be playing until the day I die. I'm getting damned good at stride piano if I do say so myself.

Lyrics
This is the penultimate entry in a series of outtakes that did not make it onto the album "
Damn Poets", to be released soon. (It is implied that the tracks on the album are superior to these outtakes. This is true.)
If you like
my songs, I would very much appreciate if you'd consider
leaving your email. You will
not be spammed; you will be among the first to find out when
Damn Poets drops.

Two dear friends of mine recently had their first child. This is the emotional piano solo I recorded in celebration. I think it's kind of reminiscent of Keith Jarrett.

A new (very early) rough mix from a chamber pop project I'm doing called "Wishing Well Divers." It's sung from the perspective of Truth personified as a stalker patiently pursuing a corrupt business man. It features cello, piano, acoustic guitar, and an early, rough vocal cut (there are some changes still coming to the vocals, and the guitars will get a boost in the mix ). At any rate, it's a glimpse of where this is going. I welcome any (gentle) feedback.
Lyrics below the fold.

Here is a cover of the song
(Tumble) in the Wind by
Jackson C. Frank. I was drawn to this song by the way he is ostensibly singing to someone, but it feels distinctly like there really isn't anyone he is singing to. Piano, reversed piano, attempt at falsetto, ramshackle percussion.
