Three Halves (Inside Problems)
A short, conflicted song somewhat in the style of my (much older) Headphones. This one's about having too much of things. [more inside]

Octopus in Boots
This is a song I just completed. It's about being converted into an octopus and moving into the ocean.
I played all the things on this: drums, guitars, keys, vocals, bass.
Hope you dig it.

Mystery at the Broken Robot Factory
Starting in my teens, I had a series of dreams about living in the ruins of a subterranean post-apocalyptic society.

It has never been clear if this was a broken factory that made robots or a factory that made broken robots. [more inside]

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
I took Mary Poppins' classic "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and mixed it with Andy Rehfeldt's metal version. The original song was downtuned a few semitones; and a few snips were made for the sync to be maintained. And I added a slight channel separation so it wasn't a flat mash of noise.
