Phase the Blood
A Slayer-style riff played on one guitar and a version of that riff that has an extra half beat so that the two parts are not in phase, Steve Reich-style. [more inside]

Stardust
The recent Willy Nelson post reminded me that I had this on my iPad from a few years ago. Just me singing with a Venezuelan Cuatro (but playing it more like a ukulele).
City of Five Funks
I wanted to make the beat with wood and rock samples only, and then made more funky shit, and of course organ. For the City of Five seasons, or as locals say the city of five smells (thanks to the food processing plants). [more inside]

Margaret
Just another love song..
Recorded at home with members of my old shoegazer bandmates because we’ve all gone semi-country in our old age. Me singing and rhythm guitar, Sam on drums and Jack on lead guitar. Written and recorded in a single take on a particularly good day last year.

Don't Know What It Is (About KDHX)
This one's for a good cause, to support efforts to save my favorite St. Louis indie radio station. [more inside]
Wistman's Wood
A song about spooky stuff, ghosts, will-o-the-wisps, wizards, pixies, etc. And a doomed woman who ventures into Wistman's Wood. All the vocals are computer (AI) generated.

Signals in the Valley
Three virtual players, separated enough that it takes seconds for sound to travel to each other, nonetheless try to listen to each other's playing and respond. [more inside]

The Orb, Ascending
No one said ascending would be easy. (There's a lot of low humming in this, so it may be hard to hear without headphones or with computer speakers.)
Do You Understand?
Hi there. I'm a writer/screenwriter. This is the first time I've shared my own music. It's electronic and certainly influenced by the likes of Richard H. Kirk, maybe a little Steven Reich. Samples include some famliar figures, plus Jimmy Swaggart shouting about the end times. Enjoy!
