Play Guns
Continuing my ambition of actually finishing and posting projects, here's a little love letter to the early 90s. Still has spooky themes! The drums are fine. Could have spent another year doing them properly. Lyrics in the fold. [more inside]
Dyscalyptus
A short, somewhat creepy guitar-arpeggio-centric near-instrumental. [more inside]
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]
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]
Lamprophyre
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]
This is Not a Desert
Mostly 12 string
How Was Your Year?
This one was recorded live with my collaborators at a recent songwriting retreat. [more inside]
Tous les Mêmes
Solo 7-string guitar arrangement of Stromae's mambo/tango/soukous/edm tune Tous les Mêmes
Maps and Keys
Still lost somewhere in the House of C. [more inside]
The Sun and The Rain
I went to Bonnaroo and all I got was a sunburn and a demo of this song. [more inside]
Loro
A solo 7-string arrangement of one of my favorite Pinback songs [more inside]
Imagined Scandinavian Dance
I have no idea what Scandinavian dances sound like, but I thought this riff sounded vaguely like Elegy-era Amorphis and what I remember of Romanian Folk Dances by Bartok. [more inside]
Darling
I made a solo 7-string guitar arrangement of the melancholy jangle pop tune Darling by the band Real Estate.
Razor Edged Shadows
Vaguely sinister ambient. Twelve string plus keys
A Slightly Greater Kind of Triumph
Komatiite
Electronics with some guitars that really need to be re-recorded but this had already taken too much time. [more inside]
hesitations
Spanish guitar plus electronics
Jharkhand Assembly - The Descent Part II
Excerpt from the extended Drone Poem, Heavy Storyteller Suite. [more inside]
The Sound of Carrying On No Matter How Terrible It Gets
The latest Junto prompt asks you to do something out of tune, so I put my phone next to my amp and started recording myself playing these two riffs and detuning the A string every so often.
schism
Solo Spanish guitar
Dark Streets
A preview of a single we're releasing in a few weeks' time.
The Very Small Starship Rises into the Clear Sky
If you listen closely the five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind are almost in there.
rainsleep
Very pleased with how the key change at 1:30ish, just before the synthflute comes in, worked out
Slow Cascade
Slower, shorter and synthed up version of Cascade
Simile
This is one of my partner's songs, on which I played some of the instruments. It's full of wordplay. She recently uploaded her demo album, Nothing New, to Bandcamp. She's a smart and witty lyricist and a great guitarist (and ukulelist). And she plays reed instruments, which are a complete mystery to me.
Terrible Realization Music for an Imaginary, Low-Budge
The usual. Perhaps slightly more menacing.
Engine of Flowers
Solo Spanish guitar
Small Town
December's release from Sredni Vashtar, staying with the slow, epic, moody sound for the time being.
Eighth Gear
It's time for more robo-jams! This song is procedurally generated and has eleven key changes. [more inside]
You Already Knew This
Clunky bluesy picking on a Spanish guitar for the first minute and then it opens up a lot.
Death Scene Music for an Imaginary, Low-Budget Cyberpunk Movie
Not had time for much recording lately - it's been a brutal couple of months. Here's another part of the soundtrack for a straight to video cyberpunk movie from the nineties.
(apologies to the fellow mefite who I'm supposed to be doing a collab with - I'll be in touch I promise!)
Quicksand
Escalating Damage
Mildly frightening music for the mildly frightening time of year
One Day Those Tiny Wheels Will Start to Spin Again
Fast guitar, keys.
Charybdis
Dark sibling to my global smash hit Goldenhill
Broken
The latest release from our band. A sort of woozy, after hours lament for something lost.
Alien Flowers
Guitar, keys.
Tremadoc-Arenig-Llandeilo-Llanvirn
It's a graptolites thing.
Lots of guitars. Lots of effects. Some keys. All the rules broken.
Goldenhill
More ambient guitar noodlings.
Babymoon to Minnesota
Another little guitar and cello song about dashed romantic babymoon plans. [more inside]
Shining Tor at Twilight
Broke my own rule and drenched this one in effects and keys. Very New Age. Not sure I approve of it.
Electricity Variations
With apologies to OMD.
A Small Kind of Triumph
Played on a plank with some taut wires
Rain
Twelve string acoustic miniature again!
A Conversation
12 String etc
Empty Light
12 string recorded on a phone as usual
Cascade
Guitar etc
Hell
A bad omens country song with my lowest drawly early morning vocals ever and a cool slippery guitar riff in the chorus. [more inside]
Ultrasound
We had our first ultrasound where the baby really looks like a baby, and I of course had to write a song. Guitar is tuned way down (low string is an A). [more inside]
