run to you (bryan adams cover)
No, seriously. Just for fun, I decided to do this cover song to test out some drum stuff. Thought I'd share this while I work on some new songs...
snake (demo)
Another entry in my recent demo series of posts. I posted a not-quite-done version of the track here, featuring piano and overly heavy drums. It's a song about the old classic video game "Snake". I'm sure I'll revisit the "proper" recording some day, but in the meantime, this is a nice performance. [more inside]
do you ever
This track switches between three time signatures, and features an intro with a style of singing I guess one could call very vaguely eastern. It's a slow and gentle affair with softly distorted ebowed guitar, piano, and xylophone. It also includes a guitar solo in which a single note is played repeatedly. And lyrics that are pretty silly.

Medieval
A slow, two line piece on classical guitar, not really in a medieval style but I wasn't sure what else to call it! Hope everyone who takes the time to listen to it enjoys it. [more inside]
Hope or Happiness...

Heaven
A song about people coming to your door and you can't hide from them. Then they drag you away. [more inside]
Every Day
Another laid back instrumental guitar piece. I recorded a lead line for it, actually I probably recorded about 10, but then decided it was nice enough by itself. Hope you all agree and enjoy it!
There She Goes Again

Staring Into Headlights
Dark sounds for an old barn. [more inside]

Melancholy
A laid back, relaxed instrumental nylon string guitar piece, just for something new for me :) Hope its enjoyed by all.
The Plan
I love this song! Upbeat, dancy, kind of weird. [more inside]
Douchebag
step one: get a guitar
step two: learn a couple chords
step three: ???
step four: douchebag. [more inside]
Olive Fields
I got the idea for this tune while driving through the farmlands of Northern California. Introspective and calming.
Word Czar
A goofy, gleeful, garage-y little summer-in-the-city song. [more inside]
Looking at Things, Doing Stuff
Another chill orchestration of guitar, drums, bass, flute, and sax. The solo at the end is one of my favorites. [more inside]
Reasonably Appropriate Affections
A melody I had in my head for a while that I just had to get out. [more inside]
Fingerpickujah
A largely pointless endeavor, a rendition of Hallelujah with quick fingerpicking and banjos (what's new?).
Unrecognisable-lullejah
Instrumental nylon string guitar, borrowing harminocally from Mr Cohen, but in my own style. Hope everyone enjoys it. [more inside]
Hillbillujah
This is the soundtrack to a movie about Leonard Cohen going on a rafting trip in rural Appalachia. [more inside]
Cooter Brown
Whimsical number about a famous historical character. Sending this one out to Jessamyn. [more inside]
A Long Way Down
Another new demo song from my new band, Bring A Guillotine. A little more laid back than the previous track uploaded. Enjoy!
Festivo
An upbeat, fast instrumental guitar piece, inspired by some of the music I've been listening to recently. Hope its enjoyed by all!
Seven Eight
Instrumental guitar piece in 7/8 time signature - took a lot of concentration and I think it shows, not the most expressive piece but its melodic and flows better than I expected.
Hope its enjoyed by all!
Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifters
First track off our new album, "Heirloom."
I'm playing fiddle an jawharp. [more inside]
Together - Electric
Whats that you say? You liked Togther but wonder what it would sound like played on an electric guitar? With chorus and reverb? What a happy coincidence! Wrap your ears around this!
Together - Jazzed
You liked Together - now hear the cover, jazzed up. Short lively instrumental cover of my own work. Vanity at its best.
Architect
Another song off of my EP. It's usually the last song we played at shows, and the longest and loudest. [more inside]
DNA
A track from my defunct band, Struction.
Fast and loud.

mandala
This collage, like this one, this one and this older one, has been mostly done through the use of a looping device and a guitar. And some ambient sounds too. Last part designed to propitiate meditation.
The ConstruKction of Light
King Crimson cover
hypotech
we wrote this song at our space a week or so ago. [more inside]
Natchez
A lazy song about drifting down the Mississippi, written by Rob P, performed by Bone Table. (That's me on the slide.) [more inside]
Cover: One More Time
Acoustic guitar instrumental cover of a very popular song, I won't mention the artist, perhaps a commenter can spill the beans :) Recorded in two parts.
Why donchu go
On man.. the first line and the rhythm were written while walking to class three or four years ago in a wisdom tooth Vicodin sunshine. A couple of days before April this year I woke up early some Sunday morning and just started playing the same two 'chords' over and over again (A7#9sus4 (just bar the 5th) and Amaj .. although it probably was closer to Amin/E to Amaj/E). Combine that with a corrupted version of the 'Why don't you move back to Massachusetts!' line from Do the Right Thing and you've got something sounding like early tired Sunday mornings. [more inside]
Rough Around the Edges
A fast boppy instrumental guitar piece, recorded in one take and as the title suggests, its a little rough around the edges. A little rocky in sections, would be interesting with distorted electric guitar with bass and drums behind it. Hope everyone enjoys it!
Joy In The Morning (Cast Your Stone)
An older recording that I just dug up. One of my friend Hawk Coleman's best vocal performances. A bit of a folky melodramatic march that builds pretty big towards the end. [more inside]
Song in Am
No the most imaginitive title, I wrote this for a friend who was meant to put lyrics onto it and never got around to it - its lengthy at about 4 and a half minutes, the second guitar melody kicks in half way through. Slow, relaxing and as always, hope its enjoyed by all who listen to it.
Everywhere With Helicopter (feat. jessamyn; Guided By Voices cover)
So, what was it, November when the MeFi Challenge was unofficially "requests for covers from other MeFites"? But this goes even further back... sometime last summer, Jessamyn said she wanted to do a cover--with me!--of Guided By Voices' "Everywhere With Helicopter." "OK," I said, "but you have to sing and make jangly noises with things around your apartment." [more inside]
Cover: The Rose
Instrumental guitar cover of The Rose by Bette Middler. Done in one take, as its recorded with just one guitar line theres been a few compromises with the melody. Also a few dud notes but every time I tried to re record it the cats kept getting in the way!
Perfect for Mothers Day which is coming up here in Australia.
Where the Nest Goes
A resurrected ditty from more than a decade ago -- finally retooled it and recorded it properly. Another Geese tune. I originally wrote it for my then-infant son Mikey (who was heard on other recent tunes I've submitted to MeFi Music). I think it has an old-school flavor (with a pinch of the Monkees and ABBA). Enjoy. [more inside]
Your Shout
Another instrumental guitar piece, lively, fun, and a bit of an exercise in tonicization. Hope everyone enjoys it.
Soon
A little two-chord reverie that shuffles around for a bit and then disappears. [more inside]
One Complete Revolution
Just a simple little guitar ditty. [more inside]
Jiggy Romp (short version)
This is an upbeat guitar instrumental idea with a rock/tropical feel. [more inside]
