Half-Steps B
a little piano piece that I recorded in the lull before going out on a Friday
Goodbye
On Sunday I'm leaving my friends and family and boyfriend to go off and live in Britain for a year and attend university. This is a song about that, which I finished today. [more inside]
Songes of Love
So, I like ben folds, I've been sitting on a great piano arrangement of this forever, and I can't focus enough to attend to the pile of writing I've fallen behind on. But if I'm creating something that can be shared, is it REALLY slacking?
This is a cover of one of my favorites from Supersunnyspeedgraphic, the LP, "Songs of Love".
Lucy Jane - Glass and Grass and Sunrays
A song from Lucy Jane about a girl who's not very happy. [more inside]
Outspeak
I thought I'd throw a few older compositions up here for fun. This is a short piano trio I composed in 2004. Lots of extended techniques and other academic foolery. But it still rocks a little, when it does.
womankind
An ode to women featuring guitars, piano, melodica, and lap steel. [more inside]
mind yourself
piano, double bass, a rhodes piano and a mellotron wander around a bit. [more inside]
foot chase
Easy little piano/drum instrumental track that a friend and I recorded a few years back. I call it "foot chase" because for some reason it makes me imagine being on the run from someone.
Good Enough
Another cover song (you seem to respond better to those, anyway :P ), this time something as unoriginal as Evanescence (I know, all the emo kids are doing it...) Yet again, a recording from my vocal exam last week. [more inside]
Song for Heather
This song was written for and inspired by a very dear friend of mine who is battling her second round of cancer. It's dedicated to her and everyone else who suffer and fight. They are the strongest people in the world. [more inside]
Where you are
This is a quick little tune about a few people I'll never meet. [more inside]
Memo To My Son
I love Randy Newman. Along with the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, and Cat Stevens, he was the first musician I fell in love with as a child, thanks to my parents. I've covered him once before on MeFi. Now I'm doing it again. [more inside]
The Man I Love
The Gershwin standard. Really just testing the equipment/setup. I think it failed, but here it is anyway. [more inside]
97
Last night just before the kids went to bed, while I was dicking around on the piano and recording while my son played his drums, my daughter walked up with princess dress on and told me about a dream she had. [more inside]
14 Candles
ADHD#
D# is my favorite note... [more inside]
Not So Kind
A very short little song wherein I take the harshly honest route toward an old friend. [more inside]
multiplication
Persistent piano piece composed based on rules derived from the multiplication table. Starts softly, gradually gets louder. [more inside]
My Funny Valentine
I wasn't able to take lessons like I planned, but I thought I'd post my take on the classic Rodgers and Hart song anyway, after a long hiatus. Hope you enjoy! [more inside]
I Talk To Myself
This song started off as a 30 second pitch for a cell phone commercial. [more inside]
her name is hope
I wrote this after attending a concert late last year. Just finished (?) the recording. It's kind of a tribute to the musician I saw -- maybe you can guess who it is? Either way, it's a track that features guitars, pianos, fretless bass, vibes, drums, vocals and a lap steel part in the chorus that I'm really satisfied with. [more inside]
down slowly
me & the lady. I record everything on an old school mini disc recorder, not to be hip but because I'm poor. [more inside]
Greensleeves
For the "Traditional" MefiMusic challenge. In which I get all George Winston-y up in here. [more inside]
4 pieces of slow
This song sounds like a demo for a silly general keyboard that you play in Target to annoy people.
The Librarian
This song is about a problem that most people probably won't have in their lives. I'm not sure it even exists. Call it an imaginary cautionary tale.
It's not part of FAWM, I just happened to finish it in February. [more inside]
Broken, soundtrack for the future.
Some more Philip Glass-inspired electronica while waiting for the RPM Challenge to start.
Waiting
This is a love song I wrote for my girlfriend shortly after we met. [more inside]
It Could Always Be Early
A song for a little project I've been working on, which is a batch of songs all in the tuning BbGCFABb mostly recorded in my parents sauna. [more inside]
The Ballad of Cherry Hill
This is the lead-off track from the forthcoming EP, Labyrinths, by Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, to be released 1/7/10. It's a wistful slice of indie-pop about insomnia, suburban isolation, and the boredom of hometowns. [more inside]
detournement
a piano song
Haunted
For my first MeFiMu post, I decided to whip up a recording of this bit o'sad bastard piano balladry. It's a rough recording, all pretty much first takes, but I think it works well enough.
(And no, despite the title, this is not a Halloween challenge entry.) [more inside]
The David Lee Roth Isolated Vocal Track Piano
Oh god. Oh god, it's running. [more inside]
The Podcast Piano
Raven
An autumnal song about and for walking to work in the rain. Featuring the piano and a heaping amount of spring reverb. [more inside]
oslo nights
This is a quiet, meditative, minimalist instrumental piano piece, with occasional visits by vibes, fretless bass and lap steel guitar. You might want to play it somewhat loudly to hear some of the softer notes. Do you think it's finished, or should I add something? [more inside]
Shades of Grey
It's about m7 chords and singing words. Words about shades of grey. and colors. Other words are used in the song.
Queen of the Carnival
Another Mardi Gras song from Sailor Martin, this one sounding a bit like the theme from a 1970s cop show.
You Got Your Popeye Hanging Out
In the noble tradition of the New Orleans "Popeye" song, a rather ignominious entry. [more inside]
Time to Get Loaded
A Mardi Gras song by Sailor Martin.
Big Bomb Punch
A drinking song, New Orleans-style. [more inside]
Emotion Experiment 3
This piece is supposed to represent or express a particular emotion. Please let me know what emotion you think it is. [more inside]

Madeleine
A new song called 'Madeleine' from my new band, features piano, strings and bouncy guitars! Wheeee. [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. [more inside]
One Moment
A short, lo-fi, catchy piano jam. [more inside]
Michael Nyman: The Piano - Big My Secret
I don't like the movie The Piano, but I do like Michael Nyman's soundtrack. I usually program all my music with a sequencer, so this is my first attempt to capture myself live. [more inside]
Waiting for the Man
VU & Nico Challenge. [more inside]
Run Run Run
My Velvet Underground homework. There's some backing falsetto in here and some piano and stuff. [more inside]
So Straight and Slow (Robin Holcomb cover)
Programmed, recorded and edited today. This song appears on Robin Holcomb's self-titled album from 1990. It's got some odd key changes and a lot of clashing notes. [more inside]
