Turquoise Migration
Piano, strings, and electronics on a journey across a strange, wide landscape. [more inside]
Road Race
Instrumental with big tunes and riffs, and a driving cadence that's perfect for cycling (especially if the weather should force you to ride indoors). Bandcamp download (with artwork).
Bivball Instrumental
This is a short song I wrote to accompany my brother's ad for his new iphone game. (Bivball is the name of the game).
Fun project with short turnaround. It's a little clunky, but on the one millionth listen it suddenly levels up to "pretty good" (try it, you'll see). Comments welcome. Thanks for listening.
I. Tell Me Again
I put together a short EP (I'm calling it Earth and Sky) that loosely orbits around two maybe-related stories. This is the opening track. [more inside]
Malkop
Retro, funky, electro
Men's Retreat
New recording of an old song with the following Garageband synths: "hip hop kit", "pop flute" and "shimmering harpsichord" (IIRC). Song about good friends who have, by now, all moved away. I'd love any thoughts on this. [more inside]
Coma
As in comet. Carbon 7, doing the free-form space jazz thing, again. [more inside]
Paranoid Shepard
This is an endlessly rising Radiohead cover vignette; a section from Paranoid Android rises a whole step and repeats itself, and does so again, six times total, before returning to where it started, as a kind of large-scale take on the Shepard tone. [more inside]
The Golden Age (Beck cover)
A synthed out, vocoded take on Beck's extremely non-synthy song off of Sea Change, as an excuse to fiddle around with Reason 8. [more inside]
Resistor -- Cordless Phone
Greetings to the Unknown
Fast catchy tune with a thumping chorus - but the piano takes the star turn in the verses. [more inside]
Separate Ways
Pensive piano interspersed with electronic outbursts and a broad, burbling middle section. [more inside]
Resistor - Can't Believe
I can't believe you've done this.
Electro-dance-pop.
[more inside]
Falling (Theme from Twin Peaks)
In honor of tomorrow's blu-ray release, I recorded a new take on the classic Lynch/Badalamenti theme, "Falling," from Twin Peaks. [more inside]
Collisions
Uptempo, hard-driving instrumental for synth+piano, with elements of trance and classical. First track on my Anthem of the Heart EP. [more inside]
In A Soylent Way
Carbon 7 doing our mellowest, jazziest thing yet. Joined again by flautist Fred Mitchim. Kept to a pretty sleek 9 minutes. [more inside]
Robot Sunrise
Another song from my newish free EP of quirky electronic cheese, "Part Time Drum Machine." I sort of picture a mechanical sunrise operated by heavy robots intent on bringing light joy. You know. [more inside]
Metric Groove
From my new (free!) EP 'Part Time Drum Machine', this is an instrumental keyboard-based track driven forward by a cheap synth bass and Casio-ish beats. A different kind of style than you may have heard from me before. [more inside]
Arp Acquired
Much synth
Moonstones
Synth-based dance with a nocturnal air. [more inside]
BatterseaRise - A fancy, complete and polished intro so a song I have yet to write the rest of.
A very quick intro/chorus I finally polished up this morning. I just need to write the other 78% of the song now. Thoughts? [more inside]
Resistor -- Vincent van Gogh (studio version)
This is a song about an artist dying for attention. From the forthcoming album First World Problems by Resistor. [more inside]
Fly Dog!
Flyball battle anthem. Not quite "Eye of the Tiger", to be sure, but you can still turn it up and rock out. Electronic instrumental. [more inside]
Anthem of the Mind
More massive amounts of Massive. I think it builds up nicely. Let me know what you think.
Bury It All (QOTSA raffle request)
Based loosely of Queens of the Stone Age's "Suture Up My Future" [more inside]
Christmas in July
bouncy, spiky little ditty about getting away with murder. Part of a series I'm working on. I'll post the other one tomorrow if y'all enjoy this one. [more inside]
Erosion
I bought a cheap casiotone keyboard. I have to figure out how to learn to play it, but in the meantime... drone!
one note
Based on The World Famous' challenge idea in this thread, to make a song using only one note. [more inside]
Teen Drugs
Pretty self explanatory. Drug teens doing teen drugs. [more inside]
Mike Oscar Mike
A synthy Mother's Day to all!
Barndance (gettin' silly)
I think this is the first song I've posted with a guitar solo not done by Dagosto.
Photographic (Depeche Mode cover)
Some synthpop kids cover Just Can't Get Enough. Others cover Photographic. I'm in the second group. [more inside]
The Flank of Bridenstein
I had a bit of fun with this: it's about a relationship gone wrong. I believe that the dual bass part is rhythmically interesting. Double bass and synth bass rhythmically intertwine and are coupled with a synth trumpet. There may be some Brian Eno influences a la The Drop.
My album is available for $5 download at CD Baby: The Dividing Range.

Everyone I Know
Resistor celebrates springtime with a lush new single, "Everyone I Know."
This hook-laden dance-pop number is seasoned with Resistor's cynical charm, pondering whether originality can exist if a person is merely a product of his environment. Of course, the existentialism lurks beneath many layers of burbling synths, glitchy drum machines, and boy-girl harmonies. [more inside]
11 Day Tripper
Silly instrumental in 11/8.
Tiktaalik
One fish was the first fish to walk on land, one fish was the first fish to breathe the air. [more inside]
If You Don't Cry
"If You Don't Cry" by Resistor (originally performed by The Magnetic Fields).
Butterfly Nets
This is a cover of Bishop Allen's "Butterfly Nets." While the song is a favorite of teenage girls on with ukeleles on Youtube, I am instead a 34-year-old baritone with Garageband and an OP-1.
Midnight Harbour Dance
Victoria, BC's inner harbour is the perfect place to go after-hours on a clear night, put on headphones, and dance your face off by the water. Here's a song in honor of silly summer times. [more inside]
Underfoot
This was a fast and dirty demo I made up to teach my band the song. Kinda like how it came out, so I figured I'd throw it up here. Nice little garage rock tune. Nifty synths. [more inside]
Resistor - Keep it to Yourself
Another bit of synthpop metacommentary in the form of the funny-cause-it's-sad-cause-it's-true inner monologue of a cynical artist. [more inside]
Lines
I wrote the music for this last summer, and I eventually intend to re-record it with lyrics once I finish them but for now I'm putting it up here as an instrumental and looking for feedback from the MeFi community.
Made In The Image
New and much improved mix of a song from a few years ago. Kinda rock-metal-electronic fun with a pretty good helping of vocal harmonies. Critique away!
Asteroid Hidden in the Shadow of the Earth
Sure, the world could end Friday. Or Saturday. Or some other Friday 100,000 years from now. 7 minutes of instrumental contemplation, as it flowed in from the sky, last May. [more inside]
Call Me Luna!
This has techno stuff arguing back and forth with pianos, a theme that's conflicted about what meter it's in, a cadence that keeps trying to change the key down a whole step, and ponies. Plenty of ponies. But I think this is my last Luna project for a while now!
Wonderful Christmastime
My take on the McCartney Christmas tune. [more inside]
Optimizing Performance (Antag Bounce)
A bit of synthy iPhone silliness [more inside]
14 Baktun
14 minutes of improvisation from Carbon 7, heralding the end of the Mayan Long Count. [more inside]
Narcissist
The 11th entry in the monthly series of homemade synthpop singles from Resistor, "Narcissist" does what it says on the tin. [more inside]
Three
Carbon 7 again, from last June. This one sounds more like an actual song than about anything we've done, so far. 16 minutes of spontaneous creation. [more inside]
