Another semi-anthemic dance song about dancing with a girl! [more inside]
Hasta Cielo
I'm back from South America for a little bit, so I have an urge to play with my electronic toys. [more inside]
In Paris, It's Dawn By Now
A song that, like almost EVERY song I write, is about running away to an exotic locale and, once there, dancing.
Cindy and Steve
Dance beats and synth hooks underscore the classic breakup story of two digital lovers in Computer Land.
Kate Bush - Bertie (Blissout Mix)
A little dance remix of a Kate Bush tune sampled off my turntable... just wanted to try making something super happy and dancey out of a very beautifully written song.
Says Saturn
messing around, ended up with this epic-feeling chord progression. it made me think of planets and their massive movements in space. +cowbell

Reckoner (Sparkletone Bmore Slow Dance Remix)
It's kind of Bmore, but is way too slow and pretty, hence the name. [more inside]
There's a Party in My Head
and you're invited! [more inside]

But When Cindy Dances
The first song I ever wrote, dating back to 1986. A pop song about a real Cindy and a possibly invented dance, sung in a fragile and especially twee manner. Part of my Old Songs project. [more inside]

Fault Lines

I heard a whisper on the waves
From across the galaxy
A tyrant dashed children on the rocks, I heard a rumor
Of genocide so far away [more inside]

Pull Up The People (Sparkletone Remix)
I needed to actually finish something, and finish it quickly, or risk my sanity. This is how I spent last night (and an hour or so tonight doing a final mixing pass). [more inside]
(8-Bar Wake) Before an Irish Funeral
First song off of the new People Will Blink record. This song was written about 3 years ago and went through many transformations before it began to sound... well... listenable. When we played this song live, Azeem used a vocoder during the bridge. He forgot it in California when we recorded, so we used a clarinet, melodica, and recorder in it's place. [more inside]
Thursday
Song from long ago about infatuation; remixed, remastered. Gratuitous orchestra hits at the end provided free of charge. [more inside]
Thanks for the Add (demo)
A dancey pop kinda thing. I finished all the recording and rough mixes for my next album so I'm starting to enjoy making music again. Also: trying to be less of a perfectionist so I maybe don't go bonkers.
Striking
a man sitting in a chair on the second floor looking out the window.
bottlescans
bob yer head to the sounds of voodoo economics
Freedom Tape
A simple, melancholy electro instrumental that I recorded a couple of years ago. Percussion ideas came from various hip-hop sources; the melody is my own. I use it as background music during a spoken-word segment of my live shows. [more inside]
Da House
An ambient little melodic house number.
This Is Why I'm Fantastic
by Fantastic Plastic Mims; my first foray into the mashing of up. Please be kind, this took me well over ten minutes.
Time Passing (032807 version)
"This next song uses one of my favorite techniques...that's to take a beautiful, simple melody and drive it into the ground."
-Leo Kottke
The Choir Song (two thousand seven mix)
Here's a track I made a while ago that I recently took a new stab at. It sounds retrodancey because well, that's all I could sound like back in the day.
The Reverse Peephole
I made this one a couple of years ago. Quite catchy and cheerful, gets a bit stupid near the end (to put it mildly).
Mousehold
Bouncy, clicky, synthy (is that a word?), could probably use proper mastering but this is the best I could do!
Before It Dies
Here is a "Mahayana Jazz" track with some tasty drums. I hope you find this delicious and remember to get away from that tree before it dies.
awescillate
I sat down thinking I was going to write something dark and moody with lots of electro industrial grit. What I got was a pretty standard dance track.
*sigh*
Still needs some mastering work to get the sounds 100%, but it's very close to finished. Let me know what you think.
Nova (Type III Mix)
A remix of Nova (which is also downloadable from the site linked in my profile), a bit more industrial sounding. Instrumental.
1982
I created this the first time I really fired-up Garageband, sometime in May of 2005. It's a cliche of itself, provoking nostalgia, and makes me laugh out-loud. Hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think!
rota
round and round it goes. started out sorta orbitally, then diverged
The Rain Expedition
All of the fascinating, clever, brave and beautiful people you almost met, but didn't.
Keep Your Hands
I made this after falling in love with this box set of old girl group singles. I wanted to take the hook from one of the best songs on there and do something interesting with it. I hope you dig.
MetroMental
Another song from my concept CD that has been long in the making. This one was inspired by riding Washington, DC's Metro system to and from work every day.
Doing the Churlish Pule
The dance craze that's sweeping the nation! Lyrics by languagehat.
Bookshelves And Mixtapes
A dancey synthpop song about the romances of hipsters.
808 Guilty Spark
Halo inspired trance for your Saturday night dance party.
I started this one three years ago and finally finished it this afternoon. I don't write for this genre very often, so let me know what you think!
