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]
Eighth Gear
It's time for more robo-jams! This song is procedurally generated and has eleven key changes. [more inside]
Outside Context Problem
Guitar + bass + programmed drums. Instrumental. Gets noisy and saturated at times.
The should have killed us when they had the chance
Slow burn instrumental. Bass, guitar, my son on keys (he's 13 today!). [more inside]
A Series Of Unlikely Explanations
Post-rock instrumental. Guitar, bass, programmed drums.
Not Disquieting At All
Free-form dark instrumental jam. Bass, guitar, keys, programmed drums, traffic noise. [more inside]
Prosthetic Conscience
Guitar Instrumental.
A rework of an old piece of mine. Just got a bass guitar, so of course it's pretty high in the mix.
It Don't Matter Who's First In Line
My golly, it's been years since I posted here! Shame on me. I miss the MeMu community. I recently released an album of kids' music, and thought I'd share a tune here. It's a classroom song about that age-old problem: cutting in line. [more inside]
Tough Love Black Eye
Punk, metal, jazz, slack, folk and noise. This pretty much typifies the grab bag that was my band, Big Ghost. Like trying to get Pavement and RHCP to agree on California rock. It's a mess, but it was our kinda mess. [more inside]
my idea 21
Quick song recorded this morning on Music Memo with (automatically added) bass and drums, and some synthesizers and (fair warning) voice-cracking singing. [more inside]
Again
Another song recorded with Music Memo providing the drums and bass (NSFW). [more inside]
Proto Man: An Empty Home
It is tradition among my people to collect 8-bit chiptune soundtracks that contain brilliant music, and learn and arrange them so that others may find joy in their melodic beauty! [more inside]
It won't be the same
Old slow acoustic thing. Live the snare. [more inside]
it's the same idea
Wrote and recorded this a couple of years ago. This is where I left it, a couple of notches or more away from perfect... but it's got some good things about it, including a really messed up (in a good way) guitar solo. [more inside]
Climbing Up the Walls
Only three tracks left until we've finally finished the full album of OK Computer. The idea here is pretty simple--since we've made basically every other track super creepy, it was time to make the creepiest track on the album something completely different. Presenting rock and/or roll. [more inside]
a strange and mysterious adventure
This instrumental track was originally named "Em wrong" because it came out of absentmindedly playing my guitar while watching tv and accidentally strumming an E minor chord incorrectly on the 3rd fret. The resulting song has an uneasy, mysterious vibe. [more inside]
Voytek the Soldier Bear
An incomplete mix of a song I'm working on about a bear who joined the Polish Army (the subject should sound familiar). [more inside]
St. James Infirmary Blues
Who Hit John tries our hand at this old standard. [more inside]
This is That
I have no idea what this is, but at least zephyr_words sent me a great bass track for it.
Lazy John
Old-time fiddle tune performed by the usual gang at The People's Pint in Greenfield, Massachusetts. [more inside]
it shows
This is an angry, broody, dark, but pretty song. I'm proud of it, I think it's one of my best! Includes a pretty sweet xaphoon (!) solo by yours truly, plus background vocals by my wife. [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]
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]
first step
An instrumental track that went under the working title "pseudo-eastern." Most prominently features guitars, lap steel, fretless bass and programmed sitar sounds. The subtle percussion is a spinner ring kind of like this one, run through a healthy dose of reverb. [more inside]
Staring Into Headlights
Dark sounds for an old barn. [more inside]
Cooter Brown
Whimsical number about a famous historical character. Sending this one out to Jessamyn. [more inside]
hypotech
we wrote this song at our space a week or so ago. [more inside]
full mix (early) - 04/12 - pre-life
Harmless bongos. Hongos.
The Garden of Forking Paths
Just another folk-rock song about Jorge Luis Borges. [more inside]
Shutterbug
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, la la la, la la la la. The new hit single from Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies. A chamber-pop meditation on time, aging, and death. [more inside]
All I Believe
A cover some friends and I will be performing at a cabaret here in New York in a couple weeks. [more inside]
Inverted Alchemy
A fuzz rock demo [more inside]
Morning Anger
I am a morning person. My girlfriend, not so much. [more inside]
My Girl
We were young. We had a 4-track, a room full of instruments, and several pots of coffee. We'd just learned how to mess with vocals by speeding them up or slowing them down. Things got weird. [more inside]
piltdown part 7
jazz tune. also, "jazz" tune. [more inside]
My Bones
Deeper Towards My Maker
A belated MeFi Music Challenge entry, a waltz in D major. [more inside]
Hated By Girls
This is some kind of punk, and my girls, (wife and her best friend) did the vocals. This is fun! Enjoy!
Further Than a Stone
Written by the mando player, Hamdog. I'm playing fiddle - everyone had a blast with this. [more inside]
Michigan Boy
Here's one with me singing and playing the harp. [more inside]
Janie in the Lake
More banjo / fiddle stuff. [more inside]
Blue Train
Old-timey / bluesy ditty from our new album. That's me on fiddle. :D [more inside]
Playin' the Pawns
The Great Big Mulp + snsranch + collaboration = Hell Yea!
The Words That Escape
An instrumental about words.
Goofed Up
This song is all goofed up because...see more inside.
Chocolate Time
Another bass line.
Contact
Here is another piece I'm working on.
Class
Unusual music, make with a ukulele, acoustic guitar, and bass, in one shot. Using a MagicStomp as a (very rudimentary) phrase sampler, and Audacity to record. Enjoy
Wandering Aloof
Another of my bass lines.
Why Did It Feel Like a Bad Thing? v1.0
This bass line came to me during a very confusing period in my life . . . a moment that still leaves a perpetual after-taste. Women are so confusing.
