It's here
Pickin'
Just having a play on my day off
Does this belong in a movie?
There's a song with words and stuff that this was originally based on, but I like the instrumental version better.
Mellow, textured, haunting, builds slowly. What do you think?
Soundtrack I Recorded for the Short "Inhumane"
I recently recorded this soundtrack for the short "Inhumane". I have linked the video below if watching the finished product is more your speed. let me know what you think.
Cymbal Drone in G Major
Digging back into some old ambient/noise/drone ideas.
Synth, guitar, and bowed cymbal. [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]
Reasonable Excuse
Piano, guitars and drum Instrumental, some unresolved tension. [more inside]
solo correctly
Some synth experiment from the vault...2nd half goes more analog...
3 kids on the square
the big synth at the beginning is live-performed on a Roland JX-8P on the patch called "Van Halen"!!!
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]
Bury It All (QOTSA raffle request)
Based loosely of Queens of the Stone Age's "Suture Up My Future" [more inside]
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!
Optimizing Performance (Antag Bounce)
A bit of synthy iPhone silliness [more inside]
Heroes Run
A story of an unexpected journey, and a choice to make; part rock opera, part... wolfdog, I guess. Lyrics inside! [more inside]
Beautiful Bidet
A short song about the positive and then the negative male relationships in my life. Features classical guitar, reverbed out bowed banjo, auto-tuning, synth, french doors slamming. This is the latest in a string of versions of this song, having trouble finishing it. [more inside]
A Whole Pile of Difficult
An annoying little new wave ditty [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]
Spacetime
A little progish - lots of analog synth, lots of interesting sounds, harmonies, counterpoint, a little odd meter, hopefully pretty catchy chorus, and one of the more obscure lyrics I've written (lyrics inside)... lots of stuff! [more inside]
Bring the Chase
Guitar and synth rock, with a certain whiff of the 70s about it, and a comparatively laid back chorus that I'm pretty happy with. Lyrics inside. [more inside]
Millimeters of Mercury (featuring Lanthanide Contraction) — Bulletproof Breakbeat
Amen Break + Synthesizer-Playing Chemistry Major + Guitar-Playing Chemistry Major = We blow roofs off shows like supercritical reactions blew the top off Chernobyl.
Made in the Image
Pretty straightforward 3 minute rock deal. If you're bored, try figuring out all the various things I borrowed from.
Finer Times
An ode to last year around this time. [more inside]
There She Goes Again
My submission to the Music Challenge, July 2009 edition. Advice to the lovelorn john from Uncle Lou. [more inside]
Olive Fields
I got the idea for this tune while driving through the farmlands of Northern California. Introspective and calming.
full mix (early) - 04/12 - pre-life
Harmless bongos. Hongos.
full mix (early) - 01/12 - bad dau
I recently found a bunch of old cds.. this is one I had put together around 2000 (I would have been around 16). Track 1.
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]
For the Horde
A theme song for an iPhone game. [more inside]
Make it True
Influenced by Afro-pop. Voice, percussion, and a little guitar. [more inside]
Unstress
Stressed out? Listen to this healing song and follow it's prescription to the letter! [more inside]
23rd Century
Here's a track from my album about wanting to be a robot. I figure lots of you folks can probably relate.
My band is currently touring the east coast, with dates in VA, NC, WV, MD, PA, NJ, NY, CT, and VT. Details inside!
Glow
I made this song last summer (2006). It has the usual synth and drum machine, as well as the addition of a little guitar. Very fast-paced, yet relaxed. Oh, and, of course, it'll someday (maybe) have lyrics.
Montage
an overwhelmingly ambient texture, pierced with many elements of various density - scraped percussion, Latin and bluegrass gestures, strings, somber guitar notes and swirling electronics. Very soundtrack, very visual, particuarly for fans of Gustavo Santaolalla.
Snakey
This is a song I did in 1995 with my band Verge on the album Little Idiot.
This recording is entirely the product of the studio, but we would play it live too. (We'd drag out a lot of gear that would barely function at times to do just that...)
We made this recording in the basement of my loft (at the time, sigh) in Williamsburg sometime between 1993 and 1995, sequencing it on a Mac IIci computer with no sampling or digital audio though we did record onto a digital 8-track tape recorder (remember "tape"?) so the guitar solos and voice and synth and things are pretty well as they occurred.
SeaSong
Cultural Amnesia is a group that I was in during the early 80s and a quarter of a century later we are still, occasionally, doing it. SeaSong is a track we recorded in 2004. We did record some songs earlier this year, but they're not fully buffed up for release yet. There will be a vinyl record of our old stuff released later this year.
