I sort of learned how to fade out a song on LogicPro. [more inside]
And the Sunlight Among the Trees
A short (1:27) original piece of me on solo piano. It's a reworking / different arrangement of a previous tune I posted, which was piano & guitar. This is a slightly different take on rhythm and melody -- more of a contemplative feeling, and still reflective and reassuring (I hope). Happy new year, MetaFilter! [more inside]
Three Way Mirror
Track one off our most recent release, a dual album set called Infrared & Ultraviolet. This is the first song on Ultraviolet. For once we get right to the point, & make a short & sweet 8 1/2 minutes. Made up on the spot - totally improvisational. Titled such because there's three of us & we mirror one another as we play. Plus, it breaks space. [more inside]
Florida Lee
Carbon 7 is an improvisational/experimental trio that creates spontaneous music at the moment it's recorded. I left a tad of dialog at the beginning, so you could here our "process." Dennis gives Ron a hard time about choosing a key, then I call out C# & start it off. Clocks in at a whopping 26.5 minutes, but it evolves slowly the entire way. [more inside]
Flight (December 19)
I recorded this song on an airplane in flight by typing in 2016. [more inside]
Thoughts in B-flat
In the past couple of weeks, I found myself going back to a piece that I'd started working on a few years ago -- probably because it's in a slower triple meter that's somewhat calming for me. This is a condensed one-minute version, featuring piano and guitar, for the 60 Seconds and Under #2 MeFi Music Challenge. [more inside]
The Guardian of Phobos
Piano vs. Electronics. Kinda epic even though it's not all that long! [more inside]
Hot Collie Bounce
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).
Coma
As in comet. Carbon 7, doing the free-form space jazz thing, again. [more inside]
Nostalgia
This one has maybe the most tracks of any song I've ever made. [more inside]
They Might Be Giants
Here is my take on TMBG for the Metafilter Flood Album! More novelty than novelty, that's my motto (apparently). This is not at all what I had in mind for this somehow. [more inside]
Backwards
As the unimaginative title suggests, this is my entry for the April MeFi Music challenge. It's an ambient type of thing, largely made from reversed guitar recordings. [more inside]
The Sunset Star
A slow, jazzy improv thing. [more inside]
Unseen Ring of Fire
Another Improvisational thing from my new band Carbon 7. This one's a bit long, at 19 minutes. [more inside]
Jun19
I thought I'd share this with the mefi music makers and listeners. It's a sparkly-ish, delay-ish, electronic-piano-ish, one-take-ish, THC-ish improv/rhapsody. [more inside]
C Minor - Part 1
Ballad-ish, classical-ish instrumental piece - first part of a three part instrumental piece all in C minor. [more inside]
doomocracy
Experiment in mood... An ominous political speech. [more inside]
August 10
A long one-take improvisitation played live with Ableton echo and a vocal beat loop I recorded that I knob-twiddled while I played.
Penumbrella
A short echoey piece for keyboard.
Half-Steps B
a little piano piece that I recorded in the lull before going out on a Friday
Gills
A simple little song about turning into a fish. Written in 30 minutes and recorded in one take. [more inside]
My Money's Worth In Blood
So, I've been experimenting with writing and recording pop music - currently in my bedroom with garageband. I'm an amateur. I may have gotten a little effect happy on this one. But hey, it's a start. [more inside]
You Can't Ignore My Techno
Shortish instrumental, born out of me dicking around in Garage Band and trying to break out of my indie-rock rut.
Kill All the Witnesses
Four hours until dawn, and things are getting hairy. [more inside]
The Pianimal: Episode 1 - Tom Waits Covers
Recorded live in my living room on Monday night, the debut episode of this four-song, one-take podcast is my way of making sure I DO something with the piano in the corner. Each song fits a certain theme (this episode, it's Tom Waits covers), and there are no re-takes or edits allowed. It's the Pianimal -- and it's ALIVE! [more inside]
cc'ed
Another acoustic, instrumental tune. This is the first track I've made in GarageBand (my Ubuntu machine died hard last week).
Go Home Metronome
An exhausting afternoon called for extensive multitracking and math-rocking minus the thinking part. [more inside]
One Dubb
puff it, pass it, instant classic
505 where the beat was crafted [more inside]
Deeper Towards My Maker
A belated MeFi Music Challenge entry, a waltz in D major. [more inside]
Hopin' for the...
A beat I made in Garageband featuring trombone. All the music parts are loops of me, on keyboard, trombone, and bass. The scratching is Mic Santi, my roommate.
Glimmering Night
Acoustic piano ballad.
Nostalgia [more inside]
butterfly gone berserk
I have a new song ! Inspired by the numerous posts I've had the pleasure to listen here, I've added a tech touch to my music. My butterfly has decided to rebel against nature and has gained a synthetic voice... but fortunately, he soon gets rid of it and returns to real life.
In The Mind
This was one of the first songs that I ever recorded. It has changed some what over the years and still waiting for the work that it needs. It will also be the title track to my CD. It has a dark and erie sound that has said to be influenced by my recreational addiction that I had at the time. I do hope that you will enjoy this contribution to a look that is "IN THE MIND"
VCR (Perpetual Bridge)
Another song on the new keyboard. Basically, the loop is four bridge ('fill') rhythms from the keyboard's analog drum kit, so I figure it's a good enough musical joke to submit it for 'bridge'. Anyway. it's kinda made up as I go (as before, live looping with my baby, and it's louder than my last one and attempts to be less sleepy. Critique welcomed, as always.
I Wouln't Trust Him With That
So, I picked up new keyboard for free. Here's an impromptu song I just did on it.
chinese no groove
Improvised trio. Guitar, keyboards, doorbell. When you've got a pebble in your shoe, you can't look at the stars.
What Have You Done?
While my friend Beth is in town, we're recording a bit (as The Shrimp Boat Pirates. We just finished this one last night. Hohner-Gruhn guitar, Fender Stratocaster, Casio keyboard, kitchen utensils, Audio-Technica microphone, and GarageBand.
Quantum Mechanics
In the early 1990s I had a spare bedroom full of MIDI equipment (including a 16-channel mixer and various effect units) and I liked to noodle around with it. This is the only complete piece I ever produced. It's an instrumental strongly influenced by the likes of Tangerine Dream, the Alan Parsons Project, and Synergy.
In The Dark
The last song on my first solo record. Very sad melody and lyrics, keyboard and guitar. Get the rest of the record at the MySpace.
pretzel pieces
One of the stranger (and more "polished") results of my recent Song A Day project.
