Ready To Rock
Solo, live at CAY in Aoyama, Tokyo, April 14, 2010, accompanying myself on the strumstick. Video of this same performance at YouTube or Vimeo.
Dance Into the Fire
A brand new song, from a gig I did on March 25, 2010, at Super Deluxe here in Tokyo. Video of this same performance at YouTube here.
Burnside
Another live recording from my new band, Medicine Bone (previously). This is one of band-mate Ken Shima's songs, which he's singing here. I'm on walking drums. I love drumming to this tune. Video of this same performance on YouTube.
Sitting On Top of the World
This is my other brand new band, the Ghost Steppers. We do old-time, early blues, jug band, mountain music: all traditional stuff, no originals. Here's our rough-and-ready take on an old favorite, originally written and recorded by the Mississippi Sheiks, that's been interpreted by many, many folks over the years. I've changed the lyrics a bit (maybe more than a bit) but that's part of the longstanding folk tradition, of course. Video of this same performance at YouTube here.
Shangri-La (Live Bootleg Cut)
This is a live recording of my new song Shangri-La. The audio was recorded on a handheld recorder by one of the audience members. Apologies for the dodgy sound quality...but I just had to post my first bootleg! [more inside]
I'm Worried About You
Here's my new band, Medicine Bone, from our official first gig at Velvet Sun in Ogikubo, Tokyo, February 27, 2010. Ken Shima is on guitar, and sings plenty of his own tunes in the band too: it's a collaborative effort. This is one of my tunes, though, a blues. Video of this same performance at YouTube.

Easy Street
The acoustic, live version of my song Easy Street. [more inside]
You Came Out of Nowhere
i keep thinking there's something i need to do - and i keep not doing it... Recorded live in performance at Nana Hari, Hachobori, Tokyo. Here I'm accompanying myself on the strumstick. Video at YouTube and Vimeo. [more inside]
Only Passing Through
...we're all in Folsom Prison, but there ain't no Johnny Cash... Recorded live in performance at Nana Hari, Tokyo, on January 17, 2010. For this song I'm playing the Vietnamese jaw harp known as the Dan Moi. Video of this performance at YouTube and Vimeo.

As I Slowly Disappear
Recorded live in performance at Nana Hari, Tokyo, on January 17, 2010. Accompanying myself on the strumstick. Video at YouTube and Vimeo. [more inside]
Awful Song no. 143198
This is the awful song I made this morning with the help of Ask Metafilter. Relax to the smooth sounds of two minutes of obnoxious beeping! [more inside]
Last Train (live)
Another live recording from the opening hours of January 1, 2010, coming at you from deepest Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. I'm playing the Dan Moi (Vietnamese jaw harp) here, and singing about the all-too-common concern of Tokyoites: missing that saishuu densha. Video of this same performance at YouTube or Vimeo
Oh Death (live)
In the very first hour of the brand new year of 2010, I was on a stage in Tokyo, part of Mike Watt's yearly "We Jam Econo" event, singing about death. Video of this same performance can be seen at YouTube or Vimeo. [more inside]
Hero
This is what happens when nobody knows how the song goes, but you play it anyway. [more inside]
That's where I'm At
This is a song I did last nite with my cousin on drums. I'm tracking music on my home studio. [more inside]
Cold Water (Tom Waits cover)
Recorded live from a gig I played last Friday at the Cameron House in Toronto, with a new band called Roughlands. I'm on upright bass [more inside]
Twist and Doubt (spoken version)
This performance recorded live at Super Deluxe, Tokyo, on October 27, 2009. If you'd like to know what that string instrument is that's accompanying my voice, well, one video is worth a thousand words... [more inside]
Hole In My Wallet
This is a live recording straight from the desk at my band's most recent show. The song is basically about how work sucks so you spend your pay on booze to forget about it and have a good time. Deep, right? More tracks on our myspace.
The Letter
The Men from the Manly Planet, recorded live at the University of Chicago Lab School cafeteria, circa 1983.
Spellbound
Another of the tunes from my band's live recording session this past July. [more inside]
i will (radiohead cover)
Spur-of-the-moment lo-fi live cover of the Radiohead song off Hail to the Thief, to which I added a couple of equally rough overdubs and some reverb. The guitar is out of tune and poorly played, but the vocal melody tweaks are kind of fun. [more inside]
Mistress Song
I played a gig last week with a violin player and a bassist and they recorded it. This is one of the tunes. [more inside]
En vivo
Live? [more inside]
11,888
Another song inspired by the Rodeo Ford car dealership. [more inside]
Inheritance
Basically a piece placed together to make use of certain new VST plugins I got. A sketch if you will. [more inside]
Smack Nine
Another experiment in using FLStudio to create music live. Weird time signatures abound! [more inside]
Riffra
A live mix I did for an impromptu basement rave in my house. A little rough, but came together nicely for something so spontaneous. Also, wendells. [more inside]
Piano piano piano
I think this is a pretty fun riff/song. Using a piano, loop pedal, and recording on my laptop
Critique the hell out of it, as usual. (And, yes, I'm technically no pianist.)
Any suggestions about how to 'flesh it out' would be welcome, too!
Terry Riley: In C
This recording is an experiment to see how well Ableton Live handles a performance of Terry Riley's "In C". (more inside)
Prom Night
Kind of rough. We just mic the room and record while we play. No mixing or anything. I play the bass.
No Title
This is a live version of a song I did with Video, a band I'm no longer in.
Superbole
Classical music meets instrumental tango salsa rock. Live recording from the Ohio Action benefit show, October, Kenyon College. I took the solo on this track, replacing vocals with a violin "guest vocalist."
New Mean (excerpt)
Excerpt from a live performance at AS220 in Providence, RI, by Flavour, which is Billy Gomberg and casconed (me). the sounds are entirely from circuit-bent children's toys.
Game Over
Emperor ZiLOG said, "Cough up another quarter, kid." Who was I to refuse the galactic imperative?
Radio Cure (cover)
A lofi, live, solo acoustic cover of the fantastic Yankee Hotel Foxtrot track, recorded a few years back. Music has been way too slow the last couple days, dammit.
my god it's full of
stars
Spit
spit, n. 1. a. The fluid secreted by the glands of the mouth, esp. when ejected; saliva, spittle; a clot of this.
FERB
FERB - 'Funky Electronic Rhythm n' Blues' is a little blues track I wrote and performed for a small class gig we did last year for the sake of putting on a show and having some random musical collaborations. I'd classify this as the first gig I ever did but fortunately I had some incredibly talented guys in the band to make me sound good!
Slush Spell
JunkWise is dubbed-out electronic Go-Go, "live".
Lovely & Charming (Live in SF, 2002) - Audiosports
Oh, you have so many secrets!

Beat 2 (Live in SF, 2002) Audiosports
Everybody seems to think it's so important that you have to grab for money all the time. Seems to be the main goal in everybody's life.
No Question (Live in SF, 2002) - Audiosports
Downtempo track played live with improvised noise bits and fx. For more, see http://www.albertoforero.com
Champagne Jam (Part 2) - Audiosports
This track is part 2 of a 23 minute mega mash up with a steady beat and some obscure samples. When I played this set live, I was happy to see people breakin' to it. Cool! http://www.albertoforero.com
Sumomo Mo Momo
Improvised sludge-rock by three people who'd never played together before. Stereo-action guitar pyrotechnics by nylon.
We Have the Technology
My band recorded this for a Song Fight. It's quirky casio acuostic rock, with just a hint of out of tune accordion, and percussion supplied by a djembe. That's me singing.
The New One
This is my former band, Heat Lorraine. I'm lead guitar on this track.
We had broken up already when we played this show. There was a lot of resentment floating around. We'd all had a few drinks before we went on, but our lead singer (and rhythm guitarist) Brian was drinking with a vengence.
Community Noise
Members of the public were invited to bring a non-musical object to a drop-in recording session. We recorded them making a noise with their thing ('things' included carrots, an umbrella, false teeth, keys, photoflash, adding machine, pints of beer), and then the next day I did an improvised gig using only the collected sounds as source material. This is an excerpt from the gig.
