Untitled Chiptune Suite
This is a short (just over 2 minutes) chiptune piece with three distinct moods and melodies arranged into four segments played on a Sega Master System. It's got a nice bop when required, and the melancholy section was a little bit inspired by the theme to Metroid II. [more inside]
Three Halves (Inside Problems)
A short, conflicted song somewhat in the style of my (much older) Headphones. This one's about having too much of things. [more inside]
Punchin' Machine
My friend* is way better at side-scrolling beat 'em ups than I am. [more inside]
1000 Years Ago (We Were All Friends)
Weird that we all suddenly passed out here and had the same dream of events in the distant past. [more inside]
Systems
Some chiptune dnb* played on an sms** and an snes***, both midi controlled. [more inside]

Flip Side
What's it like when you feel like you're on the flip side from everyone else on the street?
A vaporwave exploration of the lo-fi a e s t h e t i c.
25 Seconds of Wuthering Heights
I never finished my entry for the Kate Bush music challenge a while back, but I liked the bit I did get done.
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]
Sunroof glass
Trying out a new thing with an honest song about actual life. [more inside]
So Much for the Tolerant Left (Demo)
This song is dedicated to Richard Spencer's unknown assailant. [more inside]
puzzle box
Games with arpeggiators. Would probably make a good background bit for a podcast about mysterious goings on in an abandoned synthesizer factory.
Anarchist
Brief, brief cargo-cult '90s jungle piece without the Amen break. [more inside]
The Sugar in my Tea
A short piano piece that all spins out from the opening motto: "You are the sugar in my tea..."
Thanksgiving Snow
Short piano solo: Snow falls on the prairie.
untitled
The vastness of making electronic music is really overwhelming to me, so I'm trying to just get over that and create some things.
raining
when it rains, it pours [more inside]
Song For Cyn
Sometimes you write something, and then forget you've written it, and then find it again while cleaning your computer. [more inside]
Appear Amid
Song from 2010. I think this was the peak of my abilities in trying to make my whistling sound like some sort of saw/e-bow/loon combo. Identical guitar part to the end of my song Apfel Augen. Whistling with stairwell reverb, guitar, and a couple pulsing effects I added in a just-now-at-3am-we'll-see-what-it-sounds-like-in-the-morning fever.
Taxi in Cairo
A return to lo-fi, less-than-a-minute songs as my laptop mic coughs up its last breaths. New songs played with Ouds and recorded on nicer microphones coming soon! [more inside]
I'm I Am
Rap song. It's pretty short, so just listen to it. Mind your subwoofers.
The Clapping Song
For some reason, I love songs with any kind of organic sounds in them (e.g. clapping, snapping, whistling, etc.). So I made this song in about 20 mins to demonstrate my love for claps. [more inside]
The Tunneling Horror
A small New England town finds itself unable to eliminate the tentacled terror that lurks deep beneath its basements and sewers.

TAKE 1 TO 2 TABLETS BY MOUTH EVERY 4 TO 6 HOURS IF NEEDED FOR PAIN [more inside]
Tentacles - Just Not That Creepy
Inspired by a short conversation with my girlfriend. [more inside]
Trust Authority
Trust the government. Trust authority.

Another Day at the Robot Factory
It's one minute long. It's background music for a robot factory.
Ether
A vignette - bend sinister. [more inside]
Saturday's Lament
A goofy little 30-second vignette. [more inside]
No No No (The Ballad of Gina and Bobby)
A lazy little two-minute blast that can't even manage to find room for a bridge. [more inside]
Vignette#2 - Widow's Weeds
An observation on the bitterness of divorce - not, thankfully, from personal experience. [more inside]
The Great Space Darkness vs Love
A short but epic song that dares to ask: Is our only hope in this war against the great space darkness the love of an ageless, gender neutral couple? Will their love be enough? [more inside]
Call in Sick
It snowed today. [more inside]
Distressed
For the past several months, I've been working on a number of songs, but haven't completed anything. Well, I was in a lousy mood yesterday and decided to barrel through creating a short song about what I was going on in my brain. [more inside]
My Voice on Carl's Home Answering Machine
Does what it says on the box, with guitar. Solve the Limerick Challenge! [more inside]
Triple Threat Position
*Yet* another short, syrupy-melancholic instrumental. This time with extra dobro. [more inside]
Here Comes Santa Claus
In which "say your prayers" is somewhat threatening. [more inside]
One Moment
A short, lo-fi, catchy piano jam. [more inside]
face to face to face
Two days ago I shot some video: a reflection of a man riding a Tokyo train, watching another moving train (a shinkansen) pass by on a parallel track. I made this music today, to serve as accompaniment for the 58-second film. I uploaded the video earlier this evening to YouTube here.
Short Hills CRITIQUE VERSION
Please listen to, think about, and heavily critique this song! I'm working on mixing it and finishing up the recording, and would hugely appreciate any constructive criticism! Thx!
Bathe Your Children
Insomnia is a terrible thing to waste.
The Madness Encroaches
So, for this year's RPM Challenge I have decided to go all out and write a rock opera. This is one of the few songs I have worked on so far, and the first one that has been completed. Granted, this should be somewhere in the middle or the rock opera, but, still, it's the first one finished, so I'm posting it anyway. [more inside]
Allergies
So, I was planning on recording my ukulele rendition of Holy Diver (yes, that one), but my allergies were acting up so I felt like crap. So, that's what this song is about. And it's NSFW. [more inside]
Then She Begins ...
Tonight, I created a really, really, really good remake of an old song of mine. I don't even know if I have a copy of the original anymore, but ... whoa ... this thing ended up being kind of epic. Features horns and toy pianos, a reed organ, both regular and electric ukulele, some drums. I even tried my hand at playing the bass. Short, simple lyrics within (of which I am also rather proud)! [more inside]
Out of Gas
This is a short song I've made for my girlfriend in the past half hour or so. It is a true story.
Grendel
Sort of strived for emotional content with this one. If the first part is asking questions, the second is not liking the answers.
Aidu
Bagatelle with a capital b, e, l, l. In the same family as Sam's Company. 44 seconds.
four ewe [the cover]
I'm Afriad That There Has Been an Accident
But it was quick and it was painless.
