The Stars By Day
Dedicated to tomorrow's solar eclipse. [more inside]
If I Can (You Can Too)
A pretty simple dance tune. I borrowed (well, adapted) a melody, I admit - but it was a 4/4 melody crying out to be in 3/4, and I wanted to set it right. This is track 2/5 on the Hellish EP.
Dark Waltz in Eb Minor
Please help identify the source of this droll waltz. [more inside]
Saint Simon
I came up with an arrangement of Saint Simon by the Shins on the wurlitzer. It's in some sort of 3/4, 6/8, 12/8 I'm-not-sure-what waltz/not waltz time signature.
Eunice Waltz
Bon Mardi Gras! Here's a traditional cajun waltz to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Trio with fiddle, accordion, guitar and vocals. [more inside]
Realization, Remembrance, Regret
Song four from Creature Of Habit. [more inside]
I Love Trash
Song #2 in my Unu Kanto Po Semajno series, where I am attempting to record one song per week in 2016. This song represents the period of Jan 9 through Jan 22. (I'm already off by a week, but I'll catch up.) [more inside]
Minor Waltz
A composition for 2 banjos in the classic style, composed by S.S. Stewart in 1882. I decided to give it the carnival dirge treatment.
stupid sexy monsters
Punked up waltz about how to avoid bedbugs. Still a little iffy on how the vocals are mixed. Thoughts? [more inside]
wilshire waltz one
Well, it's been about (over?) 3 years since I last posted. I haven't done a single music-related thing in that time. This one just kind of came out. It's an instrumental waltz about walking in the city.
A Waltz for David Pauley
Call Me Luna!
This has techno stuff arguing back and forth with pianos, a theme that's conflicted about what meter it's in, a cadence that keeps trying to change the key down a whole step, and ponies. Plenty of ponies. But I think this is my last Luna project for a while now!
Spectral Waltz
For solo piano, played by a nonpianist.
In The Curve
I did a youtube recording of this lovely tune. Decided to give it a pass through the iPad, since I'm on a roll lately. Folky ballad. [more inside]
Omaha
I have been looking for songs about Omaha lately and have found there aren't many. So I wrote one. [more inside]
Cook, Peary, and Byrd
Here is my entry into the "Educational Song" challenge from March of last year. (THIS IS AS FAST AS I WORK, PEOPLE.) It is a searing exposé / sing-along waltz that reveals the truth about early arctic exploration. My dad plays trumpet, my friend Jessica plays trombone and sings, my wife Sue sings just a little bit, and MeFi's own dubold and Pecinpah sing as well. Lyrics and (yes!) citations are inside. [more inside]
Willow Pond Waltz
Music for strings, inspired by a beautiful place and a beautiful afternoon.
Fortune's Son
My 2nd FAWM song of the month. A waltz about the ocean. [more inside]
Save This Song For Me
This started as a waltzy uke crooner but grew a bit bigger. I love the old-timey sound. If only I could add parade instruments. [more inside]
There Ain't Love In Your Heart
Country Western waltz ballad. Featuring faux-pedal steel and more twang than I usually evidence. [more inside]
Effects
This is my first cross-country collaboration with my old friend Blue Bar. He wrote the song--it's a melancholy waltz. He also sings on the track, and plays guitar. I fill in on accordion and drums.
My Voice on Carl's Home Answering Machine
Does what it says on the box, with guitar. Solve the Limerick Challenge! [more inside]
Half Empty Waltz
MeFi's own es_de_bah takes over vocal duties on this one -- I didn't feel like I was the right person to sing it, and so I spent some time going through the "Music Collaborator" Mefi Wiki page until I found someone who would be. (It was his excellent song "a perfect preservative" which made me consider him in the first place.) In addition, my dad plays trumpet; I play Magnus chord organ, flute, and interesting percussion. It's a waltz. [more inside]
Chiefest Microns
Instrumental banjo waltz, written this afternoon. [more inside]
Watching ET's Mom in Other Movies
A song starring Dee Wallace Stone with cortex on piano. [more inside]
breaking the rules
I added a guitar accompaniment to By The Grace of God's gorgeous a cappella country waltz. [more inside]
When I Was A Babay
My wife and I did this cover of a song by the Donner Party. Best lyrics ever. [more inside]
Fly me to the moon
I wanted to write a 3/4 lullaby kinda song. [more inside]
Deeper Towards My Maker
A belated MeFi Music Challenge entry, a waltz in D major. [more inside]
As kids
A short instrumental, played over an old tape of me reading something in French as a kid. [more inside]
Breaking the Rules (Rough Cut)
Country/jazz. acapella. An open letter to Amy Winehouse. Super Mario Galaxy. [more inside]
The Girl With the Biggest Hair
A song of love, desire, and big hair. [more inside]
Crunchy, Chrunchy Christmastime
A song for the season. Slightly disturbing. [more inside]
Have a Good Time
A waltz. From our album Planks of Grass, which is split between NYC and PDX songs, this one is NYC.
log
This is an old song, not written for the mefi music challenge water theme, but the lyrics kind of fit, so I decided to upload it. I actually wrote this waltz about having a cold, but it sounds very "oceanic."
You Promised There Would Be Girls [demo]
I wrote and recorded this today - it's basically a stream-of-consciousness account of one of the stranger and more entertaining parties I've attended.
Apparatchik Waltz
This is probably one of the few times you'll get to hear me "sing" on MeFi. This is another song I wrote for the rpmchallenge, singing, programming it, and playing toy piano on it... I think it's also the first song I ever wrote in 3/4 time.
A Sincere Ballroom Song
It's not an awful life / with not an awful lot to do / but I think an awful lot / of you.
Waltzing In Space
Heavily manipulated wall of vocal harmony, runover, stabbed, and buried in a shallow grave.
Waltz Number Two
I, too, recorded this song! It came out a little bit weird, which is probably appropriate.
False Waltz
A small musicbox tune for slightly lopsided dancers.
Light On
Someone is reliable but grouchy. Something very bad might have happened.
I got my neighbour to play the accordian.
