THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

August 29th, 2011

Mike: erf came to visit. We recorded this. There’s something much “better” in the pipe. erf: I wouldn’t say that it is necessarily “better”. I mean, this is a subjective measure, isn’t it? Mike: … erf: Fine. We did this very quickly, wanting to record a second thing before the conclusion of our first in-person [...]

Cantspeak (Dropout)

March 15th, 2011

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Yesterday, I dug through a few hard drives looking for some digital photos. I found (most of) the photos, but I ended up finding something more interesting… pretty much every song I’ve recorded on my computer since 2001. Multitracks and all. My packrat tendencies have paid off, I [...]

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Karma Police Here’s an instrumental cover of Karma Police made using Mario Paint Composer. Enjoy! Also, I’m new posting, so if anyone has any pro-tips (like how to embed the audio dealy) then I’d love to hear it.

Play With Fire

October 17th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Play_with_Fire_HG Sorry Bill, but I had this one queued up for today. This one is an early Rolling Stones song. Their 60′s and early 70′s records always struck me as being raw and non-pretentious. No pitch correction. Guitar, piano and organ. Once again I sound like a comatose [...]

An humbling experience

July 4th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] billiejean Michael Jackson died last week. It’s barely at the edge of my memory, but I remember listening to Thriller on tape until my walkman broke, listening to Dangerous on my stereo. I didn’t even realize how much I had listened to Bad until I bought it again [...]

I attempted to make an arrangement of Belle Qui Tiens Ma Vie, an ancient piece credited to Thoinot Arbeau who published it in the 16th century.  I was thinking of using it for my game because it has a very distinctively renaissance sound. I haven’t decided if I’m actually going to though. For one, I’ve [...]

Dark As A Dungeon

February 26th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Dark As A Dungeon This song was an experiment with acoustic recording, vocal harmony, and singing. It features a guitar, three voice tracks, and a ukulele. I didn’t plan the vocal harmonies beforehand. Instead I punched in and out a lot until I found something that I liked. [...]

I tried to get this done last week, but I ran out of time, then got sick. I’ve gotten well enough to spend some time to finish the track before eating a bite and going back to bed. This is a note for note cover of two songs from a video game.  If you’re the [...]
