High Flyer (feat deValmont)

September 4th, 2011

Today an individual this site knows as deValmont came over and our conversational thread went like this: I started talking about aircraft which convert into cars that can be driven on standard roads. I was thinking specifically about this one: We then talked about the tolerances of aircraft, and how a mechanical failure in one [...]

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 [...]

Koala Song

March 21st, 2010

It’s been a while since things got overwhelming and I haven’t been able to record with any regularity. Still, I’ve found a few occasions.

A Common Expert

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] This song’s a collaboration with Matthew K. Manning, who I’ve been playing music with for fifteen years off an on. We had a high school band together called Royce, and then played in a rock group called Made in China for a few years. After not playing together [...]

When She Moved

August 6th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] WhenSheMoved Here’s a little song about how sometimes I feel like I’m a bit more grown up and have my feelings a bit more under control now. How do I feel about that? I’m torn! Thus: a song. Drumming and bassing antics by King Solomon, who also prevailed [...]
