Bellevue Crunk

June 24th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Bellevue (NE) Crunk When you go to Omaha, NE to meet a bunch of people you’ve only know through the Internet, things are bound to go south quickly, at least if pitchers of Busch Light are involved. Last Friday, we all went bar hopping in Bellevue, where the [...]

11 Guitars

June 17th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] 11 Guitars I was having trouble thinking of something to do. My other music projects were coming along slowly. I felt like playing guitar, so I decided it would be a good challenge to make something using only guitar and effects. I use a bunch of different delays. [...]

Chip 32 First Draft

June 11th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] chip32 I found this awesome vsti Chip 32 and decided to try it out. I made this track using Chip 32, Toad, and Peach. I am not happy with it in its current state, I probably will change some things about this song in the future.

Uhh Let’s Not Be Civil

June 4th, 2009

So here’s what it is. I had a song that was all about how you can’t be a person that you’re not trying to be, in fact that’s the chorus right there, it was about hard work and that kind of thing plus my own psychological issues because why stop that right? And I had [...]

Trucashun

May 26th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] download I wanted to do a more rocking song than I’ve been doing lately, and I also wanted to have a song that started off with a slow acoustic(ish) intro before going into the rock. I’m not super enthused about this one and spent a bit of time [...]

The Rain Before The Waves

May 20th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] download (6.7 MB) Long ago, I was walking on the beach with someone I loved very much, when she stopped and wrote “_____ loves you” in the sand. It made me happy and sad at the same time. I was thinking about that when I wrote this a [...]

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] f-ing-danger This is my Fucking Danger post. It is not complete, as you will notice. This is because I wanted some rap verses on it, so I figured I’d put it out there as is (basically a beat and a hook) and see if anyone is interested. If [...]

Again

May 12th, 2009

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] download (6.7 MB) I was going to do a rap song, but I haven’t been feeling the whole braggart vibe as of late, so I did something which is almost entirely the opposite of that. I started writing the song on the ukulele, writing the melody first. I [...]

So this song started with the melody. When I put chords to it, they were dirt simple cowboy chords. Then another part of the melody came to me later and I added that. Since then this song has been stuck in my head which as you can imagine gets a little irritating. So I’m happy [...]

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] bomb My brother Corey wanted to record with me this weekend. Neither of us had any real good ideas but I explained the album premise to Corey and we contemplated this for several hours. Finally, Corey wrote this little ditty that we recorded. There’s nothing unusual in the [...]
