Leaving A Dead Planet


An experimental video/animation i made recently about the digital world we choose over the tangible life we sense. In the digital, everything is everything... in the sensory, everything is you.

3/20/10 Arrangement Test 1



New concept. We were fairly limited in our instrument selection for this session, so I decided to try something new. To choose from we had a clavanova, and drumset, and one amp to work with. The first round was guitar, clav and drums, so we each picked one and recorded... then rotate... record again... rotate... record again... rotate... and so on until 6 tracks were made. These are those.

they are not all perfect, but they each have their golden moments.

three slash two slash two-thousand ten

A friend came over to help me record a demo of a riff i've been working on. After hours of layering instruments over a simple guitar/drums mono track, i ended up with this loud, constantly building song that sounds like hundreds of cars rolling across the desert towards salvation. listen here... if your into that sort of thing.

There's also a special BONUS track that i made in about 20 mins after mixing on track one was complete. BONUS!
