The Empire Strikes Back READ ALONG SOUND.

a very thoughtful friend of mine gave me a 33 RPM, read along record of The Empire Strikes Back. Thank You. the last few minutes of side two skip in a few places, so i never really found out what happened to Han and Carrie Fisher, but i decided to make the best of this defect and turn it into something neat. THANKS. ENJOY.

Back To The Way It Should Be

here's a new set of sounds to hear. these are the first to be made with my new recording rig so it's going to be a little different than before. better sound, but not much better playing, but what can you do? practice, i suppose.

People Don't Like Science... but you knew that.

People wrap themselves in their beliefs so tightly that not even the truth can set them free.

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!
