Like most of what I'm posting, this is more a piece of a song than a complete song, but still I love the way it's rhythm loosely rolls about, almost as though it were both casually going with the flow and madly careening forward at the same time.

Several people have been requesting this track so I decided to go ahead and post it. Someday I'll release an extended commercial version with vocals. Here's a sample bar from the chorus:

"Here we are now sinking slowly
Clinging to what once was holy."

One of my college television assignments was to create a 30 second swap meet commercial. This is the soundtrack I threw together to accompany that project.

This song was created entirely with my voice. Its not the best voice sampled song I've ever heard (the best would be "World of Voices" by Awesome) but this is easily one of the wierdest songs I've ever heard.

At some point a friend of mine suggested I make a contemporary pop/hip hop style dance song and I started experimenting. I quickly abandoned the goal of a heavy dance rhythm and followed a more sublime direction, trying to mix the flashiness of dance/pop, a touch of restrained jazz, and my usual epic style, resulting in a rather unique blend.

Several years ago my brother and I created a slideshow for my aunt's retirement party. (She was a preschool teacher.) I created this song to accompany the colorful DVD menu.

(No connection to the Domino's Pizza Noid. I just think the word sounds cool.) This song is a particular style I like to call Jabberwocky music.

This is a trio of songs I created for my sister's wedding. The first song was for the bridal party's entrance (which turned out to be far shorter than the actual song). The second was for when my sister walked down the aisle. The third was played once the couple was officially married and were exiting the church to immense applause.

StarHopper

2007-12-04T12:10:00.000-08:00

This song was one of several songs I created for the space adventurer Jack StarHopper. He was sort of an unconscious rip off of both Commander Keen and Spaceman Spiff, though this guy was cooler because he had "Jaywalk the Chimp" for his sidekick, and Jaywalk's ship that they flew around in was shaped like a glove holding a giant banana, and even though StarHopper looked something like a kid he was actually an adult and had a love interest. (She was a galactic princess of course.)
