Koopa [SciFi Version]

This song is all about love, and can be about anyone, and anything. 
Dedicated to my partner in life, the danciest person I know, Mrs. B. For me, she will always be the “The One”.

Are You the One?

Groovin’ and more groovin’ with a side of rockin’. 
Originally written for my wife, this is a new recording of an old song, and contains a section that quotes an even older song called “King’s Crossing”, by my father, Cornelius Bumpus.

The Hunger/King's Crossing (2024)

Slick, hypnotic Hammond vamp featuring Cornelius Bumpus on tenor saxophone. 

I had this vamp sitting around for almost 15 years (and it actually came from something I wrote that’s much older). Even when I started working on it again last year, I didn’t really know what to do with it. It was mostly a chance to dust off my drum programming chops and experiment with the HammondB3X plugin, which ended up sounding cool, but it still didn’t feel complete. I still wasn’t sure what I had. So the vamp sat around a while longer. 
One day, I had an idea… I came across a favorite among my dad’s old 4-track demos and realized I could create a rare opportunity to collaborate with him again. It came together fast, and it wasn’t forced. The tenor saxophone track was already in the right key, fit the mood perfectly, and required very little adjusting. There were moments where I could hear dad’s voice saying things like, “if you wait and push that lick back a couple beats, that’ll sound a lot more like how I’d phrase it”. 
By the time I’d finished, I had a different song in front of me, and Cornelius Bumpus once again, had the Last Word. 
Thanks, dad 💜

Dorado Vamp (The Last Word)

Creative re-interpretation of a Kenji Yamazaki classic from Mega Man 2 (GameBoy), “Boss Stage”. 

I always loved the music from the Mega Man (Nintendo) games. So much of that chiptune stuff from this franchise (and several others) has been stuck in my head since the late 80’s/early 90’s.

Mega Man 2 [GB]- Boss Stage

Here’s some rockin’ shit. 
A reboot of an old song, written for some good friend friends. Good old prog punk rock with a fusion guitar solo section and a slow, groovin’ breakdown. Total lack of convention all around. Enjoy.🤘🏾

Part 1 of a slightly more spacey, slightly rockin’ reinterpretation of the timeless, underrated gem, penned by Bob James, opener of the classic “Mister Magic” album.

Earth Tones (Pt. 1)

Turned the melancholy up for this one, Simpsons fans. Some electronic ambient shit, but also some rockin' shit towards the end, if you manage to make it that far.

Time Is a Weapon

A doomy, ambient trackI started in 2010. Fast forward 14 years, and I’m hearing other layers on it. I thought, “sure, I’ll try it!”, and here we are today. 
Unexpected upgrade. 
I hope you enjoy this updated doomy, ambient offering.
“Shifting Focus”: born in 2010, completed in 2024.
