A blend of singer-songwriter, pop and chill. Poptronica.

The Jewel Is In The Flower

Shame (Cape Cod)

This is a song that I have been tinkering with for a few years (an earlier version is also posted). I wanted it to be darker than the original. I've added some bizarro samples and pulled a guitar solo from a different song that I hadn't yet completed.

Passive Aggressive (2015 remix)

Perfectly Fine Peaceful Feeling

The Sun Will Shine

A novelty/dance/new wave track from the mid-80s.

Ugly Shirt (mid 80s)

A somewhat noisy cassette to mp3 transfer of The Leaders' first single from 1981 (It was a double A side single - this is the side that I wrote.)
Despite many attempts the first few seconds are cut off.

I'll Leave You Alone (with The Leaders)

Another one from my archive of cassette demos. In the early 80’s our band, The Leaders, lived together in a house in East Meadow, Long Island. Bob and I would each write songs and demo them as ‘one man bands’ on a 4 track TEAC deck that Bob had. I subscribed to the ‘kitchen sink’ method of production which required lots of track bouncing. This added noise and saturation but it also required lots of invention. The snare hits were actually a set of wooden coasters duct taped together and hit with a drumstick until they broke (about two thirds through the track). I did some bass noodling throughout which I still like. As with a lot of the cassette to mp3 conversions, the first couple of seconds seem to get cut off for reasons I still can’t figure out….Enjoy!

I'm Getting Strong (1983 Demo)

Paradise Revisited

Temptation (2018 mix)

A recording I started in Berlin a few summers ago...and came back to.
My music is a cross of singer-songwriter feel and programming in #LogicProX. A genre I call 'Laptop Folk'.
