I decided to beat the winter blues in a constructive way... by remixing Gremlins! Composed by the incomparable Jerry Goldsmith. Also my first ever remix, be nice.

Gremlins - Bill Gray Remix

Track one of fourteen of February Album Writing Month 2017. The prompt was "Dreams," so I tried to capture the feeling of slipping into the last dream of the morning. Kinda Daftmau5 Dead Punk but if they were one guy who had no idea what he's doing.

One More Dream

Track two of fourteen of February Album Writing Month 2017. I tried to go outside of my wheelhouse and write a break-up song, but try as I might, I couldn't get it to stop sounding like some weird mysterious TV show theme song...

Two Apices

Track five of fourteen of February Album Writing Month 2017. The challenge for this week was to base a song around a classical composition, so I indulged in bringing one of my favorite Mozart pieces down to half-tempo and experimenting with it. And I ended up with probably my favorite track so far. :)

Five Boroughs

Track seven of fourteen of February Album Writing Month 2017. This started out as testing a few Reason features (pattern sequencers, scale filters, combinators, etc.), but I ended up figuring out a semi-decent way to simulate a wah-wah turntable scratch without doing any actual scratching.

Seven Costanza's First Day Of School

Composed for the Damnationland short "The Prisoner" from Brothers Brown and Through the Door Productions LLC.

Releasing the Prisoner

Track four of fourteen for February Album Writing Month 2018.

I had my friend John improvise into a mic, made a bassline out of it, then had a bunch of pals suggest words I had to use in the rap. This surprisingly yielded a song with a theme and not just nonsense. Sort of.

Additional vocals by John.

LYRICS:
Looking good? Check.
Feeling good? Also check.
Let’s go.

Uploading beats to Soundcloud and Allihoopa,
I shred more lettuce than you got on your chalupa.
You can call me Al Capone cuz I speak easy.
Lyrics leave my lips and the ladies wanna please me.
I got charm and lots of space on each arm.
If there’s a fire down below then let me hear the alarm.
So come over here and whisper something nasty.
You get my blood flowing like an angioplasty.
So rock hard it must be clobber o’clock,
And when I say “rock hard,” I am referring to my music.
Got more super girls than Comic-Con
And I’m surrounded by wetness like Tenochtitlan.
I’ve bedded over 9000, power level like Goku. 
So many little black books, I got tsundoku.
I’m so fresh that they call me Febreze,
Then I freeze. And I go weak in my knees.

‘Cuz all of this shit’s made up.
It’s all to pump myself up.
I try, but I’m shy, just an ordinary guy,
So I lie, but inside, this is strictly in my mind,
But now I got the jitters and I feel like I’m covered in
A billion cockroach legs.

Here’s my life story, I want you to be a chapter.
You’re such a clever girl, I’ll call you velociraptor.
Not to imply that you’re a dinosaur,
I mean, unless you think that’s cool, uh, hey, let’s bang on the floor?
Mmm, yeah, sex! Feels so good.
I’m gonna give your Dunsinane a little Birnam Wood.
See, I got a package here labeled Tony Stank.
Now turn around and let me give that booty a-- what?
Oh, the package was a reference to the Marvel Civil War.
I honestly had figured that you’d seen it before.
Okay! I’m sure you’re caught up on your MCU.
I’m sorry if I sounded condescending to you.
You’re right, that line sucked but I just can’t stop.
So brace yourself for all the badass rhymes I’m gonna drop.
I’m so like a thing people call me that thing
And I’ve got more things than yet another thing.

All of this shit’s made up
Just tryin’ to pump myself up.
I try, but I’m shy, just an ordinary guy,
So I lie, but inside, this is strictly in my mind.
It feels like I’m covered in
A billion cockroach legs.

Stroll up to the bar feelin’ like James Bond
When I see I’ve caught the eye of a pretty little blonde.
I-- SHIT SHIT SHIT, SHE’S COMING OVER HERE.
OH GOD, I’M NOT READY, AUGGGHHH-- Hi.

‘Cuz all of this shit’s made up
It’s all to pump myself up
I try, but I’m shy, just an ordinary guy,
So I lie, but inside, this is strictly in my mind,
But now I got the jitters and I feel like I’m covered in
A billion cockroach legs.

A Billion Cockroach Legs

Track eleven of fourteen for February Album Writing Month 2018. Just some straight acid house big beat bangin' goodness that I haven't made in like a decade. MMM MMM, juicy indeed.

Vocals by Ephraim Gadsby, reading from P. G. Wodehouse.

LYRICS:
It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
Spring and all that. Right ho!
It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
So I have been informed, sir.

In the spring, Jeeves, a livelier iris gleams upon the burnished dove.
I'm going into the park to do pastoral dances.

It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
Spring and all that. Right ho!
It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
It's a juicy morning.
So I have been informed, sir.

Juicy Morning

Track thirteen of fourteen for February Album Month 2018. A humble attempt at paying homage to one of my favorite film composers.

Crept Near John

BONUS TRACK SIXTEEN of fourteen for February Album Month 2018. Since covers don't count, I always like to celebrate finishing FAWM by covering a theme song.

Written by Mike Post.

Theme From Quantum Leap

Like the best things, it started as a joke. I loaded a super goofy sample into my grain synthesizer and then decided to make it not goofy. Lemme know how I did.

The Spice Must Flow

Gettin' a little feisty and a little heisty on the drums.

Featuring the voices of John, Ephraim Gadsby, and Zach Perhaps.

Take The Money And Drum

I have no memory of this song and I don't know whose voice this is. Happy Easter.

Daddy Ham

Hey, I've been remixed for the first time! (That I know of!) Check out Righteous Raccoon's verminous version of The Spice Must Flow!

The Spice Must Flow - Rodent Remix by Righteous Raccoon

Embark

Every electronic musician has to make at least one song with NASA recordings and this is mine.

We Have Arrived

Polycrystal

Here are some pieces I composed for the short film Crispy Duck, a Through The Door production directed by Mark Hensley for Damnationland 2018.

Selected Score from the Film Crispy Duck

Five years ago I tried my hand at making a Steinski-style mixtape track. (@Steinski-1) I made this with ACID Pro 8 and the laptop I used died REAL hard so it's locked in time. I never uploaded it because it's all samples but nobody cares in 2019. Enjoy it until somebody cares! I'm five years better at music now so parts of it sound EXTREMELY ROUGH to me but hey, it's nice to see where you've been. And I have a new mix audio collage whatever coming next week (or it's already here if you live in the future)! Music!

When Was I Ever Thinking

I have two hands and a face. I make sounds for people that like sounds.
