So after all these years of being a fan, a friend, & a bandmate, I finally recorded a Ghoul Poon cover (by chance & semi-accident per usual). This one's a deep cut from the 2007 EP, "She's Dead, Wait." 

Made with a 'side of the road score' Concertmate 1100 keyboard with a couple guitar effects pedals through a Boss RC-30 loop station into GarageBand. Vocals through an instrument mic also with some pre and post effects. April 2021.

The entire Ghoul Poon collection is available for free at GhoulPoon.bandcamp.com

Being Both "Picturing Picturing" (djdrummernk Remix)

A lo-fi, bedroom cover of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World" from her 1962 album, The End of the World.

Guitar, bass, keyboard (sounds & percussion), & vocals performed, recorded, & mixed by Christopher Simple (Brown) 

Had the bug to cover this song when it was stuck in my head a lot during the end of Summer 2021. So I (slowly and very periodically) worked on it from Fall 2021 to it's final mixed version at the end of June 2022.

Created/ Recorded Memorial Day (May 25th) 2020 by Christopher Brown. 

All sounds are made with a microKorg synth and looped using a Flashback delay pedal through an Ampeq PortaBass250 amp, recorded live via an iPhone 6, and trimmed/ mixed in GarageBand on a MacBook Pro. 

Tracks are in order of creation, except "T - 00:01:00 Till Re-Entry" which is the first minute-ish of all previous tracks played simultaneously.

A Monday Aboard The Dreamship (The Vessel Takes Orbit)

I was noodling some acoustic guitar and browsing old lyrics/ ideas and accidentally made this song. It had a fun nostalgic feel so I poorly recorded this electric demo. 
Doesn't sound like 2020, but feels like 2020. August 2020.
