Samples of artists and concerts that I've recorded

DPSW Excerpt

Chris West Excerpt

The first in a series of music that I attempt to create in one hour or less.  This one was a little longer, heh, but it's more of an aspiration than anything.

Nebula

Another one-hour music creation (well, 1:20, but getting closer!)

Leaf On The Wind

Another one-hour song try.  1hr 45min, less than last time, but still better than the first try!  Still refining my process and everything; with a template, I was able to do a bit more this time.

In addition, this particular piece is designed to repeat perfectly, indefinitely.  Download it and give that a try!  I've found it works best in iTunes, but some phones and other devices may repeat songs better, too.  So turn on "Repeat One" on your player, fire the song up, and listen.....forever.....

Push The Block

Here's a take on one of my favorite songs by Lauren Vessio; it's quite a bit different from the original.

The Woods

Another one of Lauren Vessio's tunes - quite possibly her most popular one, done with a little twist and a lot of effects.

Shut Up And Dub With It (explicit)

The indomitable Ashley Norton wrote this one; definitely one of my favorites of hers.  Definitely wanted to rock out with this one.  
She and I are in a power folk duo called Whitherward; check out our SoundCloud at http://soundcloud.com/whitherward, or check out Ashley's solo stuff at http://www.ashleynortonmusic.com

Average Jane

1:25 on this one; not so bad!  In truth, I've had the bass line kicking around in my head for awhile, so I did have a bit of a head start, as it were.  Still, fun stuff nonetheless :-)

Ouroboros

This was one of the first things I ever did on the first Mac I ever owned; it travelled all the way from GarageBand to Logic 8 before it was in its final form.

The only instrument I contributed was the bass; the rest of the parts were loops from the Apple Loops Jam Packs that I owned.

For you, Blue.

Seasons

My experience as a songwriter was somewhat limited before I moved to Nashville from my native Saint Louis, Missouri; I had been in groups before and done some limited songwriting, but nothing on the scale of what I do now.  I have been fortunate to work with some eclectic, powerful individuals who draw so much of themselves on the songwriter's canvas, and I have taken all of their experiences to heart as I write my own story through this music.

My greatest efforts so far have been with the group Ellvee, fronted by my dearest friend and  prolific songwriter Lauren Vessio.  I have been so lucky to work with such a genuine talent, and the experience has deeply affected how I approach my own work.  Lauren and I's collaborative efforts are some of the best music I've ever worked on in my life, and I look forward to the amazing songs we create in the future.

I have also been fortunate to work with exceptionally talented songwriters such as Ashley Norton, Meredith Blis, and Grant Reiff.  Through our combined experiences, I have gained the confidence I needed to become a better performer and songwriter.

I am a bassist by trade, and I am always looking for new things to work on; new songs to create, share, and be a part of.  Feel free to contact me if you would like to play together sometime.
