Inspired by bands like Mr.Bungle, Dog Fashion Disco, Cardiacs, and Periphery; I have returned to the inexhaustible well that is the proverbial kitchen sink. A raucous and groovy Metal track with a lot of alternating quiet and loud.

There's also a video for this one, but the sound quality isn't as good there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gWMDxtFq6A

Online Exclusive

Harassed By Rats

This is a remake and extension of the Quake theme by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. I wanted to make the theme sound larger and more intense while retaining the tone of the original.

Quake Theme (remix)

Here's an uplifting track with a whole lot of stuff going on. It starts off with a piano and some slow swelling strings, building up into a big beat with a bunch of chops and stutters. After this it drops you into a wall of sound with big guitars, more strings, and an e.piano. There's also a violin doing it's soloing thing and then a new synth and an 808 and...okay, how about you just listen to it?

What This Could Be

The spiritual successor to Rupture, the sequel to Harassed By Rats, the video concept knock-off of Falling Through The Air. It's Superposition, the way in which we all die!

Superposition

A reimagining of a tune I wrote over 20 years ago.

Unrealistic 2022

Doing my pop music thing again with big vocals and catchy melodies. Also trying out a more breathy voice and some falsetto layers for the verses. All this poptasticness is on top of some harsh grinding synths and a thick 808 beat.

Neon Glow

Epically super-enhanced mega big large tune update to old tune that was already pretty huge big. 

The video is a midijam / midis2jam2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_zOynooUKo

Détaché Panique 2022

Some nonsense that only took me 18 years to finish. Enjoy!

Bermuda Shuffle 2022

I heard you like distorted guitars and big drums. Well have I got the thing for you, bucko. It's this track. Please listen to it.

Mind of a Lunatic 2022

Tuesday

A remake which shifts things from being more electronic to being more rock oriented. Now with whole grains!

What This Could Be 2022

My entry for the Cyberpunk 2077 Growl FM music contest. I didn't win, but I got a good track out of it.

Top Floor

Be cool, honey bunny, be cool.

This is a remake of something I wrote in 2010.

Half Past 2023

Memory Loss

This is my take on that particular style of Fast Rock plus Orchestral plus Electronic mixture so often used in anime and anime-themed video games.

Bullet Hell

Violins and Harpsichords clash against distorted guitars and breakbeats. It's time to scream and thrash around on the ground, in the woods, at night, naked, covered in mud.

Hard and Slow

A remake of a tune I wrote 17 years ago, now with more of a Rock vibe to it. It was always there, but now it's very Rock.

Please Don't Go

Surfer's Requiem: Dies Irae

Cowboys. Outlaws. Bandits. Gunslingers. Bounty Hunters. Rustlers. You know what I'm talking about. The Frontier. The Wild West. The Buttery Convocation. Okay, maybe not that last one.

Anyway, I like Westerns. I like Spaghetti Westerns. I like the iconic imagery evocative of the lawless western frontier. The Western setting has always been one I've enjoyed in film and music. The sound of the west is magical. "Riders of Vengeance" is my latest foray into that sound space.

Previous excursions include "Lonestar" and "The Stranger", both available on the music page of my website.

Riders of Vengeance

You know what I like? The music of 1997. Big Beat. Some of my favorite albums were released that year. The Prodigy's Fat of the Land, The Crystal Method's Vegas, The Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole.

Well, this new track is inspired by all that sort of stuff. Big Beat mixed with Indian sounds and themes. I tried to find a good mix between acoustic instruments and synths, so that the track wouldn't be dominated by either one.

Sthaga

A choir and a metal band get in a fight with a drum machine.

Rupture

I like Prog Rock, and Jazz, and stuff like that. Making music is fun.

Explosive Heat Death

Swindler's Skank

Some futuristic racing music. Or at least, the future of 2097 as imagined in 1996. Or maybe it was 2048 in 2012, or sometime in between. Regardless, choose your team and get out onto the track for some anti-gravity racing!

I made this track in the spirit of the WipEout racing games.

Disruptor Cannon

Smear Vaseline on the camera lens and get ready for a choreographed fist fight on a light-up dance floor.

Battle Disco

That is one murderous-ass taxi, man. It’s like…like some sort of Murder Taxi.

You know what I mean?

Murder Taxi.

Anyways, this is a funky electro something-or-other type track. A phat beat, beefy synths, slap bass, distorted clavinet and lots of little filtery sweepy effects.

Murder Taxi

Hey, man, why not just chill out for a bit? Yeah. That sounds nice, doesn't it? Perhaps you can play this song while you're chilling. You know, to help you chill.

Floating Synths. Evolving ambience. The beat is pretty fat too. Oh and this track has vocals. Yeah, I don't do that often, but I did and I think it turned out pretty good.
