There could be no more appropriate first sound to upload than this. I got really frustrated one night. Like, really frustrated. 

So I started banging on my guitar and turning tuning pegs until it was basically unusable. Than I started pulling on the strings until they broke, leaving three intact strings by the time I was done with my tirade. 

Then, out of nowhere, I accidentally hit a "chord". It actually was kinda cool and melodic. So I hit record, and played this straight away. 

Not the best thing I've ever done, but it sorta sums up my whole approach.

This is from October of '09. By then, I had a fairly shitty drum machine and a mixer, and had started just dropping my bag as I walked in the door, grabbing the guitar, and recording whatever came out that day. Sort of like an audio diary. 

This is longish, but I think there's some fun sounds in there. A simple drum beat, and a quick rhythm guitar to start. Get the loop going, and then off into who knows what. Love how shitty and busted the guitar sounds at times.

An oldie from February of 2009. Features a sample from an old World Music textbook CD I got in college. Always liked this one and it's spookiness.
