first track on the painting tape "888" we put out in 1994,   our first tape.  put out a tape pretty quick for only coming together that year.  this is our first configuration.  4 members.   phil allison adam jason.  recording is not so great but we weren't wealthy and did everything ourselves and we weren't experts at what we were doing.  so not great quality.  the tape was recorded in a basement.  our good friend was at the top of the basement stairs perhaps trying not to hear the loudness not far away from him so he could tell how it sounded in the headphones in the recording machine(a 4 track) basically this song is about a UFO.  perhaps more but that's the easy thing to take from this song.  

Ship Of Light (by the painting)

i think this is from pre "the painting"?  some thing i fiddled with at the condo in my basement and of course was not inspired by my bloody valentine at all.  wink wink.  very short song.  liked the words.  loved the feeling.  just having fun.  

you turn my heart to gold
you make my soul feel sold

alchemist, i'll get you for this!

i'm trying to master mastering.  and to finish an old album that i'm proud of

from 2001!  this is an ANASET song.  this mostly is not MY song, meaning that i only created the name and the words and the vocal melody and my keyboard part.  some of the songs i put up will just be for demonstration purposes of things i've done over the last 2 decades or so.  on this song i do vocals and keyboard.  the words are about desiring to help friends that were going through difficult situations at the time.  a funny thing about this song is that some band members and some fans think i'm singing "captain solo" towards the end.  it's actually "captive so long" but i think that's great and very funny.  and i love star wars.        

03 Captive (a song by Anaset)

this is "autumn to spring" by "Our Space In Time" in 2004.  this song was on an e.p.  i played the drums on this song and i think i did a little keyboard line.  this drum beat was fun to play and fun for me to hear.    

Autumn To Spring(by "our space in time")

this was my first band, simon-pure.  i played the "drums" on this song.   this is from 1992.  i had a drum machine hooked into a keyboard via MIDI where each drum sound had it's own key and i played it.  played the drums on the keyboard live.  fooled some people sometimes.  go rhythmic fingers go!

wide awake(by simon-pure)

i already did this but forgot to save it! doh!   i only created part of this song.  i created it with raul and scott and brent and bryon and ashleigh and stevie(our space in time).  bryon came up with the initial melody which i learned later was partially inspired by my other band, the painting.  the song is about and the lyrics are for a friend i never met, greg, who passed away from a form of cancer called "ewing's sarcoma".  raul and i did double drumming on this song and i was pleased i could sing and play at the same time!  this used to be part 2 of a very long song of the same name.  part 1 was later renamed to something i can't remember.    

Goodbye For Now PegLegGreg (by our space in time)

a song i made up on my old piano in early 1990s around the time of simon-pure but waited until the painting existed to use it.  phil and i were going to use it on a collaborative tape/musical project called "celestial".  seemed appropriate to use it for the painting(which at the time was adam and alli and phil and myself).  with alli and phil and sometimes jeremy. i play this with either keyboard or a guitar version.  i'm happy with the simple lyrics.  i'm happy with the lyrics.  i'm not a very good lyricist but i like these.  there's a meditative version of this too but i've never recorded it.  

Crater(by the painting)

this is an excerpt from a much larger song called "telescope".  3 portions of that song were taken and used on the album/recording/tape/whatever called "full circle".  inspired by "his name is alive".  a sound that appears(salted or peppered) a handful of times throughout "full circle".  and actually now that i remember it, this is jeremy and i doing a cover of that song for fun.  i took a portion of THAT recording and added vocals and then another vocal track doing different harmonizing melody.  subtle.
