Send My Love (To The Quibbler)

A Symphonic version of an old Ramona Flowers song ;)

Goodnight, Satellite

This is what I've been up to. I did every bit of the music, Lyrics are by Steven Davis. This is just a teaser :P

Wherever You Are (teaser)

At last I can finally upload a full new song. 
I've been wanting to cover this song for weeks now but things kept getting in the way, waiting for new drums, hard drive crashed.
But here it is, my cover of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears.
I hope that you guys are excited as I am about whats to come in the coming months.
Thanks eternally for supporting me.

Everybody Wants To Rule The World

This was the last time a Ramona Flowers Song was played by Ramona Flowers.
Well, minus Steven Davis, that guy hates me xD

Time Will Tell (Last Live)

This is a recording that myself and my very good friend Kynwyn Sterling did a couple months ago. It was recorded in one day.
Jayce Greenleaf - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, engineering
Kynwyn Sterling - Drums/back up vocals

February

I was going through some old recordings and found this today.
I spent a couple of hours remixing/mastering it because I didn't really know what I was doing back then xD
This was an origami song
Jayce Curtis on Vocals/Guitar
Joshua Peck on Bass
Stephen Kemp on drums
and our friend Jayme Cole playing the viola.
Man it would be dope to have a viola or violin player again. 
This was recorded live in Stephen's unfinished basement, there is a lot wrong with the recording xD

Penumbra (origami ft. Jayme Cole)

Found this old recording that origami did a while back, wanted to practice quickly mixing and mastering. So I did this in about 2 hours.

The Nightingale Effect

This is a quick demo my drummer and I threw together in our house.
We're actively searching for a bass player in the PDX area.

With the Birds

This is a collab track I did with my good friend Carsyn Ainsworth for #oddtimesjamweek3

Sunrise

The way you look at ordinary objects, so careful, as though you respect the lines that construct it - the color that fills. 
You would notice the way each syllable feels as it kisses your lips when you say them. Little words, ordinary objects, building the altar of our lives.
I’ve always been able to see the way light changes things. How it seems to cling to your skin, falling slowly like embers or snowflakes, two opposites moving at the same pace.
I want my love to be an observation, to know your frame like a mountaineer - brave to climb it’s peak and foolish to sip it’s thin air.
I want to be foolish, I want to believe in something I know is foolish. I want to close my eyes and feel you drawing near, little breaths, heaving chests. Electric shuddering little hairs that tangle so briefly, so intricately before our skin embraces, falling slowly into me, trusting me, 
I can be that fortress that holds you.
However, I cannot hold you. You, the elk, that proudly dances in the wood. It is not your visage I worship, but your freedom. I cannot put that freedom on display, I cannot capture that freedom. 
It is worship that comes to mind, and I will gladly, foolishly worship.
What is the name for the small space between us? or the lengths that sprawl when our lives grow distant? Is it a space that you can visit? Do we live there when we remember those little details without names that we have come to know like past lovers? Infinite sensations that complete experiences, experiences that exist because of their sensations. 
The pendulum swings the other way, can I feel it? Can I feel you recalling me?Even when I’m near you, I long for you. Even when we make love, I want to be closer. We are burdened by these bodies that decay so much quicker than our experiences.
I want to live in that space, that blurry canvas where our timelines are painted. I want to be named after movements and sounds that truly create the name of this experiment.

Sometime ago, my friend, Paul Sutherland, and I set out to do a collaboration featuring his atmospheric music looping, and my spoken word poetry.
This was for an Odd Times Jam.
Recently we've finally finished this project.
Spoken word + Bass guitar: Jayce Benton Greenleaf
Piano + Sampling: Paul Sutherland

Engineered by myself.
