This one, here, used to be 45 minutes.  Most of it, just the drums...echoes suggesting melodies.  Great for washing dishes.  Not so good for everyone else.  Condensed, here, for you!

Bubble In The Rhine, Pt.1

I love to give myself assignments. This was for one minute of "suspenseful music." I went over.

One Minute (sic) Of Suspense

This one was a lovely challenge in mixing all the counterpoint. Mr. Bret Figura on snare drum.

Don't Be Upset, We're Having A Good Time

A story of a moment from growing up in the middle of nowhere. R.L. Butterfield on ring modulated bass & ambient synth. Joe Kuta on all other sounds, as well as mixing and production.

Gavin Mashedpotatoes

My take on a 1963 jingle from CFSL for Johnstone Dairies, which was either in Moose Jaw or Weybern, SK or somewhere in between. Maybe there was one, or maybe there were many, I've got no clue.

Johnstone Dairies Jingle

You see your neighbor come home drunk. You write a song about it. Your roomate's Guild S200 sounds really great through a Silvertone 1480 turned all the way up. You've been listening to Erkin Koray a lot, so why not through some bombards on there so it sounds like the B side of Şaşkın? That's rock 'n roll. From 2005.

Echo In The Discoteque No. 4

2006. Composed with pieces of sun sounds and shortwave.

Dissapointment 1

College "pop song" project. Close to a zillion tracks. Special guest appearance by Gabriel Will playing two notes on an electric guitar at the end. 2007. A bunch of farm animals become disgruntled and take their destiny into their own hooves and paws and what have you.

(Thinking About) The Autonomous Livestock Republic

A little guitar instrumental. Wistful, indeed.

A Picture On The Wall

tape, mic, drum machine, echo...late nights in the brain.
