My attempt at a pirate voiced radio ad.  This was for the transition of mavradio.com to Mavroadio.fm.  Pretty fun!

MavRadio.FM 1

This is a live guitar and piano hip-hop track that I always thought was kind of nice.  I don't know, I'm not much of a piano player!

Hip Hop Synth Track

One of my favorite Hip Hop beat I ever made.  This is Animals.  

I was listening to Pink Floyd Animals quite a lot at the time, that's where the name comes from. It was a fun song to write, I still love it 5 years later.

A promo I made while in Radio II @ Unomaha.  It was a promotion for the change-over from mavradio.com to the new radio station mavradio.fm.  It's a great station, listen to it on the tunein ap!

I named my daughter Vera kind of due to this song. Always loved Pink Floyd, and it’s a beautiful name. Just an old recording of this song I found tonight. It’s from February 2, 2023z. Enjoy! Thanks!

Vera - Pink Floyd

A strange track I made one weekend recently.  I don't really know what it means or where it came from but it was fun to make and very different than things I've made before.  I just kept adding to what I had and it came together in it's current form.  There's one electric guitar in it, other than that it's all acoustic and sounds produced from acoustic instruments. It gave me a chance to mess around with production in Reaper more.  It's not totally mixed properly or finished but I probably wont go back to it to finish, so it is what it is.  Enjoy!

I just threw this together in the middle of the night for an experiment.  Do with it, and take from it what you please.  Thanks.

Rebel Vell - Civil War Battle Cry layering Experiment

This is a song I wrote for a website that specializes in tutorial videos.  The gentleman needed something to loop behind his videos.

Runaway was a final project I worked on with a drummer for a class while attending McNally Smith College of Music.  I wrote and arranged the song with the drummer, Bret McClintock.  I engineered, produced and played acoustic & electric guitar, bass, lead guitar, vocals, back-up vocals on this.  It was a fun project and the song turned out nice.  

Runaway

Dance track is just what it sounds like - Dancey!  This was written while working sound at a convention in Chicago.  It was a pretty boring day until I pulled out my laptop and headphones.  I needed more excitement than the meeting I was working.

I've always played this little diddy on guitar.  It's my go-to song when I pick up a guitar.  I don't know when I wrote it because it just kind of evolved on it's own.  I wanted to record it and spent quite a bit of time figuring out what to put with it, as everything I tried didn't quite work.  I played the piano track eventually and was finally happy with the outcome.  It reminds me of Civil War era music so I gave it the name "A Letter Home", like a soldier writing his letter home for if he is killed in battle.  

A Letter Home v2.2

This is a radio ad I put together for a class last semester.  It is an example of my voice over work.  I was writing it as if the radio station was a bluegrass radio station.  The music is Blackberry Blossom by Tony Rice & Norman Blake.  

Bluegrass Radio - Voice Over Work (30 Sec)

This is a track I made while attending McNally Smith College of Music with my friend Reggie Walters.  The rhythm and lead parts were written seperately (me=lead, rhythm=Reggie).  We accidently realized the two parts fit together perfectly and went to the studio to record that same night.

This is a recording of my final project for McNally Smith college of music.  I recorded a fantastic musician Caleb Holthusen and it turned out great.  Thanks Caleb for letting me record your tracks and I hope you loved the way they turned out.

This is one of the first recodings I ever made.  It is with Mike Hix, an Omaha guitarist and fantastic musician.  This was recorded in 1996 on N-Track recording software when we were 15.  It was my first recording experience.  Enjoy!

This is the second part of my radio production class assignments for commercials.  I chose Virgin Galactic as the company I was writing an ad for, not that they need to advertise.  It was a fun project and a lofty topic, I like the way it turned out.  

*FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY

Recorded in Pro Tools LE at home.  Re-mix of Rhianna and Nicki Manaj "Fly" is original to this piece.  I remixed the song to fit the emotional ups and down's of the ad.  The testimonials in the end are;  1&3 - Double Rainbow Guy; 2 - My girlfriend Carly; 4 -   Jeremy Clarkson (from Top Gear).  The Announcer vocal is myself.  

Virgin Galactic Infomercial (90 Sec)

This is the first part of my "commercials" assignment for radio production class.  I chose Virgin Galactic as the company I was doing a commercial for, not that they need to advertise. It was a fun project and a lofty topic, I like the way it turned out.

Recorded in Pro Tools LE at home.  Announcer vocal is me.  Piano is a track I found on youtube called "Dare to Dream Big" by Inspirational Piano Music.  

Virgin Galactic Commercial (30 Sec)

This song was written as a joke but the beat turned out nice.  The lyrics were going somewhere but I got kind of bored with this due to the content, and that it was a joke to begin with.  I do this when I'm just messing around - start and not finish a track.  Anyways, take it for what it's worth.  

Beautiful Tundra v3.6

This is a track I wrote one day and never expected it to be of use anywhere.  About 6 months later I directed a short film and the other crew members wanted it for the closing scene - you know - the scene where the guy finally gets the girl.  I guess it had a use after all.
