My cover of "Whitewash" by Buckethead from his "Colma" album (1998).

Whitewash (Buckethead Cover)

This is a demo I worked up for a band that never materialized. Might add vocals and lyrics sometime.

Minister of Many Wings (Moth Culture. Demo)

Our Congregation at Porchlight (Moth Culture. Demo)

This is a demo I worked up for a death metal project called "Human Disassembly Line," based around manufacturing puns. I might return to this one someday. Fun stuff! (Back then, I was just starting to learn about compressors, so don't judge me lol)

Tool And Dying (Human Disassembly Line Demo)

My cover of "Machete" by Buckethead from his 1998 album, "Colma."

Machete (Buckethead Cover)

This was a joy to write and compose! (Christmas gift for EM a.k.a. Edward J. Higglesbottom II)

Stellar Remnant

"Vintage Obscura Radio" posted this song and I really dug the groove. I experimented with the blend of electronic instruments and acoustic ones (especially percussion). I think this cover ended up funky AF! Roberta VanDere or Roberta Vandervort, Album: The Singer. The song is also available on the album Roberta Van Dere & Sally Townes. I can't find much info on Roberta, so I don't know how to properly credit her.

Walk Softly (Roberta VanDere Cover)

A sequel (prequel?) to "Stellar Remnant." I did more MIDI work with this one and learned a lot in the experimentation. This will end up on the EP!

Observance

This started as a study on jazz-chord resolutions for piano. I had a lovely time with bass, drums, and keyboard recording. 

Halo Fade

This is some stuff that's not related to my band "Machine in the Mountain." Original solo stuff, experiments, sketches, covers, and whatnot.
