These pirates sail the crunchy, amplified seas.

Experimenting with recording using sample libraries (Garritan Instant Orchestra and Finale 2010 Garritan sounds) and with Reaper. Basically just loaded some cool sounding patches and recorded straight in, with a little bit of editing as I tried out different stuff.

ElectronicOldTimeyPirates

Another experiment with MIDI recording using my digital piano. Obviously not at all realistic and probably really annoying to anyone who actually knows how to write for multiple instruments.

"Stars" from Les Misérables.

Uses the karaoke backing track from KaraokeJoeful.com

Hope people enjoy it. I'm not all that great of a singer by any means, but it's fun and I like this song.


Stars - Les Misérables (Cover)

Kind of a mix between the traditional Thurl Ravenscroft version and the newer cover done in the Jim Carrey movie.

You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch (cover)

Recorded on a 125 year old Knabe grand piano, recently tuned after nearly 20 years of neglect.

Over the Rainbow (piano)

My first piano piece, written as a 10th grader. A few years later, I visited my aunt & uncle, who happened to be friends with the classical pianist Martin Berkofsky. He helped set up and make this recording.
