I wrote this on a plane to Balaska when I was bear-y tired!

I made this with Little Sound DJ on a Nintendo DS using Lamboy as an emulator. It is not a real Game Boy but it's a good rig, I think.

Balaska!

Are your ears small and tired? Have I got some sounds for you!

Lawn Mowing Sounds for Small and Tired Ears

I am not even kidding. This one is a rotary mower in my very own back yard. I recorded this on August 17, 2013.

The Kids are Crazy About these Lawn Mowing Sounds

I wonder why people who seem to see dogs as a source of pure and constant consternation chose to own dogs. The world is a crazy place. This was recorded on October 9, 2013.

An (Overly) Dramatic Scene Involving a Small and Harmless Dog

I have recorded the ocean on several occasions but on none of them did the recording sound so much like the ocean as this recording of Lake Michigan. If this doesn't surprise you, probably something more surprising will. I recorded this at Illinois Beach State Park on October 12, 2013.

Ocean Sounds on the Lake

Fall In Line

Right

I named this song after what it is made out of.

Waves of Sine

This is the same thing I did before. The title is no longer appropriate, I guess.

Waves of Sine (Player Piano Remix)

I recorded this at approximately 1:00 PM on January 10, 2014 on Buddha Beach at Red Rocks Crossing in Arizona. 

Buddha Beach

Sometimes it is good to chill and sometimes it is good to boost. It is always good to do both.

A Chill Song To Boost To

Life is good. I recorded this in Arizona on January 10, 2014.

The Precise Sound of Me Getting into a Jacuzzi and Drinking Miller High Life at Eight AM

I recorded this on December 12, 2013. I am not sure why I gave it this title at the time as you can barely hear any birds on it if at all but I like the sound of it so I'm keeping it. If you don't like it, please let me know.

Urban Birds and OtherThings

Sometimes, I just cannot be bothered to keep trying to record some particular thing. This is one of those moments. Recorded on July 27, 2013.

You Know What?

This a piece I composed in 2014. This version is specially edited to for submission to the Chicago Artists Resource to be used as bumper music in videos.

Waves of Sine - Chicago Artist Resource Edit

This is the first song for a new project I am working on. Aside from the organ and piano, which are synthesized, it is mostly built from samples I recorded myself.

The streets are paved with half-dead men, their half-dead songs and magicks
I am saved through evil means and through evil means I've prospered
The weak, they are just beasts to me but beasts have much to offer
Yet I cannot stand the scent of them, their caustic stench of squalor
I am

To squeeze a man, to take his breath, the evil means by which I live
A half-dead man will sing a song that he was never meant to give
Evil men live lives of lies but surely this I promise:
That since the very dawn of man there's never been a better business
I take the songs of half-dead men and give them half-dead magicks
I tell them lies and half-dead minds rely on me forever
My business builds upon itself and songs, they stack like chords
I promise you these half-dead men sing songs they can't afford
I am

Every magick is a lie and half-dead songs are caustic
Every man becomes a beast at the moment that he's lost it
I pave every street and every song and every half-dead man
I am saved through evil means and through evil means I am
I am

I Am

I wrote this song for my dog, Bruno. He weighs sixty pounds or so.

Sixty Pounds of Violence and Hatred

Three people you need to stay away from...

The More You Know

Sometimes it is good to just relax and get down on a meat-flavored piece of plastic. This was recorded March 26, 2014.

A Chewing Contest Between Friends

I recorded this Tuesday, August 5, 204 at around nine or ten PM. It is the sound of fire plus the sound of bugs so I guess it is both good and bad in a way.

Beer by the Campfire

Looked at my baddest bishop, said "Damn, what's next?"

The Ascension of Pope Francis (Part I)

I made this on a Tascam 414mkII in my bedroom in 2001. All the sounds come from some horrible keyboard I don't even wanna think about.

Radiation/Vast Clouds

If you don't like my music, it's because there's something wrong w/ you. And that thing that is wrong w/ you is probably a malignant melanoma. See a doctor.
