They Don't Know

These are songs I made using Logic on my Macbook over the years(I think the earliest song is from 2012, latest song was finished just after new year). Most are made by me alone, programming and playing almost everything in Logic with a DAW (Midi keyboard). On some songs I played guitar, had Derek play Bass, and Jack play Keys. I have noted which songs Derek and Jack appear on. I have also written notes in some song description, to give some of the songs context.

Many of these are not complete songs, they are demos or ideas I compiled together into a baby form of a real song. Some are full band ideas that were demo'd, and others are complete songs. It's a random collection of stuff I've made, made available so you can listen any time. 

I'm not a professional mixer or mastering expert, I prefer to make music with real instruments (drums, guitar, etc) and have engineers who are smarter than myself (like Jake Antelis) work the boards and make me sound better. I didn't have any help here on mixing/mastering, this is my best attempt on that front. 

Another thing to note, is that I much prefer to make songs with other people, and creating by myself in a room on a computer is very removed from how I made what I believe is my best music (The Tangibles and Thompson+Boombox), but I do still enjoy making these songs, and believe it to be good music to listen to. It's just different, and different is good.

Hopefully you can dig some of this. I try to get better at different things with each song (some songs I worked on song structure, other's I worked on guitar harmonies, others I worked on getting great drum sounds and grooves). Another thing I tried to do was make sounds in different genres, and intentionally not sounds like 1 artist in 1 genre throughout this collection of music. This ideally means that if you don't like a few songs, there should be a few that you do, because in my mind there's a few different styles of song to be enjoyed. 

Hopefully one day I will be able to combine all my experience to produce a proper body of work via my computer alone, but in the meantime, here is my batch of Computer Music. 


Thanks for listening!

What Is This Crazy Rock And Roll Music Anyway?

Football

Originally a Tangibles song. Jack plays Keys, Derek plays Bass. 
We played this live, and really loved the blues bridge we would break into. This was one of the last Tangibles songs written as a band. This is the demo I made.
