Placebo Effect (alternate mix - read description)

I was dialing in some reverb for a new track. Jen came by. I had her plug in a Dano and give me some test strums so I could fine tune a few settings. 20 minutes later, we had this pleasant little ambient drone. Hopefully this tides some over until my life calms down and I get back to posting new tracks.

Excrescences I (Forest Floor)

Began as a side-project in 2010 and evolved into a sometimes hip-hop,  sometimes noise, sometimes noise hop, sometimes ambient and one time black metal thing. This page holds a small number of audio ideas, sketches and things that didn't work out.

All releases were limited and physical. 


While this project is done and gone, you can still catch me doing the following things:

-Playing guitar and electronics for Blunderbusst.
-Playing guitar in Wizard Colors.
-Producing eclectic dance/hip-hop as Sexy Music 4 Sexy People
-I'm still in Big Remote I think? Jury is out on what instrument tho.
-Generally never playing keyboards in a band ever again.

Oh, also, I have a project called Bad Haircuts where I write the songs and sing them and stuff.
