Download and use this for whatever you like, practice guitar solos, make it into a song or rap over it or put it on your iPod or whatever you feel. I just made this one afternoon and I'd love for others to get to use it. Please credit me, Sebastian Balyeat, as writer and performer of the drum and bass parts and if you post something you did with this online, please link to this track.

Hip Hop Beat (Drums & Bass)

Consider this a demo until i get a drum set again and magically become a singer & lyricist. 
Drums by Kyle, the GarageBand AI. 
Everything else by me.

Como (Instrumental Demo)

Just a demo. Drum ”playing” by the Garage Band drum AI (but the part is programmed by me.)
Everything else - playing, mixing/production, and composition - is by me.

Lost Horse (Instrumental Demo)

I recorded myself voicing disapproval many times over so now when you think something is dumb just post this sound.

I Disapprove

Two of my buddies, Sean Kain (piano) and Kory Hasbrouck (guitar), joined me (bass guitar) for a jam session. This is the blues tune we came up with.

Blues Jam - Hasbrouck, Balyeat, Kain

Again, two of my buddies, Sean Kain (tenor saxophone) and Kory Hasbrouck (bass guitar), joined me (guitar) for a jam session. This is our ska song. Mostly just screwing around.

LYRICS AT BOTTOM

An ode to my old old Chevy half ton pickup which features a sample of We Will Rock You via the "stomp stomp" being the truck's hood closing and the "clap" being the door slamming shut. The engine sounds you hear are from my actual truck which, for any gearheads, is a 1965 Chevy C10 with a 292 CID Inline 6 w/ straight pipe, pictured in the track's cover.
All parts written (except the drum beat), performed, and recorded by Sebastian Balyeat. I take no credit for writing any part of We Will Rock You and all credit goes where credit is due which includes Queen and Brian May.

LYRICS:

Straight pipe
Straight six
Stick shift
Quick fix
Brake lights
Ain't right
Just brights
At night

Clutch squeaks
Oil leaks
Motor needs
A few tweaks
Old truck
Got stuck
Ten feet
From the pump

Money-sink
This stinks
Wait a minute
Let me think
Not really
That bad
Huge gift
From my dad

'spose it is
Pretty cool
Gets me home
And back to school
Sounds nice
Far from rice
Kinda makes ya
Think twice
Aw hell
Gotta say
God I love
My Chevrolet.

My Chevrolet (ft. 1965 Chevy C10)

My friend Gabrielle wrote lyrics and melody for a song and posted a few bars on Facebook. I came up with some chords and the rest followed naturally. This is the result, we hope you like it.

Ocean & Sea (ft. Gabrielle Andrews)

Maybe some day, I will become a confident lyricist and singer… but I still enjoy this instrumental version enough to post it.

Al was used to assist in the creation of this track by way of the programmed-by-me but generated-by-Logic drum track and the mastering (EQ) was Al- assisted. All other aspects of this work originate from my own human creativity.

Tin Cup (Instrumental Demo)

A bunch of inside jokes I have with my friends that I put into a song. The track features spoken word vocal from myself, Outlaw from his Copenhagen Wintergreen Commercial; my buddies Robert, Richy, and EJ shouting OH MY GOD BABY; and WelvenDaGreat (Deez Nuts guy). 

The song does feature minimal but strong explicit language.

[Explicit] Oh My Wintergreen (Feat. Outlaw, Robert, Richy, EJ, WelvenDaGreat)

Everything you hear was the first take. I've had the ukulele part in my head for months, and I finally decided to put it on wax. Pretty soon, I decided it needed some kind of drums (by "drums" I just mean me tapping on the body of the uke), and then I decided it needed bass guitar, and then I realized there was no real melody, so I threw down a little guitar solo. The whole thing took about an hour, so it's nothing fancy, but I hope you enjoy!

The One-Take Ukulele Song

Portrait of a Loss, Mvt. I: "Mourning of a Death" & Mvt. II: "Celebration of a Life"

Dedicated to Megan Meriwether and all who miss her. May she rest in peace and may her life be celebrated peacefully.

"Perhaps they are not starts, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know that they are happy." -Eskimo Proverb

The cover photo for this track is "Rose Meditative" by Salvador Dali, 1958

Portrait of a Loss, Mvt. I: "Mourning of a Death" & Mvt. II: "Celebration of a Life"

The purpose of this track is to aide the fine performers of an ensemble I have assembled in preparing to premiere this piece live.

Normally I would make this private, but to avoid technical difficulties I've left it public.
