My cover of an Oingo Boingo song. From the album "Nothing to Fear." I am singing and playing saxophone and guitar. I arranged for software drums, marimba, and several different synthesizers.

Running On A Treadmill

This is a hymn that I play at my church. This is all me on guitar. This is my most favorite church hymn; beautiful melody, beautiful chord sequence, beautifully arranged, beautifully beautiful beauty.

Shepherd Me, O God

This is a song that I play at my church. This is all me on guitar and saxophone.

Beyond The Moon And Stars

My arrangement of Silent Night. I am playing the guitar, cajon drum, and wine glasses. The cajon drum is given a transistor radio effect, which is supposed to make it sound like… umm… Santa's footsteps on the rooftop. The wine glasses are supposed to be… uhhh… Santa's bells. I also did an arrangement for mallets, including a music box. And, c'mon, a music box is soooo Christmas! Enjoy your holidays.

Silent Night

This is the fight song for University of Washington. It's my arrangement for guitar quartet. I'm not going there anymore, but I wanted to make a nice tribute for the Husky Marching Band. Voila! (For the last time no, I'm not transferring to WSU. I don't backstab like dat.)

Bow Down To Washington

This is a better arrangement of a song I wrote called "Steps." I wanted to rearrange/record this song for several reasons: more repetition of melodic lines, striving for brighter, more focused vocals, adding in saxophone lines, a tighter groove, tweaking a few lyrics, the list goes on. But there are also three distinct mood changes in this arrangement as to add more direction to the lyrical ideas. I am playing the cajon drum, other accessory percussion, bass, guitar, saxophone, piano, and vocals in this. The only software instrument is some string fills. This is a song about being in the city and getting crazy ideas. 

Steps (Rearranged)

I really highly suggest listening to this with headphones.

This is an original. It is musically and lyrically based off a strange dream I had. I have formulated this dream into a more-or-less coherent storyline in the song. The lyrics are suppose to be depicting a dystopian-fantasy world where war has become so commonplace that it is fought on modern-day civilian land. There is an office building that one of the fights is going on outside of. It appears to be an average office building on the outside, but inside of it there is supposedly a gateway that will lead to heaven. The storyline is narrated by one of the soldiers, as he imagines himself making it into the building, getting through to heaven, and finding his lover there. 

Hooookay. I am playing six guitars and sampled clattering noises in this. There are arrangements for stringed instruments and a snare drum. I am also singing.

Pipe Dream

This is my cover of St. Vincent's Rattlesnake from her latest album. This is pretty much just like the original but with different instruments and noise makers on everything.

Rattlesnake

This is an original. It is a song about something that happened to me, but the lyrics are exaggerated and nonsensical. The mixing on this is much rougher and raw than other songs I've done. Acoustic & electric guitar, alto saxophone solo, and me singing.

Ricochet

This is an original, based off a guitar pattern I've had written for awhile, then I just improvised with the saxophone. Much reverb and echo & good mixing, so put on your headphones and relax.

Improvised

This is an old original of mine, and one of my personal favorites. It needed a re-recording, & more quirkiness. Prominent instrument: vibraphone. This is about that origami birdy, and loosely based off the legend that folding 1000 paper cranes gets you one wish.

The Paper Crane (Remastered)

Hey. I compose/arrange all my own stuff. Hope you like it!
