Jesse Wrenn asked me to record a metal version of Steely Dan's "Reelin' In The Years" about 3 years ago. Sorry

Reelin' in the Years

Wanted to make something that grooved like "turn down for what?" and came up with something much different.  Meant to create a heavy electronic song and then layered it with live instruments. Ebola was very topical at the time I recorded this and I thought we were all gonna die from it. We may still.

Ebola

Early 2000's recording with Blake Moore on bass and Dylan Nagle on drums.  We recorded this on a 4 track, live, in my garage.  I overdubbed the "vocal" part when Dylan came by to pick up a copy to submit for us to play musicfest NW.  I love this song because it is so simple, but we play the shit out of it; you can hear us cracking up at the end.  Really miss playing music with these 2 even though it's been over 10 years!!!

Toyboat

Cloned Rat

Recorded live in my garage, in the early 2000's again. Bozuto was the name of our project.  looking back, we practiced a lot and used a dry erase board to write this song; hence the name.  The first part of the song is an homage to Naked City, and then it becomes very Iron Maiden for a very long time.  Blake Moore is playing bass, and killing it on drums is Mike Wyant.

Spank

The Board

John Rambo is another early 2000's project I played in, but playing drums.  We were a power trio "instru-metal" band.  I recorded this demo on an analog 6 track (weird, I know) with no eq capabilities.  Everything was pre-mixed before hitting "record." Mark Bassett is playing guitar and Jason Coatney on bass.

John Rambo

Expendable Fifty

Crows Hold Grudges is Todd Loring (drums/bass/vocals) and Doug Breen (guitars).  This is a demo version off, of what will hopefully be, our first LP.

Spleen

Apophis

Another CHG thrash song about a douchey bar owner

RumbleFish

This is the recorded version of my arranging final from 1998.  Everyone else was re-arranging jazz tunes.  I thought it would be way more cool to re-arrange a Slayer song.  Aki - Tenor Sax, Toku - Alto Sax, REtODD - Drum Machine, Guitar, Bass, and Piano.

South of Heaven

This is a  tune from my band, Crows Hold Grudges.  I recorded it last month (3/2013). Doug B. wrote these guitar parts and I'm attempting to arrange a song around them.  REtODD: guitars, bass, drums, gibberish/omen vocals.

Creeper

I play guitar, drums, bass, keys and sing/scream.  I have a home studio and take way too long recording solo projects.  For over 15 years, I played music in Portland OR with a multitude of musicians, varying in styles from folk to funk to death metal. 
For the last 10 years I’ve lived on the Oregon Coast and now in Eastern Oregon where I struggle to find the time to play and record.
