Just silliness.

Just messing around with a sill Monkees-esque cover of the Flaming Lips song "Everything's Exploding". Filtered for that authentic old cassette shitty sound.

Just a little melody that came out of nowhere, so I fleshed it out over a few hours this weekend.

Just messing around with TMBG's Lie Still Little Bottle. Kinda went off the rails at the end there.

This is an acoustic take of a song I've been playing with lately. It's about having those perfect nights that you wish could go on forever, and what you'd have to give up for that to happen.

Much like many of the things I've been posting lately, this one has lyrics that I can't record because the fucking cockatoos won't shut up. An unforeseen downside of living in the jungle.

Just a remixed field recording from an afternoon in Esparto, CA. Also got some good mic feedback, doors slamming, etc.

I previously posted a quick piano sketch of this melody as "43". It just struck me that it might sound good as a kinda chill hornish Eastern-sounding jazzy thing so here that is.

Thirty seconds of funk by Dan Warren

Here's a sketch of a new one I'm working on. It actually has some words in progress, but it sounds pretty neat as is. Basically I'm experimenting with things teetering up to and away from the edge of chaos, using static and noise to make instruments and instruments to make noise.

East Vancouver rise up

This is something I just dug up that I don't even remember making. It's just me mucking about with Realivox Blue and some backing strings by Embertone along with the built-in Kontakt libraries. Just a sketch, but I do like the sound of it.

The elephant got loose and I ate too much popcorn and now I think I might barf.

Just messing around with a scale I ran across in this equal interval system book. Very simple, but I do like the sound of it.

Just a little thingy from my never-quite-finished album Crush The Infamous Thing.

Here's some music for a song I'm working on this weekend. It's only half-written, but I think it sounds pretty neat.

Again just uploading old stuff for the podcast. This is a song from my album Crush The Infamous Thing. The words are all ripped from an album by motivational speaker/guru Glenn Turner, who seems to be a legitimately insane person.

So here's the deal: I've moved my podcast to Soundcloud so that I don't have to host it myself any more. During that process it got de-listed and re-listed on the iTunes store, which means all of the old content is no longer available to new subscribers. That being the case, I'm going to slowly but surely start uploading a bunch of my older stuff here. So here's one from The Scientist, an album I put out in 2008.

This is a song off of my album The Scientist. It's about a guy who's the only person left awake on a spaceship full of frozen sleepers, starting to get disillusioned with his job. The idea came to me when I was thinking about my SCUBA equipment, and how it was my job to keep it alive just as it was its job to keep me alive.

Just a cacophonous wall of dissonant crap with a nice Latin beat. I don't know why.
