The Finger For Christmas
I thought I might get you an iPad
Or a year's membership at the gym
But I put back my wallet
Soon as I recalled that
You’re an asshole that voted for him
So I’m afraid you’re not getting a sweater
Or…

Oklahoma - Dining Room Demo
This is a song that I actually wrote decades ago. Only a couple of people have ever heard it, and there's a reason for that; I feel like it's too easy for this one to be misunderstood, and I didn't …

Traffic and Weather Report from Australian Magpie
I'm working on a bunch of new music that I'm not ready to post yet, so for now here's a lovely soundscape from this morning, recorded at my little rental house on Lake Hume. It was a very rainy morn…

I Know The Internet By Heart
Just messing around with some random short vocal snippets from a Youtube tutorial on Japanese grammar by Cure Dolly. Bass is Venus Theory's excellent foghorn sample library for Spitfire Labs.

I Know You Well Enough - Demo
Just a quick and dirty living room demo I recorded on my iPad of something I'm working on.
Give me your credit cards
I wanna buy you a gift
Down at the grocery store
I'll need a lift
It's too far …

River Runner Full Score
This is a bunch of instrumental music I made for a documentary called River Runner many years ago, just sort of stuffed together in one track.

Dirge Decay
This is a track I did for the Frog Fractions 2 ARG, it was meant to be an artifact from the remains of the civilization of Bug Mars. It's a song of mourning in the last days of a dying civilization.…

Touching Grass
Sometimes I like to just sit down and build a generative music machine that makes pretty noises. This was one of those days, and this is the result.

Things Will Be Better Next Year
This is the instrumental track for a song I have still never recorded. I wrote the song near the end of 2020. It's about reassuring yourself that the currently horrible world events are temporary. …

Beef
This is just a rough draft of a ridiculous thing I built from a Librivox audiobook of an old book called "The Book of the Damned", by Charles Hoy Fort. The chapters these samples were taken from wer…

Accidental Gorillaz
Welp I set out to just make a nice little western thing and it ended up sounding way too much like Gorillaz. I swear it wasn't on purpose. Back to the drawing board.

Wakarimasen
I'm tired of not understanding Japanese, so I made a machine to do it for me. It's just a sampler fed with random syllables from my Pimsleur Japanese lessons, with the two voices occasionally asking…

It Always Happens
This is a very old track, basically a found poem taken from a vocabulary building record from the 80s. It (in my mind) tells the story of a relationship that starts off strong but gets weird and cre…

Sargasso
I was messing around in bitwig with a rhythmic pattern I learned from karnatic music and I think I accidentally made prog.

Spaghetti Code
Last week I was playing around with sampling some sounds from an old data cassette as well as an XDR toneburst. I ended up using those sampler instruments to flesh out a bit of music I'd already bee…

Work In Progress - Nothing Never Lasts Forever
This track is me sort of exploring the idea that quantum foam and the big bang imply that the universe absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of true nothingness. There can be nothing, but not fo…
