The Step Down - Instrumental
This is just me playing with some sounds in Bitwig. The progression is fun because when it sounds like it's looping back to the beginning it's actually a step lower than it started out (hence the na…

Everyone's Got a Vocoder Except For Me - Living Room Phone Recording
This is a completely ridiculous little thing that I wrote many, many, MANY years ago that just suddenly came back to my mind the other day. For some reason the thing that brought it back to me was t…

Formula Seventeen
This is just a little thing where I was playing with odd time signatures and trying to follow along on my Wavedrum.

Untitled Piano Fragment
This is just a snippet of music I came up with years ago, completely forgot, and then stumbled across this morning while looking for something else. I don't know that I'll ever do anything more with…

Robot Baptism
You are walking through the woods when you stumble across a robot church group baptizing one of their own children in a stream. Two robot children are singing a song to mark the event.
Includes a f…

Demo - Days Must Have Come And Gone (instrumental)
Okay it's been way too damn long since I've uploaded anything so here's this. It's just an instrumental demo for a new take on an old song of mine.

Leviathan Junior
Yet another ambient-ish track, but this one morphs into more of an actual song as it goes on.

Acoustichoral
Another drone track, this one just built with an acoustic guitar and a buttload of effects.

Whale Dropper
This is just me learning how to use the automation in Arturia Pigments, and throwing out some massive brraaaaaams in the process. This whole track is one chord, and the rest of it is just delays, re…

Living room demo - Leave the Living to the Living
Okay this is a demo of a short (or half finished, depending) track that sort of straddles the line between depressing metaphor and "oh maybe there are actual zombies in this song", which is a pretty …

Wannabe
This is an old demo for a song from about 2010 that I just never got around to polishing up.
Lyrics
I only wanna be on your good side
But I give too much away
Trying to make things right in all t…

Rough living room demo: You'll Know
This is just a super-rough demo recorded on my phone, for a song currently (but not necessarily permanently) called "You'll Know". Mostly I recorded this so I wouldn't forget the lyrics I've come up…

This Can't Be Real
I know your face
From some other place
But this can’t be real, just can’t be real
Too clean, too bright
To be quite right
This can’t be real, this can’t be real
I know, oh I know
But then I see you …

Sail Or Anchor
I can't describe
What I see in this light
With my eyes wide open
Almost divine
So real and so right
So loud, unspoken
Falls on me
Soft
Like a frosty morning
And blurs the outline
It's too close to be…

Survival Machines Reprise
And so we hold tight
to a lone mote of dust in the infinite night
straining ourselves just to cling to the surface
our singular purpose to stay side by side
and what does it mean
that they could have…

Survival Machines
It’s quiet out here
Look for the sun, I can’t find it out here
And all that dumb shit that they told us about our manifest destiny
Is gone and forgotten now
And sure, our goals are pure
What good doe…

Wake My Love
Brittle fragment of a memory
Still and silent over centuries
Wake, my love, and greet me
Wake, my love, and never
never go again
Do not forsake me
Love, do not forsake me
Awaken to me
Take a breath n…

Oh You Temporary Thing
Oh you temporary thing
departing since the moment you arrived
you know you can't survive this on your own
you solitary thing
now reaching out in hopes that you will find
that another of your kind is …

Who Are You Now
Who are you now, when all your fear is stripped away?
Who are you now?
What do you remember from the day?
What did you surrender to get away?
Hey, are you all right? Are you going to be all right?
Yo…

You Did Your Best
Will you lose it all because you're afraid to choose?
Will you lose it all because you're afraid to choose?
When the time has come to pick a side,
will you simply refuse and say there's nothing you c…
