A bass solo.
Because I can.
This is a tune where I poked that string quartet I keep in the corner to get them to play something eerie.
The title is derived from the fact that it is in the six tone symmetrical scale, and since it is the devil’s number, I needed something evil. The quote I used was pulled from that well known source of evil, the Bible. Ephesians 5:11 to be specific:
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
The song is not exactly what you’d expect from me, but how anyone can ever know me and not expect the unexpected is shocking.
At the end of the day, it is nice to hear how evil a double bass, cello, viola and violin can sound without any distortion, overdrive or other modern audio magic (except the stuff that allows my macbook pro to sound like a string quartet in the first place).

A little blues jam recorded with the help of Magic Garageband.
The title refers to the magic of garageband, and also to a completely unrelated current news controversy.
IMHO words are not racist, it is from the intent of the author/speaker that racism is defined. Obviously here I’m referring to the origins of the blues in the deep south…. especially Nawlins.

Another in the long line of songs that proves I’m insane.
Watch out for the jazz part, and the twist ending.
Enjoy it if you can.

An instrumental reflecting the dark and dreary mood that seems to swirl around in October.
For whatever reason, this month is historically filled with all kinds of darkness from revolutions to stock market crashes. Not to mention various other personal calamities.
This song is an attempt to capture the melancholy.

A very interesting instrumental I crafted over about 3 hours. The main beat is driven by a number of samples that came with garageband, which makes it totally not my normal thing, except that it kind of is.
Being written over such a short time gives it an almost stream of conciousness feel, but with a dose of accelerated evolution. I had an idea, recorded it, listened to it and either moved on or recorded something slightly different and cycled again. The various components accumulated very quickly until I had the tune you can hear below.
Finally…. the derivation of the title should be obvious.
“Limerence refers to an involuntary cognitive and emotional state of intense romantic desire for another person” – Wikipedia
All recorded on my new Dean V Coustic.
This is what happens when I go to an extreme metal gig.
It is an instrumental inspired by seeing Cradle of Filth live. Although it sounds completely unlike them. The interesting thing is that the whole song was built around dance beats. I’d pick a beat, and then write the music to go over it. It has a completely danceable groove for awhile, then a tremolo picked black metal riff for the bridge that leads into the surf guitar solo which takes us back to the groove….
The title is obviously taking the piss out of everything and everyone who is trve.
