The demo was recorded on 7 March 2020 in my living room with a Zoom H4N Pro handy recorder. I recorded the bass direct, the cajon (using the built-in microphone), and then I added the audio into Studio One (the DAW I was using at the time) and added a pad. I re-recorded it as a solo bass part on 14 April 2022 with my new Ibanez SRMS805 multi-scale 5-string. By this point, I had also upgraded my…

A somber little bass guitar solo piece with some synths and drums added. Kinda grunge, kinda glitch. The initial "demo" version was recorded 28 November 2019. My original note for the track, which appeared on SoundCloud: Someday I'll have a desktop computer dedicated to messing around with music and all of the proper interfaces and decent monitors and whatnot, but right now it's bits and pieces…
It started with just the Travis-style fingerpicking guitar, and then I added some piano chords, and then I thought, "Okay, now I shall add a simple bass line" and it sort of went off the rails at that point. This is a wonderful example of how using a different bass inspires different bass lines. My newest, an Ibanez SRC6MS multiscale crossover bass wants to move . This isn't quite its debut--there…
"I'll be glad when this experimental phase is over." -my wife Originally posted to Archive.org on 17 January 2021. Created entirely on my Novation Circuit using stock patches and Gabe Miller's free sample pack for percussion. If someone wants to make a video game to go along with this soundtrack, feel free. I think it sounds like a "Metroidvania" sort of side-scrolling thing, but I wouldn't…
Originally written in 1931 by Harry Clarkson, Geoffrey Clarkson, and Peter van Steeden. In the public domain as of June 3rd, 1982. Image courtesy of @NiwlCraft@mastodon.art, CC0. I first heard this song about thirty years ago from my grandparents when I was a teen. Somewhere exists an audio tape of us all playing it together on piano, saxophone, and clarinet in Dad's living room. It took me a long…
A short audio drama involving a hiring manager, a nervous applicant, and some light percussion.
"Third pot" originated as a demo track for a hard rock trio I was playing with on Vashon Island, WA, back in 2022. The band wasn't interested in it--or at least, never even acknowledged receiving it--but I liked it and shared it on social media. My friend Mykie Frankenstein asked to build on it for his upcoming EP ; that version was released as Three Pots of Coffee . The drums were originally done…
