Ambient Score

This is a track that resulted from a late night.

Ambient Score

Song 1

Here's a bit of a jam that I made with my good buddy Billy Lowry. He had just gotten a new fuzz pedal, and I just finished modifying a new synth. Listen to it scream....

Halloboratory

HWELP....made a fantastic hour long spooooky halloween...AMBIANCE...and wanted to share it with THE WOLRD! Put it on loop during your halloween parties or haunted houses this year! Or just do some drugs, close your eyes, and let things happen. ENJOY!

Exploration 07

Your Ovaries Are Perfect

...Just like you. I was working on this short film....and one of the lines got me inspired....shhhh...just let it happen ;-)

Your Ovaries Are Perfect

Big City

This is a song that...i THINK is probably well written. But the arrangement is just ALL WRONG! It needs a complete make-over for sure. But posting it for the archives non-the-less. SO ENJOY IT! It's definitely one of those classic, sprawling songs about life and depression.

Big City

Ashley (Instrumental)

Here's a song I wrote back in 2005. I was listening to lots of Jesus and Mary Chain at the time (obvs). I think the idea was to have singing and lyrics at some point, but that never seemed to happen. I named this one after this cute girl named Ashley.

I Will Come

Sometimes we get real lonely and all emotional and stuff. This is one of THOSE songs ;-)

I Will Come

Jess And Will Got Married!

Last night, my very good friends William Jessica and Jessica Staubach TIED THE KNOT and became one. I naturally had to bust out a funky groove, and I (quickly) made this track in honor of their nuptials. So enjoy...and DANCE!

Looking Back

Here's a great little tune that I started working on a few years ago. Mr. Skaistis is of course responsible for the great lyrics. We never got around to finishing this one though...

Looking Back

Exploration 6

This is really the first Exploration where things really started to come together. One of those beautiful, wandering, electronic explorations through the cosmos...

You'll Never Be Back

I've always liked this one...

Idea 2

An idea that's been floating around for a while...

That Thing You Do.... DISCO!

A few years ago, I made this little disco cover of That Thing You Do in preparation of a concert. Just the first verse and chorus, but YOU'LL GET THE IDEA ;-)

That Thing You Do

Going Back In Time

Oh so dramatic. What a happy guy I am sometimes. Nice tune though :-)

Going Back In Time

Interestellar Overdriver / Interstellar Blues

This is my first post, and one of many, that focuses on various pieces of gear that have adorned my collection over the years. Back in 2005, my good friend Chase Deso made the mistake of having a new guitar pedal shipped to my apartment so I could sign for it while he was out of town. BIG MISTAKE, because I basically never gave it to him (I did eventually pay him for it though). Over the years, the Interstellar Overdriver has become an essential piece to my collection. Specifically, it makes my Roland SH-1000 howl like a banshee (take notice at around 3:40 for this effect.) After some basic experimentation, I ended up making this track, where I ran every instrument through the pedal. Including the drums! Without any further adieu....

Interstellar Blues

Nice Girl

Some years ago, I was a member of a weekly song writing club. And once a month, we would put on a show in a classroom at berklee, and everyone would take turns playing their latest song. I had told my good friend Parama Chattopadhyay about this show the morning of. She was excited, and said she was going to come see me play a song. SO NATURALLY, I took that opportunity to write a song about Parama and our fictional love affair to play at the show that night. Needless to say, it was a BIG hit. A few years later, I recorded a version of that song. ENJOY....

Nice Girl

Exploration 5

Here it is. Few have heard this. For the brave or the stoned. You've been warned....

Gray Jonder

A little blues tune I wrote with Geoffrey Johnson a few years back. Enjoy.

The Things We Ask Ourselves

And exert, or idea from a record I'm making about a future apocalypse.

The Things We Ask Ourselves

Lauren Is Sleeping So Be Quiet

Lauren was sleeping when I made this song, so I had to be quiet. It's definitely very pretty. Should make it into a full song at some point...

Lauren Is Sleeping So Be Quiet

Sometimes

An adorable song from when I was 18. What a cute guy!

Sometimes

I Want You

Some sexual rock n' roll from the glam rock days...

I Want You

Staring out my window late one night at the alley behind my building in Boston. Thinking bout the D....

Stay High!

A cover song I did by the late, great Val Zukowski and Joint Effort.

Stay High

Life Now

This piece, along with Late Night and Beat In My Head, form sort of the original concept for the Back Home record. You'll here that later pieces changed drastically. Maybe, I should have stuck with this stuff. The eventual completion/recording of that record may reflect some of this stuff.

Life Now

Closing Jazz

Two songs today! Because it didn't feel right to post one without the other ;-)

The opening track for the short film "Sight Reading" directed by Jeff Jenkins some years ago. √ it out. Love those chords!
