Had this one brewin’ for what felt like a millennia. Sometimes you just gotta let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Hope you dig it! I decided to go in a guitar-focused route on this one. Hopefully it doesn’t stick though because my synthesizers are getting jealous.

MIDI + Guitar = Kewl?
Let’s be real, I’m a cheap b*st*rd. I’d love to get my hands on one of those sick Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 pedals. But instead of money, I’ve got plenty of time to spend! That and a stash of Raspberry Pi Picos. Hence, the Pico Guitar Midi Tracker! The idea here is that the MCU will listen… Continue reading MIDI + Guitar = Kewl?
I’ve Been Wounded and I’ve Decided
I don’t make cover songs often, but when I do I try my best to bridge genres. In this case, folk and electronica? It doesn’t matter too much, because I did my best to keep it as simple as possible. A soothing pad to lay the foundation, creeping bass to build emotion, and far-away fuzz… Continue reading I’ve Been Wounded and I’ve Decided
Swing and a miss!
Actually, I hope I didn’t miss with this one! Check out this lovely track with the added loveliness of the photography that Samantha so graciously blessed us with. This one originated from a little ditty (the melody at the beginning) that sprung into my head in the middle of the night. I woke up in… Continue reading Swing and a miss!
Domesticity? I think not!
We’re going hard and heavy now, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me! After some gnarly events happened in my neighborhood to a seemingly normal nuclear family, I couldn’t help myself but to add to the mystery in the only way I could, music! I hesitate to call this one an “electronic” track,… Continue reading Domesticity? I think not!
A little something for my bay-bay
Wrote and recorded this one a few months ago for a small mixtape for my wifey’s b-day. After a little bit of begging, she finally agreed to let me put this one out. IT’S JUST TOO GOOD! A good bit of nostalgic 80s pop in there with a basic LinnDrum beat with plenty of gated… Continue reading A little something for my bay-bay
Showing Some Gumption with “Go Home To Your Own Time”
Woah, this one came quickly! Well… technically it didn’t. I wrote the main patterns on my Mac months ago, but they sat there in cold storage until I exported and transferred them over to my fancy PC earlier this week. And voila! Inspiration struck! I kept this one software-ridden for the most part. I was… Continue reading Showing Some Gumption with “Go Home To Your Own Time”
Infinite Reflections in a Chamber of Memories
Yes, it’s true. Its been a while since I’ve added any new tunes to the collection. Well, fear not! Here is another musical vibe for your listening pleasure. [Hopefully more to come too?] A bit of fooling around on my sequencers brought this song into existence. I couldn’t help myself, so there’s a lot of… Continue reading Infinite Reflections in a Chamber of Memories
Exploring the Octopy
I’ve got a new project to share with you! Need an inexpensive way to sequence audio and midi together to synchronize your drum machines and keyboards on stage? The “Octopy” may be a good fit, and if you’re a raspberry pi enthusiast like me, you might already have the equipment to get started laying around!
