New Song – Electronicas

I recently downloaded Booka Shade’s newest Single (Tickle/Karma Car) from eMusic – and that heavily influenced this new track.  I actually threw this track together in a couple of hours in just two short sittings, but it came together beautifully.  It’s always a wonderful feeling when you sit down to just mess around with some …

New Photo and a new-old song

First, a self portrait I did that I really like: Also, the following is actually a song I put together a few months ago, but forgot to post among the others. It’s a fun and happy reggae rock tune – very hippy sounding, but I like it anyway. Benz Lex Beemers

bucolopolis

In an effort to more correctly define the landscapes and physical aspects of Midwestern American cities, I propose a new and enhanced Lexicon of the Bucolopolis.

New Song – The City

So I’ve finally got a new song to put up here! I’ve been working on several very different tracks for a while now, but I decided to sit down and master this one today, making it one of my rare ‘finished’ pieces. Emily doesn’t like it – she says it’s terribly depressing, which I suppose …
