I heard the outro of Franz Ferdinand's Lucid Dreams
and immediately needed to find a way to make sounds like that
It's also just fun to make instrumental music. Like Minecraft creative mode: more fun, but less rewarding
Hypno-Toad 2010
The first of a handful of programmed instrumental songs I made in Reason in college.
Bot Mitzvah 2010
I may have been watching a lot of Futurama at the time.
The Frenzy 2010
I finally learned to add a little bass to the mix.
Slow Drive 2010
Continental Shelf 2011
I'll never be able to recreate the particular sound of that string breaking at the end of the guitar solo,
and for that I'll always love this one.
Emerging 2017
Kicking off a three-part series of instrumental,
loop-based songs recorded off of a Fender Deluxe Reverb and Voc AC15 in stereo.
Contemporaneous with The Pennsylvania Tapes.
Breathing 2017
Resting 2017
Order 2021
Playing around with programmed instruments in Logic Pro this time,
just like I did in college with Reason.
Seven 2024
A jazzier, instrumental take on a song I wrote the summer between high school and college.
The lyrics need work, but I'd like to revive it. Until then, this will do.
I-78 2024
I hear brass parts at the end.
Try Me 2024
Buzzsaws 2024
Parasol (sloppy guitar improv odyssey) 2024
There's a lot of down time, but the parts that worked seemed worth keeping, for fun if nothing else.
