lionel richie is one of my favorite songwriters. some of his phrases are sour and don’t really sit well, but he’s SO sexual when he’s at his best. this is LR with the commodores

here’s my favorite mustachioed horseface again, dressed like a blood diamond

here’s a really simple little guitar ditty. i’m from the ol john frusciante school of keeping mistakes in the song. the point is to let mistakes go, and have them become part of the song’s character. or maybe i’m just lazy

this is a clip of another experiment i did. again, i tried using some tape decks to record all the strings and a barely noticeable percussion layer, then dicked around with the sounds digitally. i managed to get a pretty good accordion sound. it would be fun to revisit this one and add a few glitch drum tracks with meaty bass, and some high guitar wails

i am so obsessed with judo right now.
by the way, there’s not a single judo video on youtube without either embarrassing music or silly captioning; luckily, this video has both. also, how dare this guy remix THE POWER?!?!

a really old tune i made. i had to cut the bass wayy down to make it a ringtone, so it sounds kindaa shitsberg

yea i had a video game music phase too, so whatt.  i tried to make the retriggered snare/bass hits sound like NES bad guys throwing punches and shooting machine guns, and i did a little 8 bit work here and there.  in retrospect, this might not be great for phones.  anyway, gater effects are a really easy way to give your long-note patterns a little life; this tune is an example of that

this tune was originally meant to be an exercise, but i decided to go with it.  i’m playing an acoustic guitar, which can get boring pretty quickly, so i just tried working with unfamiliar chord expressions.  i’m a drummer at heart, so i couldn’t resist some pick-up snare hits to go along with the glitch sequencing i worked out

this is from a track i did a while ago.  i was going for a little dance funk, so i tried to make the guitars sound extra slankyyy
