Instrumental #22

Something recorded around 2002. Toy drums, bass and guitar. Recorded on a Tascam 424. Short. I think I like this one. Sort of.

Spew Head

This one was recorded in about 2000. Same instruments as usual. There is no significance to the title other than to go along with a video collage I put together for it.

Instrumental #23

Instrumental I recorded around 2002 in Honeoye Falls, NY. The instruments: Toy drum set, guitar, bass, Crumar synthesizer. I tried recording a vocal track as part of a series of songs I was going to record about working at a convenient store. I cannot locate the vocal mix, but you aren’t really missing anything.

Summer Air

This was recorded on my Tascam 424 in summer 1995 in Oswego, NY. I remember the day being very hot and I think I had just gotten done working at the convenient store. The instrument you hear is a Crumar DS-1. The AM radio waves were from some old boom box that was left behind in the house I lived in. I think it was also piped through an old ripped up stereo speaker (for some reason). Not all that interesting I just like the AM radio snippets and that fact that it reminds me of summer.

Wings of Steel

This one was recorded about 2002 on a Tascam 424 (surprise) in my apartment in Honeoye Falls, NY. It was inspired (somehow) by Bruce Dickenson. I found the lyrics in an old notebook when I was looking for something to sing over the track I had recorded. The instruments are guitar, bass and toy drums. I posted this on my myspace page and a neighbor of mine heard it when we moved to Delmar, NY. He recorded an instrumental version. It’s pretty wacky because it is better than anything I have ever recorded and he probably whipped it together in a few minutes. Thanks John!! Check out his myspace he has some songs up there:
