So I am going to work my way backwards with newest first. The newest one is a piano track. Jeff dropped by with his piano and left it at my house so I have been playing with it since it is much more powerful than my old one it has been very entertaining. I will probably be playing with that more than my guitar till it goes away.

The second track is from a Jam session before Robbie went up to Chico and Ricky who is extremely talented. This is probably my favorite song I have ever contributed too. I really enjoyed the whole session but this one for me really stuck out. Hope you enjoy it.

Jam Session No 3

Ricky, Robbie, Christian

There have been a few other tracks that I have put together and felt were decent enough to upload as well which first is an experiment with alternate tuning which has become a hobby. I find just switching up the tuning and playing until something coherent comes out is an incredible amount of fun. So here is my experiment with that.

Altrun2

I did a few others but this one was particularly interesting to me.

What I have noticed about my work is that I tend to crowd everything together and the sound either gets overwhelming or muddy. There are definitely times where it works out but I think I should practice the other end of spectrum and attempt a minimalist style. That way I know I can do both and not limit myself to continue playing one style. In other words its time to break the cycle.

little about me.

When I'm bored I try to quickly remedy it - one of the things I have been doing lately is putting on a suit and interviewing my friends over ichat video conference. I wrote a theme song and got a few laughs. Figure I would upload the theme song provide some pictures to share a little more of my life here. Hope you enjoy it.

This is the first song I uploaded where I sing, I have written a few songs and tried to improve my voice but I figure at some point I need a starting place where I can gauge my progress so this might as well be it. I hope it is enjoyable at least. Thank you for listening.

guitar song

Since I had been doing a lot of weak piano stuff lately I figured I would try to record some ideas with my guitar in an attempt to try to move on to the next ones. I figured out how to include a picture so I picked one I thought would be nice to look at while listening.

I was able to collaborate with Robbie and we recorded drums and after my finger healed I finished it up the best I could (April). I also included another track I had worked on recently, which is minimal.

Thanks for listening.

I wanted to share another collaboration with my friend Harper - he posted a version earlier but figured Id post a later version - he did a great job on the lead guitar.

Past two weeks I have been practicing nearly nonstop and the times I did stop I recorded two tracks. I mixed them quite low so headphones are recommended for detail - started a collaboration with a bass/guitar playing friend.

"Industry

"Day One Outside the Vaults"

So this is what I worked on progressively throughout the weekend:

The blue ocean and the black sky

I was going crazy without access to a guitar so I started playing alot of keyboard and this is what I came up with.

I have been working on a very large collage for quite a while now, its actually nearing completetion - but Id figure Id share it since I havent been recording much lately (been working on a few tracks but nothing near completion yet)

Photo 25

Ill post more as it comes closer to completion, its about 55x45 in size and the words are all relative to their location and a story being told throughout the background. (I also fixed the issue with one of the songs in the first post.)

Well now that my digital interface is working again I can get back to work recording when I have any idea what I want to do. Last night I couldnt sleep (like usual) so I decided to give a few things I have been working on a try and it turned out alright, between classes today I took the parts I enjoyed and focused on them. Its just a soundscape nothing special:

Well I decided to use this piece of time space, more time than space, to chronicle my music evolution. It all began a little under a year ago at CSUCI, a child crayola synth and a good friend. We played the hell out of that piano,

i hope this sounds like i think

weather it was good or bad the RA's banging on the door were drowned out by the sound of our laughs, and the piano. After that night I knew I wanted to expand my musical knowledge.

I stole my brothers acoustic guitar and begin teaching myself, after a few months decided to buy my first guitar a Epiphone Sherton II, a multifx pedal, and a digital interface. I quickly decided to begin recording my progress and have done so since. Since then I have aquired a Yahama keyboard, a violin and another electric guitar.
