Keyboard things
…of greatly varying quality. No lessons, bad technique, some MIDI cheating.
Brittle Stars (1998–2001)
Facebook 🔥 Spotify 🔥 Old web site
I played guitar and some keys and did some of the later recordings; the ones where the drums sound awful. “Souvenir” is a cover.
Andrew Chadwick captured video of our best live shows for the 2008 reunion:
The French Horns (2004–2005)
Old web site 🔥 some stuff on Soundcloud 🔥 I wrote the songs, sung poorly, especially live, and played guitar and some bass. I recorded these, and it went OK for the demo, but later perfectionism drove the process and the band into the ground.
- “Brighter Now”
- “Think of Rain” (Margo Guryan cover)
- “Engineer”
- “Plastic Sitars” (needs 2nd verse, real singer)
- “Surest Things (with Slavagoh)” (there’s a story behind this recording)
- Untitled demo instrumental
- “Friend (demo)” short instrumental
Other mostly complete songs/instrumentals
Rough demos
Songs I edited/remixed
When I’m not happy with someone else’s recording, I “fix” it.
- “Uncontrollable Miami Boasting” (Megamix created for my wedding)
- Billie Davis “Nobody’s Home to Go Home To” (bigger remaster project I describe here)
- The Swirlies “Give Us Moon Rocks!” (cut the different-key sections)
- Of Montreal “Keep Sending Me Black Fireworks” (some sections cut/shortened)
- The Innocence Mission “Look For Me As You Go By” (I think shortened)
- Moose “This River Never Will Run Dry” (minor clean up)
