Rhythm Method Prototypes P14 Rhythm Method Prototypes P14
Prototype P14 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. I like this song, but it was waaaay to heavy to fit into the rest of my album "In Unexpected Places." One day it will find the right album.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P16 Rhythm Method Prototypes P16
Prototype P16 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Hammond organ over a wild surf tremolo. This song really deserves to be made into a full track one day.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P19 Rhythm Method Prototypes P19
Prototype P19 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Here's another song I really like, and want to make into a full track some day.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P20 Rhythm Method Prototypes P20
Prototype P20 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. The energy of this one is very high, but it sounds more like a long intro than an actual song.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P22 Rhythm Method Prototypes P22
Prototype P22 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. This song eventually became part of "Poison on my Tongue" (track #4 on my Jamendo album "In Unexpected Places").
Rhythm Method Prototypes P24 Rhythm Method Prototypes P24
Prototype P24 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. This song eventually became part of "Alone on the Tracks" (the final track on my Jamendo album "In Unexpected Places").
Rhythm Method Prototypes P25 Rhythm Method Prototypes P25
Prototype P25 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. This song eventually became part of "The Sky in Shadow" (track #7 on my Jamendo album "In Unexpected Places").
Rhythm Method Prototypes P26 Rhythm Method Prototypes P26
Prototype P26 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. It has potential, but after hearing the whole mix, I think it needs some sort of creative lightning to strike to make it into a full song.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P27 Rhythm Method Prototypes P27
Prototype P27 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Such a groovy tune, with its wailing eBow guitar . . . not a full track yet, but one day it should be.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P28 Rhythm Method Prototypes P28
Prototype P28 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Although it didn't make it as a full song, it influenced the melody for "Poison on my Tongue" (track #4 on my Jamendo album "In Unexpected Places").
Rhythm Method Prototypes P31 Rhythm Method Prototypes P31
Prototype P31 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. This song eventually became part of "Set Free the Night" (track #2 on my Jamendo album "In Unexpected Places").
Rhythm Method Prototypes P33 Rhythm Method Prototypes P33
Prototype P33 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Nice, jazzy chords, and I love the bass ... still, this time around, it didn't quite make it into a full track.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P35 Rhythm Method Prototypes P35
Prototype P35 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. This song eventually became part of "Step Through this Window" (track #9 on my Jamendo album "In Unexpected Places").
Rhythm Method Prototypes P36 Rhythm Method Prototypes P36
Prototype P36 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Has a nice feel to it, but never blossomed into a full song.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P37 Rhythm Method Prototypes P37
Prototype P37 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Synth over slap bass. Decent, but it's never been made into a full song -- it needs something to add texture.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P39 Rhythm Method Prototypes P39
Prototype P39 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. With one major change, this song eventually became part of "One Last, Perfect Sunset" (track #12 on my Jamendo album "In Unexpected Places").
Rhythm Method Prototypes P40 Rhythm Method Prototypes P40
Prototype P40 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. I've actually been playing this riff for years, when I tune up an acoustic guitar. Finally I gave it a beat. Still, it hasn't made it as a full track yet.
Rhythm Method Prototypes P42 Rhythm Method Prototypes P42
Prototype P42 from my "Rhythm Method" composition experiment. Not perfect -- it's hard to hit all these notes cleanly on an electric 12-string. With more practice, I think this can be expanded to a full tune.
The Ones Who Fade The Ones Who Fade
First song from FAWM 2009 -- composed, recorded, and posted in a single day. This song has a complex, but beautiful, chord structure.
The JPEG of Dorian Gray The JPEG of Dorian Gray
My second song from FAWM 2009, based on the 'write a song about a picture' challenge. I tried to make this one folksy but ethereal, combining DADGAD 12-string guitar with Hammond organ and synth sounds.
