PS119

Tigerside Up is acoustic guitar based electronica in folk song structure.

The first album is PS 119. It was recorded on an 8-track in my parents basement when I was playing bass for Awasunexpected. It's an instrumental peice composed of 22 short songs. Each song corresponds to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Chapter 119 in the book of Psalms has 22 sections, and it's poetic structure inspired me. I wrote PS 119 with a sequential chord structure that links all the songs together. The chords in bold will show what that pattern is.

1. Aleph like a tortise. The songs in this group reflect adaptability, hopefulness, bravery, stability, protection and simplicity. Tunes for Turtles.

The Tigerside Up music is available to my personal friends and family only. Email me at tigersideup@gmail.com if you would like a copy of any of the cd's and I will provide you with a ;link so you can download them or play them in a web browser.

I'm building a webpage for the Tigerside Up and Pesterons projects that will be easier to navigate than the Soundclick and Myspace sites.

I started writing for this project in 2005. I'm almost done recording the fourth album and getting ready to release the third.
