Jim-n-Lisa
Filter
16 Grams 16 Grams
This is a sort of jazz-reggae blend. This song features a 1921 C melody sax. It is a modern reflection of the classic 'Sixteen Tons.'
Your Scientist's Brain Your Scientist's Brain
Natural and electronic ambient sounds with acoustic guitar. Mellow and meditative.
Jihad Jihad
A plea for reason in an unreasonable age, when leaders don't believe in the science that powers their weapons.
Just Kidding Just Kidding

Lovely Walkers Lovely Walkers
Song as image. We try to paint a picture here, as opposed to telling a story.
Cowbot Blues Cowbot Blues
The lone mechanoid watches over the herd, sitting by a plasma recharging station that looks oddly like a campfire. It passes the time playing its guitar accompanied by its on-board synth.
Hangin' On Hangin' On
A song about friendship in troubled times and of course, hangin' on. This one is all Jim for now.
Before Dreaming Before Dreaming
Acoustic guitars, synths, and Lisa on this tune. A friend (Cam) called this a 'Gothic Lullaby.' That's better than any description I could come up with.
Is It Over? / Leave Me Alone Is It Over? / Leave Me Alone
A conjoined song of multiple guitars, oddly played, and a sweet vocal performance from Lisa. I'm thinking Pink Floyd meets Enya.
DicketyDa DicketyDa
This is a melodic rock/world fusion amalgam with acoustic and electronic instruments.
Absent Friends Absent Friends
Some small comfort for a humanist in sad times. This tune has been described as "odd as anything" and "Simon & Garfunkel meets The Doors"
Adric's Theme Adric's Theme
This is an orchestral piece. It is conceptually about the only Dr. Who companion to die. Adric gave his life trying to protect a planet, not his own.
Slow Saxy Blues Slow Saxy Blues
A blues/jazz instrumental featuring the 'Naked Lady' tenor sax.
Blue Jam on Texas Toast Blue Jam on Texas Toast
Southern blues funk. Your basic 4 piece rock & roll.
Grawky Funkin' Sax Grawky Funkin' Sax
A jazz/funk tune featuring the 'Naked Lady' tenor sax
Wishing, ... On This Day Wishing, ... On This Day
Somewhere between a chant and a prayer of sorrow and hope. Our first vocal duet.
Rasta Man Rasta Man
This song is dedicated to a friend and champion of indie artists: Steve Gilmore. A very laid back reggae tune celebrating the culture.
Cerulean Blues Cerulean Blues
Lots of influences leaking through on this tune. Jethro Tull, ZZ Top, and Steely Dan all occurred to me as I worked on this one. It's pretty much a rock tune.
Wanderlust Wanderlust
A 'rock opera' dedicated to Sweden, Netherlands and their people. I (jim) am a Dutch/Swedish/Cherokee mutt. Lisa is also descended from that part of the world.
