A brief demo of something I should probably be getting around to finishing soon, cause it's too short right now. Consists of acoustic piano and double-tracked drums (one clean and one flanged).

A mixture of indie, rock, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, post rock, and instrumental.
Hey, i'm Jake, and these are some songs and demos I've made (usually by myself) over the past couple of years. I've been in quite a few bands throughout those years, and when I'm not playing, writing, or jamming with my friends and other musicians, i'm usually fiddling around with music on my own and recording random song ideas floating around in my head. I like to play and write stuff that falls into the categories of indie rock, alt-rock, shoegaze, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, jazz, and electronic (although I try to escape the confinements of genres as much as possible). I mainly play piano, keyboards, drums/percussion, and guitar, but I dabble in others like banjo, mandolin, harmonica, bass, and kazoo. I'm obsessed with weird sounds, I guess you could say, and I'm constantly trying to find new ways to create sound via arrangements, effects, synths, happy accidents, etc. Although pretty much all of my posted songs are solo stuff, I enjoy making music much more in collaborative efforts, and am always on the lookout for any possible jam session. Enjoy!

Story behind the song
I was inspired to write this after learning a new way of playing jazz chords on piano and listening to Ben Folds "Hospital Song", but when i'm finished with it I expect it to end up sounding more Wilco-ish than anything. And the flanger drums were inspired by the track "The Wizard Turns On… The Giant Silver Flashlight And Puts On His Werewolf Moccasins" by the Flaming Lips.
