What Am I Doing? What Am I Doing?
Smooth dance / rap track. Pretty different from my usual style...
Foot Soldier Foot Soldier
Dear inflexible sleepers of the world: please accept my choices and my lifestyle unconditionally. It's the least you can do. 8/4 time, D major key
Completed Task Completed Task
Another example of how I'm gravitating toward live-sounding instruments. Check out the fast-paced guitar in this mix. 8/4, G major
Just Be Just Be
Banishing those meddlesome sinners. While programming this one, I set the time to 5/4 and broke up the measures into triplets (rather than quarter notes). In E augmented, it’s pretty wild. Definitely check it out.
This Unit is Malfunctional This Unit is Malfunctional
When we force someone into a place that is not his niche, all we do is create stress for everyone involved. Oh, how nice it would be for everyone to be aligned in his or her proper niche. (A man can dream, can’t he?) 8/4 A# minor.
Reticent Reticent
While you listen to this 5/4 B major instrumental, ponder its permutative structure in conjunction with its name.
Given Next Given Next
You know what‘s bad for your health? Staying in one situation for too long. “Given Next” means “take what you are given, use it, and be open to whatever may come next”. 6/2. F# major.
Busy Boss Busy Boss
What I'd love to hear my boss(es) say. But to do so wouldn't be sophisticated, and lord knows we can't have that. Lies before honesty, I say.
Scout Scout
Repressed feelings erupt unexpectedly in the face of temptation. “Temptation is so tempting because we fear that the opportunity will never come again.” 4/4 E major.
Turn for the Better Turn for the Better
A feel-good instrumental that you’ll want to listen to over and over in preparation for hearing it over and over and over. 4/4. F minor.
The Moons of Jupiter The Moons of Jupiter
Two words: regal and simple. And instrumental. (Okay, that's three.) The big selling point for me is the trumpet.
Spectacular Spectacular
An intricate & lively instrumental to quell those volatile frustrations that demand attention & understanding from an indifferent and unresponsive void. There there. You can be it without making us see it. 6/4 in G major.
Don't Fight It Don't Fight It
The lyrics, aimed at evoking a sense cosmic of understanding, have a lot of consciousness and metaphysical reasoning in them. 7/4 timing to keep things interesting. G# major.
The Lesser Mind The Lesser Mind
The mind consists of many layers. This song proceeds by chastising the logical tier of fixations for believing itself supreme. The fool does not recognize this concept as relevant. 6/4 beats, C# major.
The Hazing The Hazing
Beneath that calm exterior lurks an unstable beast. Beware. Anticipate that inevitable moment when he reveals his true self. 8/4 A# major.
Conditional Love Conditional Love
Pure sarcasm. You gotta hear these lyrics. The more you think about them, the funnier they get. It’s our absurd tendency to place restrictions on what we will share. D# major in 5/4 time.
A Real Woman A Real Woman
A controversial portrait of the man who’s been warped by solitude and the internet’s limitless reservoir of pornography. Sexually explicit lyrics. 4/4 G# major.
Hear My Words Hear My Words
Have you ever felt like you know exactly what someone is going through because you’ve gone through it too? This song is in the business of evoking transcendence coupled with a sense of camaraderie. 3/4 variations in F# augmented.
See the Flower See the Flower
What defines beauty? How do you distinguish the glorious from the wretched? What atrocities do we commit in our ignorance? Find out while you consider the lyrics to See the Flower. 4/4 beat, B major key.
Progeny Progeny
Evidently, the old adage “the children are our future” is the kind of insight that’s easy to agree with in casual conversation, but doesn’t seem to find much in the way of manifestation in common practice. 6/4, A major.
