Here are some mp3's of music I've written (except for the covers).

These are tunes that can only be heard here. Some of them are stuff I've done, some are stuff I'm doing, like the demos I made in my basement that will be recorded in a real studio with real monsters SOON! Hope to see you in person...

Link to a demo of my song Lunch With George on ReverbNation!

 

Works In Progress

Here are a few new basement demos for an upcoming album🤞 I plan on making with The Lucky Otters and a demo for the NYC Ska Orchestra:

Arrogance (Makes the World Go Round)
Spirit Tricks
We're So Free
Air
David Byrne/Talking Heads
Stormy Daniels

Here’s one I arranged and produced for my good friends, Steve and Rhonda, for their latest anniversary. It’s “their song,” so I tried to make this uniquely theirs. The thing that sounds sort of like the usual acoustic guitar is a sample of a lyre and the cool pad that swirls around in the background is a sample from Sonic Couture’s Geosonics — it’s actually a processed recording of icy flowing water! Enjoy…

Waters of March
Antonio Carlos Jobim

This demo’s for Rho and The Nomads…

The NYC Ska Orchestra!!

Knock ‘Em Dead Live at Leif Bar in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

My arrangement for the NYC Ska Orchestra!

Loved being a part of Ana’s super nutty take on this classic!

A newish song that extrapolates this possible reality from characters Roger, Robert, Rachel and Sean...
