Here’s today’s tune. It’s another short piano piece. I’ll be switching gears for tomorrow’s tune, but enjoy this and pass it on!

MonthOfMusic Day 9 Published August 10, 2014
Day nine was spent at a wedding and running some other errands, and in the middle of all of that I found some time to upload a song. I recorded this early in the morrning. A nice simple piano tune.
MonthOfMusic Day 8 Published August 8, 2014
I had a really hard time coming up with anything I could be proud of today. Lots of other things on my mind. But then I came up with a little melody and ran with it. This is one of the reasons I’m doing this challenge; sometimes we have to be creative even when our minds our fighting us. We need to overcome and do our best. We’re back to electronic today.
MonthOfMusic Day 7 Published August 7, 2014
For day 7, I did another guitar-rock tune. I took an old riff I wrote in college and laid down a full 4 minute demo of the song. It feels really good to get this one out of my head. Enjoy. And spread the word please!
MonthOfMusic Day 6 Published August 6, 2014
Day six is some 90’s-influenced “modern rock.” Think Gin Blossoms or stuff like that.
MonthOfMusic Day 5 Published August 5, 2014
Here’s song #5. A little more aggressive techno than I usually do. Inspired by some 90s techno.
MonthOfMusic Day 4 Published August 4, 2014
It’s Monday, day 4 of my Month Of Music. if you missed any of the weekend’s songs, give those a listen too. Day 3 Day 2 For Day 4, I’m releasing a track that will end up making the cut for Stutter. I haven’t been able to make much time to finish that project and I’m hoping that some of the tracks that I do for this month will be a good “fit” for that project too.
MonthOfMusic Day 3 Published August 3, 2014
For day three I busted out my electric guitar and figured out how to get the clean sound into the computer for recording. I used the USB cable that came with the Rocksmith game and it turned out to work very well. I brought it in clean and used lots of effects processing to get the sound I wanted, and I think this worked pretty well. On the downside, I’m really rusty at playing solos, and even rustier with a slide, so it took several takes to get the guitar solos down.
