The Stuff of Legend 2016

Another 20-ish anniversary remake of the first proper track I ever created back in 1995, using my new PowerMac and Opcode Vision, both long since defunct. Still one of my faves. This version gets the complete 21st century reno, as … Continue reading

The Ross Delusion

Sometimes the fun is not looking for background video that is most appropriate for the song, sometimes the fun is looking for background video that is LEAST appropriate for the song. In other words, don’t overthink it. In this case, … Continue reading

In A Gadda Sharona

This one’s a bit of fun. Starts out sounding like a slightly adrenalized PBS documentary theme song, eventually sliding into the title mashup. There’s a Frank Zappa song called “In A Gadda Stravinsky” which mashes up Rite of Spring with … Continue reading

Intruderbiko

New song! This one, as the title suggests, features the recurring rhythmic patterns from the first and last songs (Intruder and Biko) on Peter Gabriel’s third untitled (face-melty) solo album. I used those drum patterns (played, not sampled), four bars … Continue reading
