Original Instrumentals & Songs







The following Instrumentals and songs are really first draft, scratch recordings I am using to rework. I am also using them to consider which I want to put into my sets in live performances.

Sound Sculptures
(instrumentals)

The reason I call these Sound Sculptures are based on the way in which they were created. They originated by me recording my warm ups, in a free-form jam, then listening to them and also thought I might hear something that I could use as the beginning of a song, filler in a song etc. But then, I thought, hey, these might work well as instrumentals, if organized into a theme. Bryan Downey had taken one of my jams and edited it into a short piece about 6 months earlier, and this spurred the idea I could do the same, and maybe then relearn the instrumental and perform it as a whole. So I started editing them, taking the best parts of the jam, and forming them into some sort of a cohesive whole by "chipping away and smoothing out the rough edges" which is what you do when you create sculptures. They weren't really a fully performed instrumental, they were derived by that block of stone called a free-form jam.
