I have a love/hate relationship with christmas music...as Im sure most people do.  

This is one I think has a really great melody and progression, so earlier this week I decided to give it a shot.

everything ends

everything that you say

I've always wanted to record a cover of this, so I did it tonight.  One of my favorites from one of my favorite records.  Its the opening track from "the photo album".  

Steadier Footing (death cab for cutie cover)

a work in progress with help from my cat


no stories (demo)

Both of these were made for video projects but were never used...though they were both still good reasons to attempt things I normally wouldn't, and super fun.  Need those challenges...

paper cut (all theses sounds were recorded on my desk, then edited together)

watching and waiting




dark passenger

only air

a hero's trial - "let it be"
(unreleased basement demo circa 2003)

I've had this idea for awhile, but excused myself from it till I felt I could stand up to it.  The time is here, and here is now.  The plan is to post a new photo and song (or some sort of audio) once a week.  I was originally planning on only posting music...but I figured since no visuals might get bland and I could use the push to take photos more regularly, I'd add it to the scheme.  This is an intentional challenge to produce new things on a weekly basis, and keep creation flowing.  However... I have so many things backlogged that I'll probably include those too, at least at first.  Other than that...

"the rules are there ain't no rules"...just a goal, a project, a plan, a purpose.
