A Logic Remix – “Around The Block”

Around The Block.mp3

I added a little instrumentation and remixed this years-old Acid track in Logic Pro.  Used the opportunity to learn about FX automation (note the vocal delays) – so it was a good learning experience.

Friendly Fire

Written after the first gulf war.  Another one of those sequenced keyboard things with just a mic and cassette player.

A Classical Christmas

A Classical Christmas.mp3

Recorded in 1992, this is a sequenced, semi-classical track that I wrote around Christmas in 1991.  Just a keyboard.

Wishin’ For A Miracle

Wishin’ For A Miracle.mp3

This is one of the first demos I recorded when I was putting together my studio in the mid-nineties.  My partner, Chris Raspante, did the guitars and sung the track – I did the rest.

Walk Away

Walk Away.mp3

I wrote this in 1992 or so – just me, a cheap keyboard, tape deck and mic.  This is another one that I will produce someday.  Pretty crappy recording, but passable.

Run Away

Run Away.mp3

Another demo song that I recorded somewhere around 1995.  This was before I had my studio, so it was a sequenced track with a keyboard and tape deck and mic.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Don’t You Fake It is a pretty solid album, led by “Your Guardian Angel” and “Face Down,” though the former gets the most listens from me on a regular basis.  www.redjumpsuit.com

On The East Side

On The East Side.mp3

A songwriting demo I recorded with Jon Mellen – he also works at eBags.com with me. I wrote the song, he sung the vocals. Everything else I did with samples and virtual instruments. The lyrics for this were orginally written in the early nineties.
