freedom now

This is a song that I wrote recently. It's dedicated to the people of the Middle East, Japan and places all over the world where people suffer from adversity.

I'm Back

For real this time, I swear! Anyway, a lot has happened recently. I moved to Boston recently, and there has been a lot of driving and shuffling things around but I'm finally just about settled in. I've moved the whole studio out of CT and while I don't have everything with me here at the apartment, I still have decent access to it. I've been working on a lot of different things. Right now I am bouncing some footage that I took of Valley FEAST part 2 up in Northampton. I'm about halfway through it and will be posting it all up later tonight. My portable recording setup is almost where I want it to be. For now though, I'm just excited to be able to go places and make some decent recordings. I'll also be posting a few other things that I have been working on, hopefully this weekend. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, here's an older video that I neglected to post.

/r/musicmakers songwriting competition

This is a piece I wrote for a small songwriting competition on http://www.reddit.com/r/musicmakers. The only rule is that the chord progression Dm, C, G has to be used somewhere in the song.

Coherence

Greetings. For the past few weeks, I've been working on a video for one of my original songs called Coherence. It is now finished and uploaded. Thanks to my friends who participated. Stay tuned for the next one.

Two Moons

Hello Everyone. This is a full cover of a song called Two Moons by a band called toe that I've been working on over the past 3 weeks. I learned every part by ear and improvised my own parts in certain places. I learned the classical guitar part first, then the drums, then bass, then did the synth mastering and finally did the electric guitar part. I used my friend Aaron's Presonus Firestudio for recording the drum and classical guitar parts with a combination of our mic collections. For the synth and glockenspiel parts, I used Propellerhead Reason 4. I recorded the electric guitar direct through a Line6 PODxt interface. All video editing was done in Adobe Premiere. Enjoy!
